Abortion clinic

by

As abortions are legal throughout the UK (excluding Ireland), there are many abortion clinics located around the country.

Abortion clinics offer a range of services including medical and surgical abortions and much more. Both of these procedures are carried out at your chosen abortion clinic located near to you.

Abortion Pills and Medicine

Medical abortion

A medical abortion is often referred to as the early abortion pill. This includes two different types of medicines known as mifepristone and misoprostol. The first tablet to be taken is mifepristone and this ends the pregnancy by blocking a hormone named progesterone. This breaks down the lining of the uterus and ensures the pregnancy cannot continue. The second tablet is misoprostol. Once swallowed, it makes the womb contract which leads to cramping and bleeding and further, the loss of the pregnancy.

Medical abortions can be used up to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Surgical abortion

There are two types of surgical abortion and dependant upon how many weeks pregnant you are, will depend on what type of surgery you have, whether it be a vacuum aspiration or dilatation and evacuation.

Vacuum aspiration is carried out using local anaesthetic usually, however, can be carried out using general anaesthetic. But, if the patient is under 14 weeks, this procedure if carried out using local anaesthetic as the recovery time is less and it allows you to leave the clinic unattended and if needed, drive sooner. This procedure removes the pregnancy by a gentle suction.

If the patient is between 15 and 24 weeks of their pregnancy, dilatation and evacuation will be the procedure which terminates the pregnancy. The pregnancy is removed using narrow forceps through the neck of the womb and due to this, the procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic.

Are you considering investing in hair extensions but not sure whether it’s worth it or not? We are here to help you make that decision.

Length of hair

Hair colour

Tape Hair Extensions

Thickness/ volume

Some people are naturally born with thin hair and others develop thin hair through hair loss. However, thicker, more volume hair can be achieved by hair extensions. Also, you can choose how much volume you wish to add as dependant upon the amount of hair added, will depend on the thickness.

No damage

As stated previously, hair extensions cause no damage to your hair whether they are fitted for the length, thickness or volume, or whether they are added to change the colour of your hair such as creating an ombre look. Along with this, they do not prevent your hair growth and therefore, your natural hair will still grow alongside the extension fitting.

To conclude, there are many reasons as to why you should invest in hair extensions including ones not stated above. However, if you need any further persuading as to whether you should in invest your money on them or not, contact us via our contact form and a member of the team will be in touch with you ASAP.

Testicular Ultrasound

by

What is a testicular ultrasound?

A testicular ultrasound is an ultrasound scan that obtains images of the testicles and the surrounding tissue in your scrotum. If you require a testicular ultrasound, you may be referred by your doctor or there are private ultrasound clinics which offer this service.

The testicles are the main reproduction organ in a male located in your scrotum which is the fleshy pouch of tissue that hangs under your penis. They produce sperm and the male sex hormone – testosterone.

If you require an ultrasound, they are proven to be safe as well as painless and a non-invasive procedure. This specific procedure uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of the organs inside your body and helps to detect the problems around the pain of your body part.

Testicular Ultrasound

 

Why do I need to have a testicular ultrasound?                                                                   

A testicular ultrasound is the primary imaging method used to diagnose abnormalities in the testicles. You may be recommended by your doctor to have a testicular ultrasound to:

  • Identify a lump in your scrotum or a testicle is solid which may indicate a cyst or even a tumour
  • Decide the outcome of trauma
  • Search for possible testicular torsion. This is a twisted testicle
  • Identify sources of pain or swelling in your testicles
  • Evaluate for varicoceles, which are varicose spermatic veins
  • Assess the causes of infertility
  • Find the location of an undescended testicle


How is the ultrasound performed?

Whether your testicular ultrasound is carried out in the hospital or at a private ultrasound clinic, the same technique will be used. Usually, a testicular ultrasound will last approximately 20-30 minutes and will be as followed.

Firstly you may be asked to get changed into a ‘gown’ that will help the sonographer’s access the area easily to perform the scan. When you then come to have the scan, you will be asked to lie down on your back with your legs spread apart. The procedure will then take place and the sonographer will move the transducer around your scrotum and you will need to lie still until it finishes for accurate results. Once the procedure has finished, the gel used will be wiped off your body and you will be able to carry on with your day normally. You should then wait to receive your results and seek further medical help if needed.
