Women's health doctor in Carindale, unhurried care.
A women's health doctor in Carindale should give you time, not a rushed five minutes. Our GPs look after contraception, sexual health checks, menopause care and family planning, and get the full picture before advising.
Pelvic floor, bladder and period health
Leaking when you laugh or exercise, needing to rush to the toilet, heaviness in the pelvis, or periods that dominate your month are all common, and all treatable. Yet many women never mention them to a doctor because they feel embarrassed or assume it’s normal after having children or as they get older. A women’s health doctor who gives you time can change that.
At Carindale Doctors, our GPs assess pelvic floor, bladder and period problems carefully, explain what’s causing them and outline your options. These range from pelvic floor physiotherapy and simple lifestyle changes to medication, a hormonal IUD for heavy bleeding, or referral to a specialist when needed.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ women’s health doctors inside Westfield Carindale help with bladder leakage, pelvic floor weakness, prolapse symptoms and heavy or painful periods. Treatment includes physiotherapy referral, medication, the hormonal IUD and specialist care. Children 16 and under are bulk billed, and Medicare rebates apply where eligible.
