September is dedicated to raising awareness about 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗰𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 (𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗦), a prevalent hormonal disorder impacting millions of women around the globe. This condition arises from a hormonal imbalance, resulting in the ovaries producing elevated levels of male hormones. As a consequence, it can lead to various symptoms, including:

🔵Irregular menstrual cycles
🔵Increased hair growth
🔵Acne and oily skin
🔵Weight gain
🔵Infertility
🔵Hair thinning
🔵Darkened patches of skin

It's essential to understand that not all women with PCOS will experience every symptom, and the intensity of these symptoms can differ. If you are encountering any of these signs, consulting a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis is highly recommended.

Menopause typically occurs naturally in a woman's 40s or 50s. Menopause marks the natural conclusion of a woman's menstrual cycle, confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period. The phase leading up to menopause, known as perimenopause, may commence several years before your last menstrual cycle. Throughout this period, hormonal changes can lead to various symptoms.

If your symptoms are severe, please schedule an appointment with your chosen gynaecologist for a thorough assessment and further guidance. If you wish to book an appointment with our offices please Whatsapp us directly.

Day Surgery can be daunting, here are a few things to keep in mind:-

🔹Ensure you understand the procedure by asking your gynaecologist to explain all the details, risks, benefits, and alternatives. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have, regardless of how small they may seem.

🔹Understand the risks and benefits: Like any medical procedure, gynaecological surgery comes with its own set of risks and benefits. Have a thorough discussion with your gynaecologist to make a well-informed decision.

🔹Fasting instructions: Before the surgery, you will need to fast for a specific number of hours to avoid complications during anaesthesia.

🔹Medications: Inform your gynaecologist about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. You might have to discontinue some medications before the surgery.

🔹Logistics: Make arrangements for transportation to and from the surgery centre or hospital. Additionally, ensure there is someone available to assist you with self-care at home post-surgery.

If you need more information please don’t hesitate in contacting our practice.

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing pain and inflammation. Symptoms include painful periods, painful in*******se, painful bowel movements, excessive bleeding, and infertility.

If you need more information or assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us or visit our website www.drsylvainkalonji.co.za for more details.

If you haven't yet scheduled your regular pap smear this is your reminder to do so.

Pap smears are supposed to be done regularly (depending on the risk profile) and this routine test is important to screen for cervical cancer.

It also checks for any STIs and can be an early indicator to catch any serious issues early on.

Just as regular dentist appointments are important, regular gynae appointments are just as vital.

For more information visit our website at www.www.drsylvainkalonji.co.za or Whatsapp us directly for more information or to book an appointment.
