NEW ADDITION TO THE OGCM FAMILY IN SEPTEMBER!
For those of you that don’t know, my partner Ivan and myself are expecting our first child in September – which will mean some changes to clinic hours.
Currently I’ll be working up until Thursday Aug 28th, with the clinic closed for the whole of September. The clinic will then reopen in October for 2 days a week where I will have some wonderful acupuncturists filling in for me for the next 2 months. Then I’ll be returning back in clinic in December. For those on herbal medicine, I’ll still be refilling scripts over this time. Should you have any queries please feel free to contact me by phone or email enquiry@ogcm.com.au

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
The prostate is a gland that produces the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. This gland surrounds the urethra which is the tube that carries urine out of the body. When the prostate grows bigger and becomes enlarged, it causes pressure on the urethra which then can cause urination and bladder problems
The cause of an enlarged prostate is unknown, though the likelihood of an enlarged prostate increases with age, usually around 50 years old. Symptoms include difficulty urinating, a weak stream, incomplete emptying of the bladder, frequent/ urgent urinating and/or lower abdominal pain. Without treatment this can result in bladder infections, bladder stones and/or kidney dysfunction.
