Boycott the beauty industry. Ladies in jobs where you get more tips if you wear makeup please look at the ingredients
May 8, 2025 By Ronnie Cohen
A study recruited Black and Latina women and asked them to log all the beauty products they use in a week. More than half of the women used products with known carcinogens.
More than half of Black and Latina women in Los Angeles who participated in a new study regularly used personal-care products containing a known carcinogen.
Study participants photographed the ingredient lists of all the products they used at home over the course of a week. The journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters published the study Wednesday.
Of 64 women, researchers found that 53% reported using soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, skin lightener, eyeliner, eyelash glue and other beauty products that contained formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives — toxins found to cause cancer in humans.
"It's really concerning that we are intentionally putting chemicals that release a carcinogen into our products that we apply to ourselves every day," said lead author Robin Dodson, associate director of research at Silent Spring Institute, a Massachusetts nonprofit studying environmental causes of breast cancer.
"Formaldehyde is a great preservative," she said. "That's why it's used as an embalming fluid. And we do have to remember formaldehyde is a carcinogen."
The study is among the first to demonstrate that formaldehyde-releasing preservatives are present in a wide range of beauty products. The research, collected in 2021, focused on Black and Latina women after previous studies showed they are more often exposed to formaldehyde in nail and hair products than white women. Researchers have questioned whether African American women's frequent use of chemical hair straighteners, suspected of containing formaldehyde-releasing agents, might explain why breast, uterine and ovarian cancers kill disproportionately more Black than white women.
In 2023, a dozen years after a federal agency classified formaldehyde a human carcinogen, the Food and Drug Administration was tentatively scheduled to unveil a proposal to consider banning the chemical in hair straighteners. Two years later, the government still has failed to act. The FDA declined to comment.
The new study shows that formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing products are present not only in hair relaxers but in a wide variety of beauty products, including some that women apply to their bodies far more frequently than chemical hair straighteners.
One study participant used three formaldehyde products: a leave-in conditioner, a rinse-off conditioner and a body wash. Another participant washed with hand soap with formaldehyde-releasing agents an average of twice a day.
An array of products
The sheer number of products — 1,143 over seven days — the 64 participants used struck Tracey Woodruff, who directs the University of California at San Francisco's Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment. The women in the study used an average of 17 different products a day — as few as 5 and as many as 43.
"It speaks to the pressure women have to look a certain way," said Woodruff, who was not involved with the new research. Social and economic pressures frequently compel Black women to alter their appearance to conform to white beauty standards, said study co-author Janette Robinson Flint, executive director of Black Women for Wellness. She called for government oversight of personal-care products. "We shouldn't have to be chemists to figure out what kinds of products will make us sick," she said.
"Beauty norms that focus on white presentation definitely are resulting in people using products that can be harmful to their health," Woodruff said. "This is part of the legacy and history of discrimination against the Black and Latinx population."
Woodruff would have liked the study to also compare product use by white women in an effort to assess whether beauty-product use is contributing to health inequities.
Woodruff and Dodson joined Flint in calling for government oversight and regulation of cosmetics and other personal-care products.
Banned in Europe
In addition to being a carcinogen, formaldehyde, a colorless and smelly gas, can cause rashes and can sicken those who breathe it in, according to the FDA. Formaldehyde-releasing products need not be listed as formaldehyde on ingredient labels. Instead, they are listed by their chemical names, such as DMDM hydantoin, short for 1,3-dimethylol-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, which, as Dodson noted, doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
The European Union banned formaldehyde as a cosmetic ingredient in 2009, and any cosmetic product containing a formaldehyde-releasing preservative above a miniscule concentration must include a warning. At least 12 states, including California and Washington, have recently proposed or enacted laws to regulate the use of formaldehyde in cosmetics.
How well the laws will protect consumers remains to be seen. Reports to the California Department of Public Health's Safe Cosmetics Program do show a tenfold drop in products containing formaldehyde from 2009 to 2022.
"In the very near short term, tomorrow, I think consumers should do the best they can to read product labels," Dodson said. "In the longer term, I think there has to be a regulatory solution. It has to come down to ingredient bans, likely at the state level."

