Contraceptives are designed to prevent pregnancy. They work by stopping the male sperm from reaching the female’s egg. There is a variety of contraceptive methods available and they all work slightly differently.
Many women experience an ache in the lower abdomen, back and tops of their legs, especially in the first few days of their period. The first couple of days are usually the worst and then it lessens.
Menopause management is best tailored to each individual. You may not want anything other than the confirmation that your symptoms are menopause related. Without management, the symptoms we’ve discussed can last a few years in most women.
At Integriti, our network of services are designed to be accessible and inclusive.
We offer a host of specialist services to women in-house and, if you have a Medicare card, you may be eligible for rebates. You’ll also benefit from shorter wait times, with appointments readily available.
If you are struggling to see us in person, we can facilitate online video consultations with you. These consultations can be arranged by contacting the preferred clinician via their booking profile. Please note that video consultations may not attract Medicare rebates. We recommend that you check that the Integriti GP you select provides online consultations via the booking link or contact us below or via email at [email protected] to discuss further.
We've developed a short test to help you quickly determine which methods of contraception are most suited to your particular circumstances.
