Women’s Health: Key Facts You Should Know

Women have unique health needs at every stage of life. Many common problems, like anaemia, thyroid disorders and PCOS, are easy to manage when found early.

Checks to keep up to date

• Haemoglobin test for anaemia, especially if you feel tired or dizzy
• Thyroid test if you notice weight change, hair fall or irregular periods
• Blood pressure and blood sugar checks every year
• Breast self-awareness and regular breast checks
• Bone health review after menopause

When to see a doctor

Very heavy or painful periods, missed periods, unusual tiredness or a new lump should always be checked. I can guide you and refer you to a gynaecologist when needed.
