When it comes to your well-being, you might think you have it sussed. However, there could be a few health essentials that you’re not too familiar with. From accessing the morning after pill to tackling period pain, here are three top tips every woman should know.
The Morning After Pill
The morning after pill is a tablet that is taken after unprotected sex to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant. Levonelle and ellaOne are the two types available, and they need to be taken within a specific time frame after sex in order to be effective. Many women are under the impression that accessing this type of emergency contraception is an embarrassing and difficult process. However, it’s actually much easier to get than you might think.
The morning after pill is available from a wide range of places, including your GP surgery, local chemists and sexual health clinics. To make sure it’s suitable for you to use, you may be asked a few simple health questions first. If you’re keen to avoid a conversation like this in person, you can access the morning after pill online from reputable websites.
You Don’t Have To Suffer With Your Ears
Ear infections are a lot more common than you think. If you are suffering with painful ears, help is at hand. Why not take a look at the tips from Auris Ear Care and see if you can help relieve the symptoms?
Booking a local hearing test can be a simple yet powerful step toward understanding what’s really going on with your ears and preventing minor issues from becoming long-term concerns. With professional assessments and early guidance, you can take control of your hearing health in a way that supports your overall wellbeing and everyday comfort.
You don’t have to put up with period pain
When it’s ‘that time of the month’, it’s normal to experience some discomfort. In fact, it’s thought that nine out of 10 women have painful periods, and the symptoms can range from stomach cramps, to back ache, to feeling sick. If you tend to suffer during your monthly cycle, it’s important to note that you don’t have to put up with it.
The good news is, there are a number of self-help treatments you can try to help manage your pain. For example, taking painkillers such as ibuprofen, paracetamol or aspirin could help, or if you think you need something stronger, you could speak to your pharmacist about trying a targeted treatment. You might find that using a hot water bottle or taking a warm bath helps alleviate your pain, or you could practice some relaxation techniques. If your period pain doesn’t improve, you should speak to your GP.
Whether it’s being more comfortable with your emergency contraception options or putting a stop to your period pain, keeping these tips in mind could help to make you feel happier and healthier.

In my experience so many women do not look after themselves at all well and put up with far too much emotional and physical pain without seeking help. Hate seeing my daughter now experiencing period pain but this post is a good reminder of self-care and I will encourage her to do this #AnythingGoes
I know Kate, it’s so hard to put yourself first, especially if you are a wife or mother. You are constantly worrying about other people’s well being first. Yes we must all encourage girls and women to look after themselves more.
