Around 50% of postmenopausal women experience vaginal atrophy. Vaginal atrophy involves a thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls and tissues.

Also known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), vaginal atrophy is a condition that occurs due to a decrease in oestrogen levels, primarily during and after menopause. Oestrogen is a hormone that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of the vaginal and urogenital tissues, so a decrease causes changes in our vaginal health. There are treatment options available, pop in and see us.

Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if the contraception you have used has failed – for example, a condom has split or you have missed a pill.

You need to take the emergency contraceptive pill within 3 days (Levonelle) or 5 days (ellaOne) of unprotected sex for it to be effective – the sooner you take it, the more effective it'll be. You can get this at your local pharmacy, no need for a GP appointment.

The combined oral contraceptive pill (often just called "the pill") contains artificial versions of female hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which are produced naturally in the ovaries.

You can now request oral contraception at your pharmacy without a GP visit required.

This service is for patients who want to start taking the pill and those who are already on a repeat prescription for it.

Thrush is a yeast infection caused by the Candida species of fungus, which usually lives harmlessly in the vagina and does not cause any symptoms, because its growth is kept under control by normal bacteria. But if the balance of bacteria changes – for example, when you're pregnant, on antibiotics, or stressed – the fungus can grow and cause uncomfortable symptoms.

You can buy antifungal medicine from Prestwich Pharmacy if you've had thrush diagnosed in the past and you know the symptoms.

You should not use antifungal medicine more than twice in 6 months without speaking to a pharmacist or doctor.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect your urinary tract, including your bladder ( cystitis ), urethra ( urethritis ) or kidneys ( kidney infection ). UTIs may be treated with antibiotics, but they're not always needed.
