Are These Everyday Symptoms Actually Serious?
5/11/202638 min
In this important episode of No Appointment Necessary, Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey look at the symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers every woman should know (ovarian, cervical, womb, vaginal and vulval cancer). They cover everything from bloating and unusual discharge to bleeding after sex and changes in your body that are often dismissed as “normal”. They also explain the warning signs you should never ignore, why early detection matters, and the reason so many women are diagnosed too late. Plus, cervical screenings, HPV, smear tests, menopause, HRT, embarrassment around intimate health, and why knowing your normal could genuinely save your life. In Chat GP, Dr Amir answers a question on tinnitus and whether menopause hormones could be linked!? 💬 Got a question? Email: noappointmentpodcast@gmail.com We've partnered with Randox Health.
