Symptoms
Aches and Pains
Aching muscles and joints are a common complaint especially as we get older. They can be the result of too much gardening or carrying heavy objects in which case they are usually only temporary.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
The prostate has been described as a tiny time bomb ticking away deep inside the plumbing of every man.
Common Cold
A cold is one of the most common viral infections. It occurs when the lining of the respiratory tract, in particular the nasal passages, become inflamed.
Low Mood
Feeling down in the dumps is the best way to describe ‘low mood’. A bad day at work, crowded commuter trains or problems such as relationship and financial worries are all common triggers.
Menopause
Menopause literally means the last day of your last period although the term is usually used more loosely to describe the various symptoms that occur in the years before and after this event.
Migraine
A migraine is a severe headache in which the pain develops slowly into a throbbing ache. It can last from four hours to three days and affects about one in four women and one in 12 men in the UK.
Premenstrual Syndrome
The term premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is used to describe various physical and mental symptoms that some women experience in the week or two weeks leading up to their period.
