Women’s Health
Taking care of your health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. For women, regular medical check-ups not only help prevent illness but also detect health concerns early, when they are most treatable. At Minto Medical Centre, we offer a range of women’s health services designed to support you at every stage of life. Regular check-ups allow your doctor to assess your overall health and identify potential concerns before they become serious. Preventive care empowers women to take control of their health through early detection of conditions like cervical cancer, breast cancer, or heart disease, monitoring changes in reproductive health, managing hormonal shifts such as menopause or irregular periods, and receiving mental and emotional wellness support. At Minto Medical Centre, we understand that each woman’s health journey is unique. Our services include cervical screening (Pap smear), which helps detect abnormal cells in the cervix before they become cancerous, with regular tests recommended every five years for women aged 25 to 74. We also provide breast health checks through clinical breast exams and referrals for mammograms, when necessary, as early detection significantly improves outcomes. Our reproductive and sexual health services cover contraceptive advice, pregnancy planning, fertility support, and management of conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. For menopause management, we offer tailored care and lifestyle guidance to help women navigate hormonal changes, hot flushes, and mood swings. Additionally, we provide compassionate mental health support, including mental health care plans and counseling referrals, for women facing stress, anxiety, or depression while balancing roles such as mother, partner, caregiver, or professional. It is recommended to see your doctor annually for a general women’s health check-up, every five years for cervical screening or as advised, whenever you notice irregular cycles, unusual symptoms, or changes in your mood or body, and before planning a pregnancy or changing contraception. Support during perimenopause or menopause is also vital. At Minto Medical Centre, we believe that proactive, personalised care is the foundation of good health. Whether you’re due for a routine check-up, experiencing symptoms, or simply have questions, we’re here to listen and help. Book your women’s health appointment today—your health is worth it.
