This women’s health week, I’m encouraging you to go and get that check up you’ve been putting off. Whether you’re due a cervical screening test, a mammogram, a blood test or just want to chat about menopause, make your health a priority.
Your General Practitioner has an abundance of resources and knowledge to steer you in the right direction and keep your health on track.
So what are you waiting for? Make that appointment today.
It was a pleasure to be invited as a guest speaker at the monthly Me Time seminar held by SARA, a group that supports women who have been affected by domestic and family violence.
This month’s topic was all about spreading health awareness from cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening to skin checks amongst others.
To find out more about the group head over to mfo.org.au.
If you’ve been putting off a skin check, forgot to get your prescription, want to chat about birth control or even fancy a freshen up with some cosmetic injectables, be sure to book in today.
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend and looking forward to seeing you in clinic next week. 🎉
Up to 1 in 10 women and 1 in 20 men experience antenatal depression, with anxiety being just as common. This could include symptoms such as panic attacks, persistent, generalised worry, feeling constantly sad or having abrupt mood swings. Sometimes these symptoms continue even after pregnancy and may affect your ability to bond with your newborn.
If you or someone that you know is suffering from these symptoms, it is important to know that there is help, you are not alone. Please pop by and see me in clinic for more information.
Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed a greater number of people struggling with mental health and other related conditions following the pandemic.
Whatever your circumstance, always know that your General Practitioner is a great place to start to get help. Sometimes, just having a chat could be all you need.
If you think you may be affected and would like further advice, please pop by and see me in clinic.
