Women’s Health Conditions We Treat on the Gold Coast

Equipped with modern technology, our practice adheres to international standards in treating a diverse array of women’s health concerns. We also embrace a holistic approach that’s focused on not just addressing your symptoms but also your overall wellbeing:

  • Vaccinations
    Vaccines are a simple yet effective way to safeguard your health. We offer essential vaccinations for illnesses, such as RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), HPV (human papillomavirus), MMR (mumps, measles, rubella), as well as a range of other travel, specialised, and preventive vaccines to help protect women’s health on the Gold Coast.
  • Cervical Screening
    Cervical screening every five years is recommended for women aged 25 to 74, particularly those who are sexually active, to spot HPV early and lower cervical cancer risk.
  • Menstrual Issues
    For many women, menstrual struggles like pain, heavy periods, or PMS (premenstrual syndrome) are more than just an inconvenience and can impact daily life. We take your menstrual health seriously and provide personalised treatments to help you manage your symptoms and feel more comfortable.
  • Teen Health
    The teenage years come with many challenges and changes. Our compassionate team understands this well and is on hand to answer all your questions and provide teens with respectful and confidential care that covers their menstrual health, acne, sexual health, and mental wellbeing.
  • Menopause-Related Health Concerns
    Menopause is an inevitable part of life that can feel overwhelming at times, with symptoms such as hot flushes, aches and pains, mood changes and weight gain. Our Gold Coast women’s health care doctors have supported many patients over the years and can help manage your symptoms and overall wellbeing.
  • Contraception
    With many contraceptive options available, including pills, patches, implants, IUDs (intrauterine devices), injections, and emergency contraception, it can feel overwhelming to find the right one. Our team takes the time to explain the benefits and potential side effects of each option, ensuring you are well-informed when making a decision.
  • Mirena®
    Mirena® is a popular long-acting contraceptive in Australia that can also help reduce heavy or painful periods. Some of our clinicians are trained to perform Mirena insertions and removals.
  • Fertility
    Fertility challenges are a common concern for many individuals and families in Australia. If you’re planning a pregnancy or struggling to conceive, our doctors will assess your fertility, recommend initial tests, and guide you through the next steps or referrals if needed.
  • Iron Infusions
    Constant fatigue and low energy can be signs of iron deficiency. If your fatigue persists despite taking oral iron supplements, our iron infusions administered under careful medical supervision can help replenish your iron stores quickly.
  • Chronic Diseases
    We understand that women face unique chronic health challenges, including cardiovascular disease, mental health conditions, and reproductive issues such as endometriosis, and we provide tailored care to address these diverse needs.
  • Sexual Health
    Sexual health is an essential part of overall wellbeing. Our women’s health clinic on the Gold Coast offers comprehensive care for a range of concerns, including STIs (sexually transmitted infections), low libido, painful sex, and hormonal changes.
  • Pregnancy
    Pregnancy is a unique journey for every woman, marked by its own challenges and milestones. Our team understands this and is here to support both you and your baby with expert care from the earliest signs of pregnancy through to birth planning
  • Postnatal Care
    The weeks following the birth of your baby are just as important as your pregnancy. We offer care for your physical recovery, emotional wellbeing, and your baby’s early needs.
  • Breast Problems
    While not every breast change is cause for concern, early assessment is essential. We manage symptoms such as lumps, pain, and nipple discharge promptly and thoroughly, facilitating early identification of any issues and guiding you through the appropriate care.

Yes, you can. At Coolangatta Medical Centre, we have highly experienced and dedicated female doctors who provide personalised care in a supportive environment, ensuring you feel comfortable and well cared for throughout your health journey, no matter how big or small your concern may be.

We typically recommend booking your first appointment with a doctor as soon as possible after a positive pregnancy test result. This is because early prenatal care is vital for confirming the pregnancy, reviewing your health, providing referrals if needed, and offering guidance for a healthy pregnancy. The first visit typically includes a comprehensive health assessment, a physical exam, and laboratory tests. If required, our doctors may also provide referrals for an ultrasound scan.

No, it does not cause infertility, but it temporarily prevents pregnancy due to the hormonal impact, and fertility usually returns to normal within a few months after stopping the pill. While some women may experience a short delay in conceiving, there is no long-term impact on the ability to get pregnant.

For women aged 50 to 74, our doctors advise scheduling mammographic screening every two years. Women between 40 and 49 years old, as well as those over 74, are also encouraged to consider screening. Additionally, any breast changes or family history of breast or ovarian cancer should prompt a consultation with your doctor.

Combined oestrogen-progesterone MHT (menopausal hormone therapy) is linked with a slight increase in breast cancer risk, which rises with more prolonged use. Oestrogen-only MHT has little to no increase in risk and may even reduce it in some cases.

Your personal risk can vary depending on the type of hormones used, when treatment is started, and how long it’s taken. Therefore, it’s essential to consult with your doctor to determine the approach that’s right for you.

While some sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea, often cause no symptoms, others may show some signs. These can include unusual discharge, pain or burning during urination, sores or bumps from infections like herpes or syphilis, itching, or even pelvic pain.

If you experience any of these symptoms or have had unprotected sexual intercourse, it’s important to get tested regardless of how well you feel.

The majority of cervical cancers result from a persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus transmitted through sexual activity. Although most HPV infections resolve spontaneously, certain infections can induce cellular changes in the cervix that may progress to cancer. Additional risk factors include smoking, immunosuppression, and a history of other sexually transmitted diseases.

For any concerns or to arrange screening, the healthcare team at Women’s Health Practice on the Gold Coast is available to assist you.
