This timeless quote, along with others like it, underscores the enduring human perception of the mind and body as two distinct yet inseparable facets of our being. In this article, we delve into the intricate relationship between physical health and mental wellbeing.</span></p><p><b>Physical Health’s Impact on Mental Wellbeing</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s start by examining how physical health profoundly influences mental wellbeing. It’s a simple concept: when we’re in good health, our stress levels decrease, and our anxiety diminishes. Conversely, poor health can cast a shadow over our lives, leading to worry and fear about aging, illness, and diminished mobility.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two essential aspects to consider when exploring how physical health affects mental wellbeing. Firstly, individuals already grappling with health issues must receive proper care and management. As our society ages, the prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension continues to rise. Neglecting these conditions can lead to complications that further exacerbate life’s challenges. For instance, untreated diabetes can result in numbness in the feet and slow-healing wounds, causing significant stress, especially when these problems persist. Therefore, anyone diagnosed with such health conditions must maintain regular contact with a healthcare professional for effective treatment.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Secondly, even those in peak physical condition eventually face the uncertainties of aging. Uncertainty is a potent source of anxiety, especially concerning one’s health. A proactive approach to mitigating this anxiety involves regular health screenings, as recommended by your healthcare provider, to detect and address medical issues early on.</span></p><p><b>The Reciprocal Relationship: Mental Wellbeing’s Impact on Physical Health</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conversely, mental wellbeing can profoundly affect physical health. Firstly, a positive mental state is a prerequisite for effective self-care. When burdened by constant stress and worries, it becomes increasingly challenging to plan for and make sound decisions regarding one’s health.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Secondly, scientific studies have consistently demonstrated that chronic stress takes a toll on the body’s physiology. The fight-or-flight response, activated during periods of heightened stress, leads to an increase in stress hormones like cortisol. While this response is useful for immediate survival, sustained high levels of cortisol are associated with elevated blood pressure, glucose levels, and weight gain, which can have long-term health repercussions. Stress is also known to trigger inflammation in the body, exacerbating chronic diseases and posing a significant risk for heart attacks and strokes in the future.</span></p><p><b>Nurturing Mental Wellbeing</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, how can one foster mental wellbeing? The first step is adopting an active lifestyle with regular exercise. Physical activity triggers the release of endorphins, those feel good hormones associated with happiness and overall wellbeing. These endorphins counteract the negative impact of stress hormones on our bodies. Moreover, prioritizing adequate sleep—ideally, 6-7 hours per night—plays a pivotal role in maintaining mental clarity and reducing stress. During sleep, the brain efficiently consolidates and eliminates metabolic toxins accumulated during the day. Neglecting sleep allows these toxins to build up, leading to symptoms like brain fog, confusion, forgetfulness, and a lack of </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">mental clarity—all of which contribute to heightened stress levels.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In conclusion, the profound interplay between physical health and mental wellbeing underscores the importance of nurturing both aspects of our lives. By acknowledging this connection and taking proactive steps to maintain balance, we can ensure a happier and healthier future for ourselves.</span></p><p><strong>Also See:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.dtapclinic.com/hiv/hiv-pep/">PEP HIV</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dtapclinic.com/std/rapid-hpv-testing/">HPV Test</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dtapclinic.com/hiv/hiv-testing-and-screening/">HIV Test</a></li></ul>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.dtapclinic.com/articles/dtap-x-talk-your-heart-out-unlocking-the-mind-body-connection/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">40883</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Making Sexual Health Inclusive for the LGBT+ Community</title> <link>https://www.dtapclinic.com/articles/making-sexual-health-inclusive-for-lgbt/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=making-sexual-health-inclusive-for-lgbt</link> <comments>https://www.dtapclinic.com/articles/making-sexual-health-inclusive-for-lgbt/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin9638]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 07 Jun 2023 06:18:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Health Information]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.dtapclinic.com/?p=40372</guid> <description><![CDATA[In the advent of Pride this June, we look at the unique sexual health challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community and the steps we can take to alleviate it.

