Health needs change across life. Regular conversations with a healthcare professional help you stay on top of what matters at each stage.
Topics worth discussing
- Reproductive and sexual health, including contraception, fertility and menopause.
- Screening programs available in your country.
- Heart health, since cardiovascular disease affects women and symptoms can differ.
- Bone health, especially around and after menopause.
- Mental health, including mood changes around pregnancy and hormonal changes.