I talked to my surgeon about how triggering an internal scan would be and we decided to go external only. Not that it mattered because they didn't have any appointments available until after my surgery and so we didn't have an ultrasound done at all. (I'm assuming that the ultrasound is related to hysterectomy prep, disregard this message if I'm wrong.)
It is but the problem is that my mother was a DES* baby and had a positive pap plus a rather large benign ovary tumor and my sister had andemiosis (like endometriosis but in the muscle) AND a maternal first cousin straight up had uterine cancer so even if the doctor was willing I actually kind of need to be screened for you know. surprises. So even if I could get away with not doing the internal one it's wiser to drug myself up and get through it 😭 trauma is bad! Cancer is worse!!!!!
right now my amygdala is throwing a rager but I know it'll be much less stressful when it's done. But you bet I'll be drugged to the gills.
*artificial estrogen used because they thought it made pregnancies stable and uhhhhhh surprise! It did not. Also it's a cross placental mutagen and it's high key a medical miracle that my mother ever had kids let alone carried Amy and I to term. Look it up, it's like three parts fascinating and ten parts horrifying

Heyyy You explain these things in ways I can actually understand is it insensitive to ask about the blocker ban? And I hope you haven't been affected by any of it and that you are okay 💖💖💖
HI !! i'm gonna be so honest and say that my initial response was going to be that i can't. and,,, i can't really.
but the corner feels really empty at the moment. which,,, i know it's not. but it's really fucking lonely both in and out of this space to be trans right now so i'm gonna make this corner mine 🙂↕️ let's talk about it.
to preface - it's so much deeper than everything below. it's,,, i haven't been hurt by the ban of puberty blockers but since they've made it indefinite, i've been taken off of all care. from my seizures to my mental health to even just "if i broke my leg right now, where the fuck do i go???". which,,, fucking sucks init. i thought maybe it was just a Me thing and i'd gotten unlucky with my gp, but all bar one of my trans friends have been taken off of everything. so,,, not directly no. but this isn't just an attack on Trans Healthcare, this is an attack on trans people receiving any healthcare. oh and they changed my name back to my deadname on the database without telling me. so that's. something.
yeah. it fucking sucks. eloquent, i know but idk. no words for it really and you've sent this at 4am which is prime crying time so 🫂🫂 thank you for checking in 🫂🫂
but now that the sob session is over, onto the important things:
THE BASICS:
puberty blockers: used to postpone puberty, once taken off of these puberty proceeds as normal.
these are not predominately a form of trans healthcare and can be used for: early onset puberty (affects v roughly 1 in 5-10,000), endometriosis (growth of uterine lining, incredibly painful condition), some forms of cancer - and some other things but these are the most common uses
these have been used commonly since the 80s to treat such things with no question in regards to their safety (because, spoiler alert: this isn't actually about the safety of them, it's about transphobia)
the ban only applies to gender dysphoria cases: note here, at the time of the original ban only 83 cases of this were being prescribed. more cis people were on them than trans people.
to clarify, in case it wasn't clear how blatant the transphobia is: puberty blockers do not function differently on trans people. healthcare does not discriminate, the system does.
TIMELINE:
MARCH 2024: nhs england decides that blockers will no longer be routine treatment for gender dysphoria
APRIL 2024: final cass report released -> more below but this was a review into gender identity services for under-18s, written by someone who hates trans people,,, i'm sure that won't be biased at all ! /s
MAY 2024: previous tory government tightens this and introduces an "emergent temporary ban" (those already on the drug are allowed to continue)
JULY 2024: labour gov comes into power and keep it in place. law is challenged in the high court, government wins.
AUGUST 2024: "temporary" ban extended again
NOW: wes streeting (health secretary) has made this indefinite with a review in 2027.
