Menopause impacting sleep
I never sleep more than 4 hours continuously in the night since hitting menopause – I am on HRT. Is this something that might get better once I am through the menopause? Thanks (Karen)

Hi, I now have to get up twice in the night to use the bathroom, (i'm 30) - I do drink a lot of water throughout the day, might this be the problem? Thank you (Melissa)

Do women need more sleep than men?
Is it true women need more sleep than men? If yes, why is that the case? and how much sleep should women be getting? Thanks (Sarah)

Hot flushes
Hi, I'll be 60 in July and get a hot flush maybe once every few weeks. While they're not bad enough to soak the bed, they occasionally wake me up during the night.
Is there anything I can do to stop them waking me up in the night? (Maureen)

I have an appointment with the gynaecology department in a couple of weeks, but I am not holding out much hope. In 2007 I had a stress related incontinence operation...

Post Hysterectomy
After suffering with andenomyosis and fibroids for years I had a hysterectomy last year, my uterus and cervix were removed. There really hasn’t been much after care information to be honest.

Painful intercourse
I have extreme pain during sex and smears. I cannot help but scream or shove my fist in my mouth. I have had this since my late 20s. There have been lots of tests and scans and nothing is seen.
