07.04.2022 Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance. For others, it can be a major problem that interferes with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. This World Asthma Day, we aim to close the gap in asthma care for the 2.7 million Australians who live with asthma. If you experience any symptoms or have asthma, speak to your GP. #WorldAsthmaDay

23.01.2022 It’s a good idea to check in with your GP annually, so there is an understanding of your baseline level of physical health and life situation. From here, you can set some measurable health goals together. This baseline acts as a helpful comparison tool when you return for your next check-up. An annual visit may include check-ups on your blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol to minimise the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks and strokes down the track. It’s important to include a skin check during your annual visit to identify any abnormalities or suspicious moles.

14.01.2022 Let’s face it, a lot of Aussie males would rather bottle up their feelings than share their emotions with their doctor. Just as there’s no shame in getting sick with the flu, there’s no shame in suffering a mental illness either. Statistics from Beyond Blue tell us that one in eight men will experience depression and one in five men will experience anxiety at some stage of their lives but you don’t need to go through it alone. An understanding GP who knows you well can hel...p you navigate through life when the going gets tough. Be open with them about your worries and talk to them about what’s going on in your life and relationships. Often, simply opening up to someone can be enough to give you some relief. Your GP can offer tools to manage your mental health and refer you on to a mental health specialist if the issue is prolonged or worsening.

13.01.2022 The most effective way to remain disease-free is to visit your GP for regular screening tests to detect issues even before you have symptoms. For many chronic illnesses, early detection is more effective than trying to treat it once it’s developed. Depending on your age, weight and health, your doctor may recommend any of the following screening tests for men: A fasting blood sugar test to rule out diabetes Hearing and eyesight tests if you are over 65 or have existing pr...oblems A stool sample test to check for bowel cancer if you are aged 50 and over. A colonoscopy could be recommended for those considered high risk. Full-body skin check Download the Easyvisit app or visit http://ow.ly/ELsL50FgmTJ to book an annual check up with your GP.

10.01.2022 It’s not uncommon for men to avoid visiting their General Practitioner.

Why do you think men are reluctant to see their GP about health concerns?
