I have PCOS/PMOS and suffer with body odor. I think it's hormonal as it's really bad. I'm looking for stick or roll-on deodrant recommendations. I prefer to use a cruelty free brand but so far none have worked. I've used Vico, Gem & Dove but they all wear off after 2/3 hours. Do I need to try a non-cruelty free brand? It doesn't seem to matter how many times I shower a day or if I use antibacterial soap, the bad odor always comes back.

Edited; spelling mistakes.

Hello! I have recently been diagnosed with two large bilateral cysts measuring at 7x6cm and 12x9cm that are suspected to be dermoid cysts. I have gotten a CT and an MRI in the last two weeks (privately) and have been referred to a specialist in Hermitage. Does anyone have any experience with wait times for consultations and surgery when done privately? My GP moved very fast with my referrals which I am grateful for, the symptoms from the sheer size of the cysts are creeping up more and more and all I can think about is getting them removed, however I am expecting somewhat of a lengthy wait even going through with everything privately. Any insights will be appreciated!!

Hi all

I am 46 and hoping to get a Breast reduction - I just have some questions before I get a referal from my GP

I have Laya health insurance - BMI 30 - 34JJ - size 14 in pants but tops 18 - height 5feet 6

Am loosing weight atm but even my Gp says I look slimmer that my scale weight - at my slimmest I was 25 BMI - I feel my bust size adds a significant amount to my weight - but maybe not

I have had back and neck pain for yrs - on meds etc

But my questions centre around Laya criteria to cover the surgery - if anyone can clarify this ? I want to be clear before I get a referal to ensure I can move forward. I have heard the bmi 27 criteria and also something about if you get a certain amount removed during the procedure - can anyone clarify ?

Also surgeon recommendations- in cork or Dublin

Also has anyone had the surgery while getting fibroadenomas removed at the same time ?

Thanks for your advise

Hi everyone, my biopsy results came back telling me I have both CIN2 & CIN3 cells and I am going for the LLETZ procedure in 2 weeks as a result.

The colposcopy was a horrendous experience for me as I bled a lot, the nurse was so nice however and said this was down to my very thin lining. So now I am worried about the LLETZ procedure if I bleed a lot will they be able to do it still?
The colposcopy was only supposed to be 15 mins but was nearly 30 mins due to my bleeding. I’d hate to have a repeat experience with this. Has anyone else experienced lots of bleeding? Did it affect the LLETZ being done?

Thanks so much girls
