Most people associate inflammation with injuries that they can see, such as a twisted ankle or a bee sting. These are all examples of obvious inflammation, which occur as part of the healing process in response to an acute injury. However, it is the inflammation we can’t see – the subtle low-grade chronic inflammation that happens at a cellular level – that can eventually overwhelm our pre-set defences, resulting in tissue damage and degeneration associated with chronic disease.

Women have very specific health concerns; unlike men, we are hormonally more complex. We have to learn how to maintain our health while under the influence of the gently shifting sands of fluctuating hormones. This delicate balancing act occurs every single day of our reproductive lives, and continues into menopause.

Sexual health is the icing on the cake of good health and an important part of happy relationships. However, when things start to go wrong we often ignore them due to embarrassment or just accept that poor sexual health is just part of ageing. While aspects of our sexual health may gradually change as we age, we should all expect to have fulfilling sex lives into our older years as long as our general health is good.
