Women's Health at Every Stage of Life

Women’s health needs change over time. From adolescence and reproductive years through to menopause and beyond, the right support at the right time can make a meaningful difference to long-term wellbeing.

At The Surgery in Manuka Terrace and Wakefield Gardens Surgery, Dr Hillier, Dr Szallasi, Dr Harper and Dr Sharma all have a particular interest in women’s health and provide thoughtful, comprehensive care tailored to each stage of life.

A whole-of-life approach

Women’s health is not one issue or one appointment. It may include:

• Contraception and family planning

• Pregnancy care and post-natal support

• Cervical screening

• Breast health

• Pelvic pain and menstrual concerns

• Perimenopause and menopause care

• Preventive health screening and long-term wellbeing

  
  

Importantly, these areas often overlap. Hormonal changes, life circumstances and medical history all influence how symptoms present and how best to manage them.

Navigating menopause and life transitions

Menopause is a natural life stage, but that does not mean it is always straightforward. Symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disturbance, mood changes, brain fog and musculoskeletal discomfort can affect quality of life.

Managing menopause is not one-size-fits-all. A consultation allows time to:

• Discuss symptoms and their impact

• Review medical history and risk factors

• Consider evidence-based treatment options

• Explore lifestyle strategies that support long-term health

The aim is not simply symptom control, but helping women feel steady, informed and supported as their bodies change.

Care that is personal and considered

As a private billing practice, we allow time for detailed conversations and continuity of care. Women’s health often benefits from ongoing relationships with a GP who understands the broader picture — not just a single issue.

If you would like to discuss menopause, reproductive health, preventive screening or any other aspect of women’s health, appointments are available with our experienced doctors.

Support at every stage of life starts with a conversation.