EXTRA DETAILS:
this comes from "expert advice" including the Cass Report. i'll link a review by Stonewall Scotland here but the general synopsis is that this is written by a terf who did not communicate with trans individuals, has no fucking clue what actually happens, and is completely fucking wrong about everything. government (both previous and current) approve this review 😄👍🏼 -PSSTTT so does jkr, she said she felt "vindicated" by this)
there are planned clinical trials by the nhs into the use of puberty blockers (will these happen? who knows! will they be fair? absolutely not, the nhs started this and have been cutting their trans services for fucking ages)
backed by Sex Matters (incrediblyyy transphobic organisation and PSSSTTTT jkr is connected to them! anyway :3 here's a quote from them -> "It marks another step towards puberty blockers being relegated to a shameful chapter of history, in which parents and health professionals were emotionally blackmailed into harming children in the name of 'progress'."
this here is a response from Trans Actual -> note, this is from the august extension, i'm unsure if they've responded to the indefinite ban yet.
there's most definitely more but i've spent too long looking at my google doc. i hope this helped explain it a little !!
it's all incredibly baseless with no evidence of the harm these "cause", but plenty of evidence on the harm the ban causes. it's blatant transphobia no matter how much they phrase it as "protecting kids"
#asks#once again: hold your trans friends tighter#and also thank you for checking in 🫂🫂🫂#sorry for the sob session lol. i'll be back to nonchalant fic rec robyn in no time#robyn's trans talks

Status Report and Mail Order Notification
Good evening brothers and sisters abroad. After the rush of events, I am finally getting settled. Today, I'd like to give you an update on my recent activities and announce the mail order of my original drawings and new publications.
The rush of events started on September 15. It all started with my best friend from high school and I going to LUPICIA, a famous Japanese tea company, to get some tea cakes for the upcoming events.
On 9/23, I exhibited at a joint Touhou event in Kyoto to display and distribute my new book and original artwork, and on 9/30, I was asked to be a second for my master's powerlifting competition, so I was engaged in seconding.
After that, I participated in Kouroumu, a Touhou event held in Osaka, where I exhibited and distributed my original artwork. I have now been working at the event for 4 weeks in a row.
And now that things have finally settled down, we have registered our new publications and original artwork on our mail order site! We have also registered them with the proxy purchase service in Booth's system so that they can be purchased by people overseas. We will charge a small fee for this service, but it will be available to anyone overseas. Of course they will be framed 💕.
In fact, we also have new postcard-sized original drawings of Eastern characters that we have not yet posted here on our website.
And here is a request for the future. My circle currently consists mainly of Touhou character illustrations, but I have started to work on original illustrations as well. And now I am raising funds for my hospitalization and surgery to remove my uterine cancer.
The date for the surgery itself has already been set, and after I finish a national powerlifting competition next month, I will be hospitalized for a little less than two weeks from November 20 to observe the surgery and post-operative condition.
Currently, due to a worsening of a chronic illness that occurred the year before last, I am unable to engage in normal work, and I am still unable to engage in any work other than drawing illustrations. I am a freelance illustrator and earn almost no income. I do not have enough money to face the hospitalization and surgery next month.
So I would like to ask my overseas followers to help me. Please spread the word about my original illustrations to people who are not just Touhou lovers. And if you think it is a wonderful work of art, whether you like the character or not, please welcome the original.
If as many people as possible welcome my original drawings and new publications, it will help to pay for my uterine cancer surgery and subsequent hospital visits.
Most importantly, it will also help fund the purchase of expensive immunosuppressive drugs for my uterine cancer and other incurable diseases.
Please, can you all help me?

"For years, Sharissa Derricott, 30, had no idea why her body seemed to be failing. At 21, a surgeon replaced her deteriorated jaw joint. She’s been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. Her teeth are shedding enamel and cracking.
None of it made sense to her until she discovered a community of women online who describe similar symptoms and have one thing in common: all had taken a drug called Lupron.
Thousands of parents chose to inject their daughters with the drug, which was approved to shut down puberty in young girls but also is commonly used off-label to help short kids grow taller.
The drug’s pediatric version comes with few warnings about long-term side effects. It is also used in adults to fight prostate cancer or relieve uterine pain and the Food and Drug Administration has warnings on the drug’s adult labels about a variety of side effects.
More than 10,000 adverse event reports filed with the FDA reflect the experiences of women who’ve taken Lupron. The reports describe everything from brittle bones to faulty joints.
In interviews and in online forums, women who took the drug as young girls or initiated a daughter’s treatment described harsh side effects that have been well-documented in adults.
