Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in your lower rectum and anus that are similar to varicose veins.

Everybody pees! You probably don’t give much thought to the processes in your body that regulate urination. That is, until something goes wrong. Your bladder is a hollow and muscular organ that stores urine, expanding in size until it’s full. Once your bladder is full, your pelvic nerves send signals to your brain. These signals are what cause the urge you feel when you need to urinate.

When your joints are stiff and in pain, it can be hard to go about your daily life.

Saxenda, better known as its active ingredient, Liraglutide, is a prescription-only injectable medicine used for weight loss. Saxenda is used daily and combined with a calorie deficit diet and increased exercise programme for the best results. Saxenda works by reducing the feeling of hunger and making the body feel fuller when you eat. This is through the body producing a hormone called glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1), which aids in regulating your appetite. Liraglutide mimics the way GLP-1 works but flips it to reduce your appetite, meaning you’ll gradually eat less and in summary, lose excess weight.

Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that’s different to other types of arthritis because it causes sudden and intense joint pain, often at night. The joint most afflicted tends to be the big toe, but any joint is susceptible.

Psoriasis affects around 2% of people in the UK and causes red, flaky, and crusty patches of skin that often have silvery-looking scales.

Some people may only experience mild flare-ups from time to time while others may have persistent symptoms that greatly impact a person’s quality of life.
