Join us Live this Thursday at 8pm.

I have a question box up on stories or add your question below 👇👇👇

If you are considering prolapse surgery, should you wait until after menopause?

That's the question we are hoping to answer for you.

Join myself and consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, specialist Urogyanecologist at The Coombe Hospital.

Join me Thursday evening at 7.30pm Dearbhail Ormand from will be chatting to me about her endometriosis journ, treatment and much more!

She has developed an amazing app to help other women with Endometriosis, she also shares very credible information on her instagram account and the App and tirelessly campaigns for other women on their journey with endometriosis.

March is endometriosis awareness month, and we hope this discussion can raise more awareness on this topic, which unfortunately significantly impacts the quality of life for so many women.

I am delighted to be joined again by to discuss surgery for vagainal reconstruction following vaginal delivery.

The last time I interviewed Dr. Agnew on instagram, we briefly discussed this topic.

On a regular basis, I get questions from my patients and messages on instagram regarding possible surgical treatment to improve sensation and vaginal dimensions after vaginal delivery - in some cases.

I am here to educate women on their pelvic health and for some women that includes surgery, of which I am no expert.

Dr Gerry Agnew is one of the top specialists in Urogyanecoloy in Ireland, and I am so grateful he will join me here to answer all my questions 🙌🙌

Va**nal health on Ireland am

I am so proud of Virgin media and for opening up these conversations on morning tv.

Va**na is an anatomical name, and over 50% of the population have one.

Women do not know enough about their bodies, and issues with vaginal health can have a huge impact on quality of life.

The more we open up the conversations, the more women can learn and know when they need to seek help and know that they are not alone!

Common is not normal!

Thanks so much to .o and Dr Caoimhe Hartley for the great chat, we could have talked for hours about vaginal health!

Just leaving this here!

Great article I was involved in, inspired by the live myself and Victoria did a few weeks back.

If you need l**e only Organic Will do! 🙌🙌🙌

20 minutes of daily yoga has been shown to reduce symptoms of constipation.

Gentle movement and relaxation is very effective for those struggling to get their bowel moving!

Join myself and the amazing for a 30 minute yoga session, then straight to the loo! 🤣

Friday 17th February at 11 am, or watch back the recording when you are in need!

Why can't I eat like my 20 year old self?

Like lots of college students, I over indulged on alcohol and processed foods! My body didn't like it, but it definitely didn't impact me as much a 2 week binge at Christmas!

I eat sooooo much healthier now, in general, but if I'm not "good" for a few days, I know all about it!

Susan is a nutritional therapist. She will be talking to me on Thursday night at 8pm to share her nutritional wisdom with me and you!

Consultant Dermatologist, Professor Caitriona Ryan is joining me to discuss skin changes that occur as we head into perimenopause.

Hormones have a huge impact on our skin and hair, as well as our mood, poops, sleep, brain function - basically EVERYTHING!

I'm going to ask Caitriona about my skin and try to answer some of your questions too so please leave them in comments below or in the question box on my stories ❤️

Surgery might be the answer!

Women who experience stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine) during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting, walking.........

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is the first line treatment.

But if you don't feel an improvement in your symptoms, we may need to refer you to a consultant Urogyanecologist.

Surgery is always a scary prospect, and understanding the surgical options, risks and outcomes is very important so women can make informed decisions about their next step.

I am delighted to be joined by consultant Urogyanecologist at The Coombe Hospital to discuss the surgical options for stress urinary incontinence!

Tonight I am speaking to Doreen Dempsey a fellow women's health physio and now author of The Magic Of Insight.

Doreen will be chatting to me about her book and her insights on overcoming life's adversities, having a positive mindset and reducing stress through emotional well-being strategies.

I hope the ladies reading enjoy my advice on toilet habits.
Perhaps an unexpected read in amongst the style and Goss ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The fabulous Caoímhe from is well know for her amazing interiors, DUY skills, fabulous fashion and documenting her life as a busy Mum.

A few weeks ago she was diagnosed with a prolapse and she shared this with all her followers. Hoping she could help other women with a similar diagnosis or those that didn't realise they had the same issue.

Prolapse is another taboo subject, not discussed enough!!!!! I do my best to inform you all but I think the chat with Caoímhe will be so insightful and helpful for other fabulous mums out there who my experience the same diagnosis. Making it less medical and more personal ❤️

Mirena Coil side effects.
I have had my coil for a year and I find it great. I wondered if it was impacting my weight until I focused on my diet and realised it was not the cause 🙈 in my case!

I get so many messages about my coil but I'm not an expert, I only have my own experience to go by.

Finally I have arranged a live with Victoria from who is going to chat to us about the coil and possible side effects.

Victoria Jones will be chatting to me about lubricants and vaginal Moisturiser and I why we should be selecting certain brands and not going for the readily available l**es in most pharmacies.

Be careful what you put in there ladies!

Chatting with Victoria about Mirena Coil side effects.

I get sooo many messages about this. I got my Mirena Coil 1 year ago and overall I'm delighted.

Victoria is going to fill us in on the science. - what side effects to expect.

I blamed it for ny difficulty to loose weight. - truns out the Coil was not to blame in my case 🙈

Myself and Victoria will be chatting about why you should choose organic lubricants.

We will be on at 9.30am discuss mirena Coil side effects. Both will be saved separately on my grid.

Niamh Healy from is a birth trauma resolution therapist. She is also the current Cuidiú president. I am grateful she has agreed to come and speak with me on this topic.

A few weeks ago on my stories we discussed birth trauma and pregnancy loss.
Many women felt there is a lack of support when it comes to dealing with the psychological and physical impact of traumatic birth and miscarriage.

If you would like to hear more on this topic please join us.

Gill from joins my live tomorrow night at 8pm to discuss different options for baby wearing.

Tag someone who needs it!
ie

1 in 10 women experience Endometriosis, but it can take years to diagnose.

Symptoms include chronic pain. bloating, constipation and heavy periods.

Even after diagnosis the treatment is complex and can vary based on women's age, symptoms and family planning.

Nicola Lingwood has kindly agreed to come and talk with me about her personal journey of Endometriosis diagnosis and treatment in Ireland.

I really hope this helps some women watching. ❤️❤️ I think it will be invaluable to hear it from a Woman's "patient's" perspective.

It will be saved to my grid for later viewing too.