Women who used Lupron a decade or more ago to delay puberty or grow taller described the short-term side effects listed on the pediatric label: pain at the injection site, mood swings and headaches. Yet they also described conditions that usually affect people much later in life. A 20-year-old from South Carolina was diagnosed with osteopenia, a thinning of the bones, while a 25 year-old from Pennsylvania has osteoporosis and a cracked spine. A 26 year-old in Massachusetts needed a total hip replacement. A 25-year-old in Wisconsin, like Derricott, has chronic pain and degenerative disc disease.
“It just feels like I’m being punished for basically being experimented on when I was a child,” said Derricott, of Lawton, Okla. “I’d hate for a child to be put on Lupron, get to my age and go through the things I have been through.”

Been spending a TON of time reading Regency and Victorian Romance and... where are the disabled people?
Let's list the diseases of the era.
Polio
Rubella
Scarlet Fever
Small Pox
Syphilis (Romance skips this)
Gonorrhea (other STIs too)
Cold
Flu
Typhus
Typhoid
Malaria
Leprosy
Yellow Fever
Cholera
Plague
Child Bed Fever
AND they used forceps to remove babies as a default from about the last Regency to about the 1930's because ya know men couldn't be forced to wait around sometimes, and sometimes the mother would die.
All of them had side effects if you should survive. So WHY is everyone so abled? and hitting 100% on children living to adulthood?
Then you had mass infections, there wasn't regulation on lead, there wasn't regulation on may drugs, there was morphine and other addictions which could cause an overdose.
And DESPITE ALL OF THIS
not a single character of yours is disabled. WHAT THE FUCK DUDETTES (since most of you are women).
I mean a Lady's Maid of Victoria's died from uterine Cancer, which caused a big problem.
Tiny Tim was born with a birth defect and you watch it every freaking year. Borderline Inspiration porn, yes? But I distinctly remember they said Tiny Tim might not live another year.
Sherlock Holmes had somewhat of a drug addiction...
Secret Garden, has a person in a wheelchair.
But suddenly all contemporary versions of the Regency and Victorian Eras... the babies all survive, there is no death in childbirth, and there is no longer disability, when in the fiction of the period, it periodically showed as a reality. Struggle with fertility, yes, child death that plagued both eras, especially when men took over childbirth, no.
(I hate a lot of the wheelchair depictions from the era, no lie since it's often miracle cures.)
You are aware witch belief was still a thing late until 1944! I mean... couldn't you think some of that was disability? Epilepsy wasn't formally understood until 1903. (Notice the dates) when they understood there were genetic factors.
AND THEN YOU HAD WARS
The regency era had men fighting in France. You think they came back mentally and physically unscathed?
Historical Fiction from the era, minus the romance often has disability and there are mentions of it in contemporary books. Feet got blown off, bullets got trapped in legs, etc.
So where are the disabled people?
And yet everyone is soooo abled in this historical recreations? I dun believe it. The rate of birth to death is suspiciously 20th-21st century?
A limp, wheelchairs, crutches? You saying they didn't exist? Just asking because I've been looking and I found one, but only as an accident.
He can be a jackass, but god forbid he's disabled or fat. The heroine can be those things, but not the romantic interest (despite the number of men reading romance going up).
People act like having a disability is the end of the world or something. I did find ones with ND, like Autism, but dude, you have how many wars and not one brother came back with a leg blown off?
Not all disability is depressing ya know. Maybe for abled people who like inspiration porn, it is, but for disabled people, it just is.

“In the early 1990s an "adventurous pediatric endocrinologist" in Amsterdam halted the puberty of a thirteen-year-old girl known as "B" by administering to her an off-label drug known as a gonad-otrophin-releasing hormone agonist, or GnRHa.(5) When administered to a child, it pauses the development of his or her secondary sex characteristics. For a girl, this means she will not experience normal breast development, menstruation, or typical fat distribution. A boy, meanwhile, will have lower muscle mass, less facial hair, decreased height, and his voice will not deepen.
At the time B received GnRHa, it was only used to chemically castrate male sex offenders and to treat prostate cancer. It has also been used to treat uterine fibroids and endometriosis in women-but for no longer than six months. Doctors also sometimes prescribed it to treat the rare condition of precocious puberty in children (when puberty begins before age eight in girls and before age nine in boys). However, such drugs were never approved for treating gender dysphoric children who were otherwise progressing naturally through puberty. After all, puberty is not a disease. In fact, the absence of puberty is a disease, known as Kallmann syndrome. When puberty blockers are given to healthy children, physicians are using drugs to induce a diseased state in the patient.”

