Athena's Three Take Home Tips for Understanding your Gynae Health:
- You need to know your menstrual health and cycle and know what's normal for you. If you no longer have periods, you need to know when your last one was.
- We need to break down the stigma and taboo around gynaecological health. Learn and use the correct terminology for your body parts so you can describe any symptoms properly.
- Know your body! Have a look at your vulva and know what is normal for you. This will help so much should you have to explain anything to a medical professional.
