Menopause Management

At Medsana Medical Clinic, we recognise that menopause is a difficult time for some women. We can guide you through this change of life with care and compassion, whilst providing up-to-date information on nutrition, exercise, hormone therapy and other forms of treatment if required.

Low libido, also known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), is a condition characterised by a lack of sexual desire or interest in sexual activity. It is a common problem that can affect postmenopausal women and can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychological issues, physical health problems, hormonal imbalances, and relationship problems.

Symptoms of low libido can include a decreased interest in sex, difficulty becoming aroused, and a lack of sexual fantasies or thoughts. It can also cause distress, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Treatment for low libido depends on the underlying cause of the problem. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as exercise, a healthy diet, and stress reduction techniques can help improve libido. Counselling or therapy may be recommended for individuals with psychological issues, while hormone therapy may be necessary for those with hormonal imbalances. 

Medications like private prescription hormone creams may also be prescribed in postmenopausal women if other treatments have not worked.  Part of the workup requires baseline testosterone and SHBG to be measured.

PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Our doctors are experienced in helping women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and the associated symptoms of weight gain, acne, increased hair, irregular periods and infertility. 

PCOS is a common problem that is under-diagnosed, our doctors are passionate about helping diagnose and treat any concerns you may have to do with your periods or hormones.

Cervical Screening

All our doctors perform cervical screening tests (pap smears) and keep up to date with the latest screening guidelines and the management of abnormal results.

Timely PCR Swab Service

Available between 8:30am – 9am

 

  1. Short Telephone Consult with the patient – bulk billed if Medicare eligible. Private fees with no Medicare rebates apply if the patient has not seen us in the last 12 months.
  2. The doctor will request a respiratory panel for viruses and bacteria (where clinically appropriate).  For example, Influenza, Covid, RSV, mycoplasma, pertussis and so forth.  Not all possible infections are on this panel.  The doctor may decline the request if it is not appropriate and direct the patient accordingly.
  3. Normal fees will apply if more than swabbing is requested.  Clinical examination and other requests requires a normal consultation at another time.
  4. Patient arrives at the car park next to Building 10 before 11am.  Or takes the pathology request to another 4Cyte collection centre.
  5. Patient calls reception to notify of their arrival so the 4Cyte Pathology Collector can gown up and go the patient’s car to swab the patient.
  6. PCR swab gets sent to 4Cyte.  The processing times varies according to workflows.
  7. 4Cyte will SMS the patient with the Covid results.  Positive PCR test results for other respiratory viruses or bacteria are not named.  A negative PCR result doesn’t mean the patient is infection free.  These swabs narrow down the possibilities and guide appropriate treatments.
  8. An appropriate appointment needs to be made for results in person, via video or via phone.  Normal fees applies for these consult.  Normal fees applies if the doctor calls the patient for further clinical advice and management.
