Menstrual Health

Regular periods indicate that your body is functioning normally. You should have a regular menstrual cycle unless you are breastfeeding, pregnant, postmenopausal, or have an illness that causes your periods to stop. Painful, irregular, or heavy periods can be signs of a severe health problem. Irregular periods can also make it harder to get pregnant. If issues with your menstrual cycle are affecting your life, you can get help and support at our women’s health clinic in Penrith. Different problems with the menstrual cycle can include painful periods (dysmenorrhea), absent periods (amenorrhea), heavy periods (menorrhagia), infrequent periods (oligomenorrhea) etc. You can also get in touch with us to manage premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or menopause.

Mental health

Good mental health is required for your overall well-being. Mental health problems are unique in women, especially those that occur at times of hormone change, such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder, perinatal depression or perimenopause-related disorder. Depression and anxiety occur more in women than men. If you are experiencing any problem and you are unsure where to go for help, talking with your primary healthcare provider can be your first step. At the Medical and Fitness Centre, expert psychiatrists and psychologists are practising to provide you with the specialised care you need. They use various techniques and medications when needed to treat a broad range of mental health problems in women.

Pregnancy care
