Women’s Health in Werribee

Many women put their own health last, behind work, children and everyone else’s appointments. Some concerns also feel awkward to raise. Women’s health appointments with our GPs are a space to talk openly about periods, contraception, pregnancy, pelvic pain, bladder changes or anything else on your mind. Nobody will hurry you along.

Several of our doctors have a particular interest in women’s health, including Dr Mariam Kamel and Dr Evodia Dushimimana. If you would prefer to see a female doctor, just let our reception team know when you book.

Women’s Health Services We Provide

• Cervical screening. The Cervical Screening Test, which replaced the Pap smear, is recommended every five years for women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 74. Self-collection is an option for many patients.

• Contraception. Advice on the pill, injections and long-acting options, with your GP arranging insertion or referral where needed.

• Pregnancy and preconception care. Planning for pregnancy, early pregnancy visits and antenatal care.

• Menopause. Support for hot flushes, sleep problems, mood changes and other symptoms, including a discussion of treatment options and their risks and benefits.

• Breast health. Breast checks, investigation of new lumps or changes, and referral to BreastScreen for women eligible for free screening mammograms.

• Period and pelvic concerns. Heavy or painful periods, irregular cycles, suspected endometriosis or PCOS, and pelvic floor problems.

Support Beyond the GP Consultation

Women’s health often overlaps with nutrition, mental wellbeing and long-term conditions. Our team includes a dietitian with experience in fertility, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, among our allied health practitioners. 4Cyte Pathology is on site, so blood tests can often be done during the same visit.
