"What is perimenopause and do I have it?" This is a question you or your patients may be asking themselves right now. Perimenopause is a transitional period before you officially start menopause. During #perimenopause, your levels of estrogen will start to decrease. So, what does that mean? You may begin having menopause-like symptoms, such as hot flashes or irregular periods. Perimenopause can last for years. When you go a full 12 months without a period, perimenopause has stopped, and menopause has begun. Between fluctuating hormones and menopausal side effects, the last thing perimenopausal patients need is more pain during a pelvic exam. @NellaSpeculum could make all the difference.

Modern Devices in Women’s Health GYN Exams
About us
Our women-led team has created the first speculum designed with the patient in mind. Advances in women's healthcare continue to lag far behind those seen in other healthcare fields. We know the experience can be better for both patients and providers. Our goal is to address these unmet needs and develop products that transform every patient's experience in the exam room. At Ceek Women's Health, we believe a human-centered design approach leads to products that improve gynecological care for all. Our Nella® product line includes the NuSpec®, a redesigned vaginal speculum built for patient comfort, the VuSleeve®, an innovative single-use sheath, and the VuLight®, a single-use LED illuminator.

We talk a lot about pelvic exams on our channel, but this is only one important component to well-rounded health. Mammograms can help save lives, too. - Mammograms play an important role in helping detect breast cancer early when it's more treatable and less likely to cause problems. - They can find breast lumps at an early stage before lumps are big enough to feel or cause symptoms. - Early detection of breast cancer can lead to early treatment options and better chances of survival. - They can also show precancerous cells and other conditions. - Mammograms are considered the international gold standard for early breast cancer detection, and research shows that regular screening can reduce breast cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older get annual mammograms. However, women younger than 40 who have risk factors for breast cancer should talk to their clinicians about whether and how often they should get mammograms. Schedule your Mammogram today!

The Speculum is old. Like 200 Years old. For years, the vaginal speculum has been the same clunky, cold, painful, invasive device as when it was first invented. Well, at Ceek we'd just about had enough. And our founder said, "It’s TIME for something new!" So that is when @ceekwomenshealth developed the @NellaSpec, the first redesign of the speculum to put the patient and clinician experience first, emphasizing comfort and ease of use. And it is a game changer!

🌸 Breaking the Silence: Validating Women's Pain 🌸 It is time patients feel empowered to be honest and vulnerable when experiencing pain, and feel safe to speak out - especially during regular pelvic exams. Patients, if you are needing support talking with your clinician about pain. You may want to try the following tactics to make your pelvic exam more comfortable: 💜 Bring a friend or ask for nurse support. 💜 Request the smallest size of speculum or bring a @nellaspec Comfort Kit 💜 Ask your doctor to describe what is being done as it is happening. 💜 Ask to adjust your body positioning for maximum comfort. 💜 As much as possible, relax your stomach, thigh, and buttock muscles.

Hey, Nevada forensic nurses! We are headed to the Academy of Forensic Nursing conference starting tomorrow. We look forward to connecting with you on how the Nella Speculum can support forensic work by providing greater visibility and comfort during examinations. Adding the NellaSpec to toolkit can help ensure accuracy and compassion in sensitive situations.
