Period Problems and Pelvic Pain
Painful periods, heavy bleeding, irregular cycles and pelvic pain are common, but they are not something you simply have to put up with.
Our GPs can assess symptoms, arrange investigations and discuss treatment options for conditions such as endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and other gynaecological concerns.

If your periods are affecting your work, study, sleep or quality of life, it is worth having a conversation.

Why See a GP for Women’s Health?

Something on your mind? Let’s take a look sooner rather than later.

- Changes in your skin or breasts

- Low libido or changes in sexual wellbeing
Our role is to listen, explain your options, and support your decisions without judgement.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first appointment is simply a conversation.
We may ask about your medical history, lifestyle, and any symptoms.
Depending on your needs, we may offer:
- A physical examination (with your consent)
- A cervical screening test
- Blood tests or imaging referrals
- Prescriptions
- Referrals to other health professionals if required
Cervical Screening in Jerrabomberra
A cervical screening test is a simple test that helps prevent cervical cancer.
We recommend screening every five years for most women aged 25 to 74.
The test is quick, and our GPs are trained to make you feel at ease.
If you feel anxious, let us know. We can go slowly or reschedule. No pressure.
Contraception Advice at The Surgery at Jerra
Choosing the right contraception can feel confusing.
We offer contraception appointments to explain:
- The pill and mini pill
- Long-acting contraception such as Implanon and Mirena
- Emergency contraception
We help you find what works for your body and your lifestyle.
Menopause and Perimenopause Management
Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages of life, but symptoms can be challenging.
We provide support and management, including:
- Advice on hot flushes, sleep, and mood changes
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) information
- Non-hormonal treatment options
- Bone health and heart health assessments
- Support for low libido and sexual wellbeing concerns
You do not have to struggle alone. Small changes can make a big difference.
Mental Health Support for Women
Hormonal changes can affect your mental health.
Pregnancy, the postnatal period, perimenopause, and menopause can all play a role.
If you are feeling low, anxious, or overwhelmed, have a confidential chat with one of our GPs.
We can create a Mental Health Care Plan to help you access support from a psychologist or counsellor.
Asking for help is a sign of strength.
Annual Health Checks for Women
An annual health check is a good way to stay on top of your health, even when you feel well.
We can review:
- Blood pressure and heart health
- Breast health
- Cervical screening (if due)
- Bone health
- Mental wellbeing
- Lifestyle factors that affect long-term health
Prevention is always better than treatment.
