Challenge misinformation (politely!)
If you come across something online that sounds too good to be true… it probably is. Don’t be afraid to politely question it. You don’t need to argue, but you can say, “That’s interesting – do you mind if I check with my doctor?”
By doing that, you’re not just looking after yourself, but you might also help someone else pause and think twice.
Find the right GP for you
Here’s something important: if you see a doctor and don’t feel heard, validated, or have your questions answered, it’s okay to try someone else. Women’s health is complex, and sometimes it just takes the right fit.
A women’s health GP can be a wonderful support – someone who understands the specific challenges women face and can guide you through options without judgment.
Taking the lead in your health doesn’t mean having all the answers – it means knowing where to look and who to trust. Be curious, ask questions, and surround yourself with the right voices.
Because at the end of the day, your health is yours – and you deserve to feel empowered every step of the way.
