As a woman moves through life, her body undergoes many changes, and so do her healthcare needs. From navigating menstrual symptoms and fertility, to managing menopause and beyond, each stage brings unique challenges and opportunities. At Toowoomba Obstetrics and Gynaecology (TOAG), Gynaecologist Dr Lanziz Homar provides expert care, tailored to women of all ages, helping them feel supported and informed every step of the way.
In Your 20s: Laying the Foundation
Your 20s are a time of major transitions, including hormonal shifts, career growth, and often, the first gynaecological check-ups. Common concerns at this stage include irregular periods, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) , and contraception.
- Schedule regular cervical screening tests (CST)
- Monitor for symptoms of such as acne, weight changes, or missed periods
- Discuss long-term contraceptive options with your gynaecologist
This decade is also the time to start building a relationship with a qualified provider like Dr Lanziz Homar, who can guide you through preventative care and early detection of conditions.
In Your 30s: Fertility and Family Planning
Many women begin thinking about pregnancy in their 30s. This decade may bring fertility questions or challenges. Fertility Toowoomba services, including assessments and planning, are available through TOAG.
- Begin pre-pregnancy counselling if you are planning to conceive
- Be aware of early signs of endometriosis, a common condition that can affect fertility
- Explore whether you are eligible for bulk billed IVF options if you’re facing challenges
This is also a decade to stay vigilant about breast health, sexual wellness, and mental wellbeing, all of which are essential parts of holistic care.
In Your 40s: Hormonal Changes and Symptom Management
Your 40s often bring perimenopause, irregular cycles, and new symptoms such as mood changes or hot flushes. It’s also a time when underlying conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or prolapse may become more noticeable.
- Monitor and manage heavy periods, fibroids, or pelvic pain
- Consider whether a hysterectomy might be a suitable treatment for persistent issues
- Maintain a regular schedule of cervical, breast, and general health screenings
TOAG offers comprehensive treatments tailored to these changing needs, with both non-surgical and surgical options available.
In Your 50s and Beyond: Menopause and Post-Reproductive Health
Menopause marks the end of menstruation and the beginning of a new chapter. With the support of a compassionate gynaecologist, women can manage this phase with confidence.
- Address symptoms of menopause like vaginal dryness, sleep disruption, and bone health
- Get screened for pelvic organ prolapse, especially if you've had children or previous pelvic surgeries
- Discuss prolapse surgery if symptoms continually impact daily life
TOAG supports women well into their post-reproductive years, offering continuity of care and advanced options like gynaecology surgery for ongoing issues.
