You have symptoms that have been building for a while — heavier periods, a pressure low in your pelvis, a lower abdomen that looks different than it used to. Somewhere in the reading you have done, fibroids came up. Now you want to know whether that is actually what you have, and what it takes […]

The pain does not stay in one place. It starts somewhere deep in your buttock or the back of your pelvis and travels down the back of your leg, sometimes as far as your calf. There may be numbness, or pins and needles, or a heaviness in that leg that makes stairs harder than they […]

You have changed what you eat. You have added fibre, increased water, tried the things that are supposed to work. Some of it helped a little, briefly. But the fundamental problem has not shifted: a persistent fullness, difficulty going, a sense of pressure low down that does not resolve after a bowel movement, and bloating […]

It arrives a day or so before the bleeding does. A deep ache low in your back, sometimes spreading into your hips or the tops of your thighs, heavy enough that sitting through a meeting is uncomfortable and sleeping on your usual side does not work. Then your period ends and it lifts, and you […]

Either way you were left with a term rather than an explanation, and the obvious question — larger because of what — was not answered. Start here: […]

You went in expecting a straightforward answer. The urge had been constant for weeks — that pressing, insistent sense that you need to go, arriving without warning and refusing to be put off. You gave a sample, the culture came back negative, and you were told there is no infection. Which is good news, except […]

You finish, wash your hands, and within a minute or two the feeling is back. Not urgently, not painfully — just the low, persistent sense that your bladder is not actually done. Sometimes you go back and a small amount comes out, which is briefly satisfying and then confusing, because you were sure you had […]
