Women’s Health in Mount Evelyn: What Your GP Can Do For You
Women’s health is one of the most underutilised areas of general practice. Many women don’t realise how much their GP can manage, diagnose, and support beyond the standard annual check-up. If you’re in Mount Evelyn or the Yarra Valley, here’s what’s available right in your local community.
Cervical Screening and Sexual Health
The National Cervical Screening Program recommends a cervical screening test (replacing the old Pap smear) every five years for women aged 25–74. Your GP can perform this in a private, comfortable setting with minimal wait time, no need to travel to the city or a specialist.
We also offer consultations around sexual health, contraceptive counselling, and STI testing in a confidential, judgement-free environment.
Contraception and Long-Acting Options
Whether you’re considering the pill, an IUD, or a long-acting reversible contraceptive like the Mirena, your GP is often the most accessible and cost-effective place to start. Our doctors are experienced in IUD consultations and insertions, so you don’t need a referral to a gynaecologist for routine contraceptive management.
Menopause and Perimenopause
The Yarra Valley has a significant population of women navigating perimenopause and menopause, often without a GP who takes their symptoms seriously. We do. From hormone therapy consultations to symptom management and lifestyle support, we provide thorough, evidence-based care for this stage of life.
Pregnancy Planning and Antenatal Referrals
If you’re planning a pregnancy or have just received a positive test, your GP is your first port of call. We can arrange preconception blood tests, folate and iodine advice, antenatal shared care referrals, and early pregnancy support.
Breast Health
Breast awareness and regular checks are a crucial part of women’s preventative health. We can guide you through self-examination, refer you for mammograms through BreastScreen Victoria, and investigate any concerns promptly.