Robyn Pennacchia at Wonkette:
Last week, Louisiana lawmakers empowered child rapists by voting down a bill that would have allowed an exception in their abortion ban for their victims. This week, they’re looking into classifying abortion pills as a Schedule IV “controlled substance” so that they can harshly prosecute people for helping to distribute them to those in need. The provision was added as an amendment to SB276, a bill that “creates the crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud to prohibit a third-party from knowingly using an abortion-inducing drug to cause, or attempt to cause, an abortion on an unsuspecting pregnant mother without her knowledge or consent and amends various abortion criminal laws to add the crime of attempted abortion.”
It is deeply concerning that Louisiana legislators are wholly unaware that all of this is already illegal. It is illegal, except in some emergency situations and even then only by medical professionals, to give anyone any kind of medication without their knowledge and informed consent. If they think this is legal, well, I wouldn’t leave my drink around a single one of them, is all I’m saying. It’s also clear that they don’t really understand what controlled substances are, why some drugs are scheduled and others are not, nor anything about the specific drugs they are trying to control. Misoprostol, for instance, is primarily used to prevent ulcers from NSAIDs, as well as to help stop postpartum hemorrhaging after a miscarriage. Mifepristone is sometimes used during labor, during IUD placement, during cancer biopsies, for Cushing’s syndrome and uterine fibroids.
[...] The bill’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. Thomas Pressly, introduced it partially for personal reasons, because his sister’s ex-husband actually did secretly dose her with an abortion drug, and was not, in Pressly and his sister’s estimation, punished severely enough for it. He served 180 days in jail, and the bill would raise that to 10 years and up to $75,000 in fines. It would be one thing to increase the penalties for dosing anyone in any kind of way, but there’s a reason they’re specifying abortion drugs. What they want is to prevent people from getting them for women who want to take them voluntarily but cannot because of their state’s gross law, and to institute major penalties for this. What they want is to be able to better track doctors who may still be prescribing these pills to abortion-seeking patients for reasons other than abortion.
Louisiana's SB276 bill to classify abortion pills such as mifepristone and misoprostol as "controlled substances" are an attack on reproductive freedom and family planning.

The Best Treatment for Fibroids: Exploring Effective Options for Relief
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. They affect a significant number of women, with studies indicating that up to 80% of women may develop fibroids by the time they turn 50. While fibroids are often asymptomatic, they can cause a range of symptoms, from heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain to fertility problems. If you’ve been diagnosed with fibroids and are seeking relief, understanding the best treatment for fibroids is key to managing the condition effectively.
In this blog, we will explore various treatment options available for fibroids, including both traditional and modern approaches, helping you make an informed decision based on your specific needs.
What Are Fibroids?
Fibroids, or uterine leiomyomas, are benign tumors composed of muscle and fibrous tissue. They can vary in size, ranging from tiny growths to large masses that can cause significant symptoms. Fibroids can develop in different parts of the uterus and are classified based on their location: subserosal (on the outer uterine wall), intramural (within the uterine wall), submucosal (just beneath the uterine lining), and cervical (in the cervix).
While many women with fibroids experience no symptoms, others may face heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, frequent urination, and pain during intercourse. In severe cases, fibroids can lead to complications such as infertility or miscarriage.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
If you have fibroids and wish to avoid surgery, several non-surgical treatments are available that can help manage symptoms and shrink the fibroids.
1. Medications
Medications are often the first line of treatment for fibroids. They can help control symptoms such as heavy bleeding and pain, and in some cases, can reduce the size of the fibroids. Common medications used include:
Hormonal Treatments: Birth control pills, IUDs, or hormone therapy (like GnRH agonists) are often prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce bleeding. These can also shrink fibroids temporarily by lowering estrogen levels.
Tranexamic Acid: This medication is used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and improve quality of life.
NSAIDs: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can help relieve the pain caused by fibroids.
