Health chat Thurs 26th April

Next Thursday's expert chat will offer you the chance to ask GP Keith Hopcroft questions about health.

Keith is a regular columnist and contributor to The Sun and The Times newspaper; as well as being a medical adviser to mansized.co.uk and to Doctor and GP Update magazines.

He's also written a number of books and has made numerous contributions to radio.

As always, if you don't think you'll be able to make the chat, but have a question for Keith, just post it here and we'll make sure it's included on the night

Is this just to do with physical or mental health? Or just health in general?

As he is a GP I would assume he will answer questions on both physical and mental health.

Nah, Health Service Manager, working mainly with GPs. I could ask some "awkward" questions

TBH I might pop in and ask some nice ones, I like to play fair around here. Thing is it would be like a busman's holiday for me.

Helen, please can you ask him about remedies for severe period pain (preferably not involving going on the pill). I'm 24 and have had awful periods for more than 10 years, the only time it was better is when I was on the pill but I don't want to be on it anymore.

Thanks

What about that implant thingy? Im getting it in my arm. It lasts for about 5 years, can shorten/ weaken your periods, and releases a dose of oestrogen into your system every month.

Though it depends why you are stopping the pill in the first place.
