Managing minimally invasive bunions: A patient’s guide

​A bunion, medically known as hallux valgus, is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, causing it to lean towards the other toes. However, not all bunions are the same; some are smaller or less pronounced, known as minimally invasive bunions, which cause fewer or milder symptoms. A leading orthopaedic surgeon helps with understanding the development of these bunions and options for managing them to help patients make informed choices for their foot health.

A guide to premenstrual dysphoric disorder

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, also known as PMDD, is a condition that manifests before the menstrual period and is characterised by its symptoms of severe psychological and physical distress. It can occur anywhere between two weeks up to a few days before the period, and during the period it is much milder. It is related to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual tension (PMT), but is notably quite extreme in comparison to those two. In this article, consultant gynaecologist Mr Narendra Pisal explains clearly what PMDD is and how to handle it.

Reasons for irregular periods

Every menstrual cycle, just like every body, is different. They might differ in duration, in the length of time between periods, in how much blood is shed, what the accompanying symptoms are. Normally, the length of the cycle is between 21 to 42 days. The standard of an “irregular” period will be based on what is “normal” for each individual, as they are determined by age, weight, contraceptive methods, if there have been previous pregnancies, breastfeeding status, and proximity to menopause. This is because these factors affect hormone levels, which may disrupt “normal” periods. In this article, a consultant gynaecologist and laparoscopic surgeon goes over some of the reasons why a period may be irregular.

Adrenal gland disorders: what patients need to know

The adrenal glands are a pair of small glands that sit just above each kidney. Despite their size, they play a vital role in regulating many of our body’s essential functions, including metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and stress response. They produce hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone, each of which has a distinct function in keeping the body balanced. Adrenal gland disorders occur when these glands produce either too much or too little of these critical hormones, leading to various symptoms and health issues. We speak to an experienced consultant endocrinologist, who explains all you need to know.