After all, sexual health is for everyone, regardless of what your gender preference or biological sex is. </span></p><h2><b>What are the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face on sexual health?</b></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sexual health hasn’t always been easy to discuss – but the challenge is even tougher for LGBTQ+ individuals. In Singapore, misconceptions and prejudices have manifested into troubling issues for the LGBTQ+ community seeking sexual health, such as:</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delayed consultation and treatment due to stigma and discrimination</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The stigma against LGBTQ+ patients can discourage them from seeking medical advice and treatment. The fear of judgment, mistreatment, or the breach of confidentiality can be daunting and dishearten them from consulting a doctor regarding their sexual health concerns. At times, they might even be hesitant to disclose their sexual and gender identity, which can lead to doctors missing crucial information for appropriate care.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, stigma and phobia against STDs can dissuade patients from seeking medical assistance. According to the Infectious Disease Act, all new diagnoses of HIV need to be notified. For many non-citizen LGBTQ+ individuals, this instills a rational fear of having their student pass or work permit canceled because of a positive HIV test. This can thus cause delays in testing and lead to end-stage HIV without proper treatment for these patients. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For older LGBTQ+ individuals, they may even already see themselves as outcasts and have accepted the fact that they are not going to receive help. This can lead to them stopping care for their chronic medical conditions entirely. </span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lack of training and awareness for healthcare providers</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Singapore is a heteronormative society, health issues for LGBTQ+ individuals are not included during medical school as part of the syllabus. There is a dearth of training in managing healthcare needs for these patients. As a result, not all healthcare providers have the expertise in managing the specific healthcare needs for LGBTQ+ patients, and this can cause inappropriate or inadequate care and advice. Healthcare providers with stigma against LGBTQ+ patients can also lead to biased assumptions and misdiagnoses for patients.</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lack of access to inclusive healthcare</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Singapore, there is a disparity in access to healthcare for LGBTQ+ patients. Not all doctors or healthcare providers are deemed LGBTQ+ friendly—there might only be a few physicians trusted by LGBTQ+ patients to deal with their specific healthcare needs. A lot of healthcare providers also do not affirm LGBTQ+ support publicly for fear of persecution. Due to societal norms, lack of advertisement, and laws regulating medical advertisement, access to these doctors are mostly limited and passed on through word of mouth. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to that, socio-economic and lingual differences may limit patients in accessing healthcare providers sensitive to their needs. </span></p><h2><b>How can healthcare providers ensure that their services are inclusive and welcoming for LGBTQ+ individuals?</b></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are many ways healthcare providers can be more inclusive and welcoming of members of the LGBTQ+ community. Here are some examples:</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use inclusive language</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Communication can make or break the doctor-patient relationship, even more so for LGBTQ+ patients. Inclusive language that can acknowledge and respect diverse sexual orientations and gender identities should be encouraged. This includes using the preferred gender pronouns and/or names, and respecting how patients prefer to be addressed. </span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Avoid assumptions</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Healthcare providers should avoid making assumptions about a patient’s gender and sexual orientation. Open-ended questions should be utilized to allow patients to share their health issues and concerns. </span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ensure competency</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Healthcare providers who are looking to work with LGBTQ+ patients should look to understand and address their specific health concerns and needs. Issues such as sexual health, mental health, hormonal therapy, gender affirming care and preventive treatment may be relevant to the LGBTQ+ patients.</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Establish networks</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It can sometimes be difficult for healthcare providers to manage the diverse healthcare needs of their LGBTQ+ patients. However, there are many other specialists and organizations out there that care for and support the LGBTQ+ community. For example, </span><b>Oogachaga</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is a community-based, non profit organization that works with LGBTQ+ individuals. By establishing the network of support, LGBTQ+ patients can be assured that even if the healthcare provider is unable to address their concerns, they can be referred to someone else that does. </span></p><h2><b><i>What steps can healthcare providers take to improve cultural competency and sensitivity when providing sexual health services to LGBT individuals?</i></b></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nowadays, healthcare providers can actively work toward creating a more open, welcoming environment for the LGBTQ+ community. Some of the ways they can do so include:</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Education and training on LGBTQ+</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Providers should seek education and training on LGBTQ+ cultural competency, which includes understanding the unique health needs, experiences, and disparities faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. This can involve attending workshops, conferences, or online courses that focus on LGBTQ+ inclusivity</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Develop inclusive policies and practices for LGBT+ individuals</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Providers should review and update their policies and practices to ensure they are inclusive and affirming for LGBTQ+ individuals. This includes implementing nondiscrimination policies and using inclusive language on forms and documentation.</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Create an inclusive and welcoming environment for LGBTQ+</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Healthcare providers should strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ individuals. This can be achieved by training staff on providing respectful and affirming care, addressing any biases or prejudices, and ensuring confidentiality and privacy for LGBTQ+ patients.</span></p><h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seek feedback and engage with the LGBTQ+ community</span></i></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Providers should actively seek feedback from LGBTQ+ patients and engage with the local LGBTQ+ community to understand their unique needs and concerns. This can involve forming advisory groups, conducting surveys, or participating in community events.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Between the effects of stigma and the lack of medical training and awareness of healthcare providers, LGBTQ+ individuals tend to face tougher challenges in consulting and treating their sexual health concerns. Nonetheless, they are just as deserving of good health and life, and there are many ways we can help them achieve that.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At DTAP Clinics, we aim to give you a safe space to discuss your sexual health concerns, no matter your gender or sexual identity.

