A female health hub which provides easy to access information on a range of women’s health issues including menopause, has been launched.
What does the Female Health Hub offer?
The hub, aimed at women of all ages, acts as a point of reference to put women in control of their own health. It provides information on key areas of physical and mental wellbeing. Women can read about a variety of topics including: the signs and symptoms of the menopause, what is endometriosis, living with pelvic inflammatory disease and support for heavy and painful periods.
It also provides short videos from Benenden Hospital’s team of Consultant Gynaecologists, who offer advice and support on topical women’s health issues.
An introduction to the female health hub
Consultant Gynaecologist, Mr Rowan Connell, welcomes viewers to the Benenden Hospital female health hub.
Welcome to the female health hub. Here you'll find plenty of easy to access resources about women's health, whatever your age. The purpose of the female health hub is to put you in control of your health by providing easy to access information on key areas of physical and mental wellbeing to women. Women's health is an important topic in the news at the moment and it's something that isn't really talked about by women, generally.
We want to provide as much information as possible on key topics at Benenden Hospital. Our expert gynaecologists are able to diagnose and treat various female health issues including chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, heavy periods and urogynae issues, such as incontinence and vaginal prolapse. We offer a wide range of private gynaecology treatments such as hysterectomy through keyhole surgery or otherwise and the MonaLisa Touch.
If you're looking for advice on any health issues that are affecting you, your first point of contact would be your general practitioner or your nurse practitioner in your GP practice. Alternatively, of course, you can access our female health hub or you can come as a self pay patient to see our gynaecologists or our specialist nurse practitioners.
Ending the taboo surrounding women's health issues
Women’s health concerns are often thought about as a taboo subject and more needs to be done to support women up and down the country. Rowan Connell, Medical Director and Consultant Gynaecologist at Benenden Hospital said: “Women’s health is an important topic and is something that isn’t talked about enough. We want to provide women with as much information as we can.
As we enter #MenopauseAwarenessMonth, we're encouraging you to seek the necessary help you need for the #Menopause and #WomensHealth. We have easy to access support all in one place on our #FemaleHealthHub. Access our resources here: https://t.co/gv2nkXnEbR pic.twitter.com/FEaW4YgGVN