While medications can provide relief, they may not be a permanent solution. They are often used as a way to manage symptoms before exploring other options.
2. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)
UAE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves blocking the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and eventually die. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and recovery time is relatively short. UAE is particularly beneficial for women who wish to avoid surgery but still need relief from fibroid symptoms.
This treatment option is effective for most fibroids, though it may not be suitable for submucosal fibroids (those growing inside the uterus). Additionally, while the procedure preserves the uterus, it may affect fertility in some cases, so it’s essential to discuss this with your doctor if you plan on having children in the future.
3. MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS)
MRgFUS is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to target and destroy fibroid tissue. The procedure is performed using MRI imaging, which allows doctors to precisely target fibroids without affecting surrounding tissue. MRgFUS is typically recommended for women who have fewer fibroids and are not planning to have more children.
This treatment has been shown to reduce symptoms such as heavy bleeding and pelvic pain and can be performed on an outpatient basis. However, it may not be suitable for larger or numerous fibroids.
Surgical Treatment Options
For women who experience severe symptoms that do not respond to non-surgical treatments, surgery may be necessary. There are several surgical options to consider, each with its own benefits and risks.
1. Myomectomy
A myomectomy is a surgical procedure in which fibroids are removed while preserving the uterus. This option is ideal for women who wish to maintain fertility and want to avoid a hysterectomy. Myomectomy can be performed through different techniques, including abdominal, laparoscopic (minimally invasive), or hysteroscopic surgery (through the cervix). The best approach depends on the size and location of the fibroids.
While myomectomy is effective in removing fibroids, there is a chance that fibroids may recur over time, especially if there are multiple growths.
2. Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, and it is considered the most definitive treatment for fibroids. It is typically recommended for women who are finished with childbearing and have severe symptoms that do not respond to other treatments. Hysterectomy can be performed through different methods, including abdominal, vaginal, or laparoscopic surgery.
While a hysterectomy eliminates the possibility of fibroid recurrence, it also means the woman will no longer be able to bear children. This is a significant decision, and women should carefully consider their options before opting for a hysterectomy.
Lifestyle Changes and Complementary Therapies
Along with medical treatments, certain lifestyle changes can help manage fibroid symptoms and improve overall health. These include:
Diet: Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while avoiding excessive red meat and processed foods may help reduce inflammation and promote overall health.
Exercise: Regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight and improve circulation, which can alleviate some fibroid symptoms.
Stress Management: Chronic stress can exacerbate fibroid symptoms, so incorporating stress-relief techniques such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing can help manage symptoms.
Conclusion
When it comes to the best treatment for fibroids, the right approach depends on various factors, including the size, location, and number of fibroids, as well as your symptoms and future fertility plans. Non-surgical treatments like medications, UAE, and MRgFUS offer effective solutions for many women, while surgery may be necessary in more severe cases.
Consulting with your healthcare provider is crucial in choosing the best treatment for your fibroids. With the right care, you can manage fibroid symptoms and improve your quality of life

🌸 Uterine Cancer Treatment in India – Advanced, Affordable & Accessible
Uterine cancer is one of the most common gynecological cancers, primarily affecting women after menopause. It usually originates in the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus) and is commonly referred to as endometrial cancer. In rare cases, it may develop in the uterine muscles, known as uterine sarcoma.
Fortunately, Uterine Cancer Treatment in India has seen remarkable advancements, with high success rates, experienced oncologists, and affordable medical services. This article provides a comprehensive guide to the treatment options, expected outcomes, and the Cost of Uterine Cancer Treatment in India.

👩⚕️ Who Needs Uterine Cancer Treatment?

Enhancing Patient Care: Best Practices for Administering Injectable LHRH Agonists

In the realm of hormone therapy, Luteinising Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) agonists play a crucial role in the management of hormone-sensitive conditions, particularly in oncology and reproductive health. In the UK, these agents are widely used for treating conditions such as prostate cancer, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. With their broad medical application, there is a growing emphasis on ensuring the safe and effective administration of injectable LHRH agonists. This article aims to highlight best practices and raise awareness about the administration of injectable LHRH agonists in the UK, contributing to improved patient care outcomes.
