Not as scary as they sound, testicular ultrasounds are much more common than anyone may think! The team at The Ultrasound Co shed some light on what to expect if your practitioner refers you or your partner for further investigation.
In order to provide the most comprehensive health care to our patients, we have built solid relationships with other modalities that complement us and share our vision for a truly holistic healthcare. One of our specialist collaborators is The Ultrasound Co - a private and independently owned specialist ultrasound practice is Mosman Park and we have invited them today to speak a bit about what differentiates them from the big radiology companies out there
In women’s reproductive health, the age of 35 seems to be rather significant. A ‘ripe old age’, if you will. It’s the number after which women are medically referred to as geriatric mothers and it’s long been considered as the age for a woman to be faced with a fertility cliff.
Research estimates about 60% of couples between 35 and 39 will conceive without assisted reproductive technology, but generally becoming pregnant will take longer than couples who are younger.
When a baby is born, so is a mother, and the birth of a mother can be more intense than childbirth.
You are here because you believe birth is about making mums too. Our modern western culture (or lack thereof) simply does not addresses how to support Newborn Mothers through this major life transition, as a rite of passage.
No one acknowledged the deep and profound changes going on inside a Newborn Mother’s brain, let alone how we — as professionals — could support them through it.
Pregnancy loss or miscarriage is always heartbreaking, no matter how early or late your loss occurs. The loss of a pregnancy is both physically and emotionally stressful, especially when faced with the devastation of recurrent pregnancy loss (three or more miscarriages). Feelings of loss, grief, fear, guilt, anger and disappointment are all very common and complexly understandable. In addition to a lot of tender loving care, counselling and reassurance, it is important to have thorough investigations to try to understand the big question of why and why us?
There are natural steps you can both take to improve the chances of pregnancy. As the average age of first- time mothers continues to climb in Australia, so too do the number of couples facing difficulty getting pregnant.
For some people its the most harrowing experience of their life that also led to the happiest. For others it's the logical next step they hoped they'd never have to take.
