Frequently asked questions
Our practice focuses on your health and well-being.
What is meant by women's health?
Women's health refers to the health aspects that are specific to the female body. It covers a wide range of topics, from reproductive health to the prevention and treatment of diseases that affect women more frequently.
What does a preventive medical check-up involve?
A screening can cover various aspects, including gynaecological examinations, breast cancer screening, bone density tests and screening for cardiovascular disease, depending on your age and individual health history.
How often should I go for a check-up?
The frequency of screening depends on your age, health history and specific health concerns. However, it is generally recommended to have a screening at least once a year.
What is the menopause and what symptoms can it cause?
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life that occurs when menstruation stops and fertility ends. It can cause various symptoms, including hot flushes, sleep disturbances, mood swings and physical changes.
What can I do to detect breast cancer early?
Regular breast self-examinations and regular mammograms are key elements in the early detection of breast cancer.
How can I prevent cardiovascular diseases?
A healthy diet, regular physical activity, avoiding smoking, good control of blood pressure and cholesterol, and stress management can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Can I still get pregnant during the menopause?
While fertility decreases with menopause, it is still possible to become pregnant until menstruation stops completely. If you want to avoid pregnancy, you should continue to use contraceptive methods.
What changes can I expect during perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the phase before the menopause when a woman's hormones begin to fluctuate. Symptoms can include irregular periods, hot flushes, sleep disturbances and mood swings.
Can I take medication during pregnancy?
Some medicines are safe during pregnancy, others are not. Always talk to your doctor before taking a new medicine.
What are the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
HRT can help relieve symptoms of the menopause, but it also carries certain risks, including an increased risk of certain types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. The decision for or against HRT should be made individually based on your symptoms, health history and personal risk factors.