Understanding LHRH Agonists
LHRH agonists work by initially stimulating, then suppressing the release of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. This results in a temporary and reversible reduction in sex hormone levels—testosterone in men and estrogen in women. The administration of injectable LHRH agonists is often carried out in clinical settings such as GP practices, hospitals, or specialist outpatient clinics.
These medications are typically administered via intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injections, depending on the formulation. Dosing schedules may vary, ranging from monthly to yearly, requiring healthcare professionals to maintain up-to-date knowledge and competencies.
Importance of Proper Administration Techniques
Correct technique in the administration of injectable LHRH agonists is vital to ensure the efficacy of the medication and minimise potential complications. Poor administration can result in reduced therapeutic effectiveness, increased risk of adverse effects, and patient discomfort.
To address this, the Administration of Injectable LHRH Agonists Awareness UK campaign encourages clinicians to:
Stay informed about the latest clinical guidelines.
Undergo regular training in injection techniques and patient communication.
Understand dosing regimens and drug-specific instructions.
Prioritise patient education to support treatment adherence.
Best Practices for Administering Injectable LHRH Agonists
1. Patient Assessment and Preparation
Before administration, a comprehensive assessment of the patient is essential. This includes reviewing the medical history, confirming the diagnosis, and understanding the treatment plan. Patients should be informed about the purpose of the therapy, potential side effects, and what to expect post-injection.
Key steps include:
Confirm the medication, dosage, and route.
Check for contraindications or allergies.
Ensure proper storage and handling of the medication.
Gain informed consent and provide written information when necessary.
2. Aseptic Technique and Safety
Maintaining aseptic technique is paramount to reduce the risk of infection. All equipment should be sterile, and hand hygiene must be strictly followed.
Recommendations:
Use gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Disinfect the injection site thoroughly.
Dispose of sharps immediately in designated containers.
3. Injection Site and Technique
Depending on the formulation, injections may be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Selection of the correct site—such as the abdomen for SC or the gluteal muscle for IM injections—can significantly influence drug absorption.
Tips:
Rotate injection sites to prevent tissue damage.
Insert the needle at the recommended angle (45° for SC, 90° for IM).
Inject the medication slowly and steadily.
4. Monitoring and Follow-Up
After administering the injection, observe the patient for any immediate reactions. Document the procedure accurately, including the time, site, and batch number of the medication.
Follow-up care includes:
Monitoring for delayed side effects.
Ensuring adherence to the treatment schedule.
Addressing any patient concerns or discomfort.
Raising Awareness in the UK
The Administration of Injectable LHRH Agonists Awareness UK initiative plays a pivotal role in standardising practices and improving clinical outcomes. It seeks to educate healthcare professionals across the UK about the latest evidence-based protocols while also empowering patients with knowledge.
This awareness drive includes:
Workshops and seminars for nurses and GPs.
Online resources and refresher courses.
Public health campaigns to encourage timely diagnosis and treatment initiation.
Challenges and Opportunities
While the administration of LHRH agonists is routine in many clinical settings, several challenges persist:
Variability in practices across healthcare trusts.
Lack of standardised training for non-specialist staff.
Patient anxiety related to injection discomfort or side effects.
To overcome these issues, a collaborative approach is essential. National healthcare bodies, training organisations, and patient advocacy groups must work together to ensure consistency, safety, and compassion in the administration process.
Patient Education and Support
One of the cornerstones of effective LHRH agonist therapy is patient engagement. Healthcare professionals should provide clear, empathetic communication that helps patients understand their treatment journey. Educational materials, visual aids, and helplines can be useful tools.
Encouraging self-reporting of side effects, setting reminders for appointments, and offering psychological support all contribute to better treatment adherence and improved outcomes.
Conclusion
The Administration of Injectable LHRH Agonists Awareness UK initiative underscores the importance of competency, consistency, and compassion in patient care. With hormone therapies being central to the treatment of many long-term conditions, ensuring their safe and effective delivery is vital.
By adhering to best practices, staying informed, and putting the patient at the centre of care, healthcare professionals in the UK can significantly enhance the therapeutic experience and outcomes for those receiving injectable LHRH agonists. Raising awareness and maintaining high clinical standards will ultimately lead to a more efficient, patient-focused healthcare system.
