Women’s Health: When Should You See a GP?

Women’s health includes different needs across adolescence, reproductive years, pregnancy, menopause and later life. A GP appointment can provide an opportunity to discuss symptoms, preventive healthcare and changes in your health in a confidential clinical setting.

You may consider making a GP appointment if you have concerns about menstrual changes, contraception, sexual health, breast health, menopause symptoms, nutrition, mental wellbeing or another ongoing health concern.

Edmondson Park Medical provides women’s health services including Cervical Screening Tests, breast checks, contraception-related care, Mirena insertion, blood screening, iron infusions and mental health consultations, subject to clinical assessment, suitability and appointment availability.

Cervical screening in Australia has specific eligibility and screening intervals. The National Cervical Screening Program currently recommends screening for eligible women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 74 every 5 years. Your healthcare professional can explain which screening option is appropriate for you. citeturn1search1turn1search11