It is a highly specialized and dynamic tissue that changes in thickness and composition throughout the menstrual cycle in response to hormonal signals.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Its main function is to provide a suitable environment for the implantation of a fertilized egg, signifying the start of pregnancy. If implantation does not occur, the endometrium is shed during menstruation, making way for a new endometrium to take its place later on.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The endometrium plays a critical role in female fertility, and its proper development and function are necessary for successful conception and healthy pregnancy. Certain conditions can cause abnormalities in the endometrium, such as endometrial hyperplasia (irregular thickening) – this is a precancerous condition that can lead to endometrial or uterine (womb) cancer if not detected and treated early. This is why some people might need to undergo endometrial sampling and biopsy. Let’s take a closer look at what this process does, why it is needed, and what it entails.</span></p><p> </p><p><b>What is endometrial sampling?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Endometrial sampling, also known as endometrial biopsy, is a diagnostic procedure which extracts small pieces of tissue from the womb lining for examination in the laboratory. The samples are checked for possible infection, abnormal cells, polyps, fibroids, precancerous or cancerous changes.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><b>When do I need an endometrial biopsy?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Endometrial biopsy is most frequently used when evaluating abnormal uterine bleeding. Patterns of bleeding that require investigation can include:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heavy flow or prolonged menstrual bleeding lasting more than 8 days</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Frequent periods occurring more than once a month</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bleeding or spotting in between monthly periods</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any bleeding that happens after menopause</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Endometrial biopsies are also useful in evaluating abnormalities in instances when a thickened endometrium is seen on pelvic ultrasound, or when a pap smear test shows endometrial cells present.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This procedure can be done at anytime during the menstrual cycle but pregnancy is a strict contradiction. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><b>Why is endometrial biopsy important?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abnormal uterine bleeding should be taken seriously and investigated to rule out precancerous endometrial hyperplasia or uterine cancer, before any treatment to regulate periods can start. Investigations can include a pregnancy test, blood tests, STI testing, a pap smear and/or a pelvic ultrasound. However, a full work up should also include an endometrial biopsy to exclude any endometrial abnormalities, especially if the above tests are negative.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Endometrial hyperplasia is a precancerous condition that can eventually lead to uterine cancer. Risks of progression to cancer range from 5-25%, depending on the level of hyperplasia found. Any such hyperplasia, when detected early, can be treated with either oral hormones or an IUD (intrauterine device) with progesterone – this can lead to a regression of the condition in as little as 6 months from the start of therapy.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An endometrial biopsy should be considered for women with the following risk factors for endometrial cancer:</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">– Aged above 35 years old</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">– BMI above 30kg/m2</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">– No children</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">– Has a history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><b>What happens during an endometrial biopsy?</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An endometrial biopsy can be performed in the clinic and does not require anaesthesia. During the procedure, a speculum is inserted so the cervix is visible. A very thin suction tube called a pipelle is then inserted through the cervix, into the uterus, to collect the endometrial sample. This may be repeated up to 3 times to ensure adequate tissue collection and that multiple areas of the endometrium have been sampled. The procedure takes about 10 minutes to complete. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">During and after the procedure, you may experience some mild period-like cramping and discomfort. This should not last for more than a day. You can take paracetamol to help with the discomfort. Some spotting or light bleeding is normal after the procedure for a few days. The procedure is very safe, with less than a 0.1% risk of perforation of the uterine wall.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In summary, abnormal uterine bleeding should always be investigated to rule out precancerous and cancerous changes of the uterus. Endometrial sampling is a safe and quick procedure that can be performed in clinic, and avoid the risks of general anaesthesia. Early detection can lead to better outcomes, if treatment is started early.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speak to us at DTAP @Robertson if you are concerned about abnormal uterine bleeding.</span></p><p><strong>Also See:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.dtapclinic.com/womens-clinic/pap-smear-singapore/">Cervical Cancer Screening</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dtapclinic.com/std/wart-removal-singapore/">Wart Removal</a></li><li><a href="https://saestheticsclinic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aesthetic Clinic Singapore</a>: S Aesthetics Clinic</li></ul><p> </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.dtapclinic.com/articles/endometrial-sampling/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">40289</post-id> </item> <item> <title>DTAP @ Orchard’s Operating Hours Will Change on 15 February 2023</title> <link>https://www.dtapclinic.com/articles/dtap-orchards-operating-hours-will-change-on-15-february-2023/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dtap-orchards-operating-hours-will-change-on-15-february-2023</link> <comments>https://www.dtapclinic.com/articles/dtap-orchards-operating-hours-will-change-on-15-february-2023/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Miri Yeo]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 11 Feb 2023 08:49:10 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.dtapclinic.com/?p=40167</guid> <description><![CDATA[Dear All, This notification is to make you aware that we will be changing the operating hours starting 15 Feb 2023 for one of our clinics – DTAP @ Orchard.

After all, nothing is easier than to launch your favorite shopping app and key in health supplements and you are presented with a myriad of choices of health supplements purporting to cure or treat various ailments and you can compare prices too!</p><p>However, some of these online suppliers are faceless and if you do encounter problems with the supplements you will find it difficult to get support. Also, some manufacturers who supply these “health supplements” may add a potent western medicine to their products, but the dose they add far exceeds the recommended dose sometimes by 10-100x the recommended dose. Finally, the manufacturing of these potent western medicines addictive are not likely to conform to strict quality control like those from reputable companies so there may be toxic products mixed in or other impurities. All this means that you are putting your life and your well-being at risk.</p><p>So buyers beware! Isn’t your health and well-being worth more?
