With every life stage comes a new concern when it comes to women’s health. In your teens, it’s menstruation and sexual health, and by the time you finally feel on top of that, you’re 40 and menopause is well and truly on its way – and so are all the health challenges that come with it.
And, while we love the idea of a magic potion to fix us, the trick to staying on top of your health at every life stage lies in tailoring your approach.
Here, TerryWhite Chemmart Clyde’s Chief Pharmacist, Carolyn Wynen, answers your questions about how to simplify your health journey regardless of your age.
How do I know what to prioritise now?
A woman’s health is like a book – each chapter is different.
As we move into our forties and fifties, menopause, bone health and pain management take centre stage, requiring a different approach to wellness from our earlier years.
Maternal health may have been front of mind a decade or two ago, while contraception and sexual health may have been more top of mind in your twenties.
Your body’s needs are constantly evolving – and TerryWhite Chemmart us there to help navigate your transitions with confidence.
I’m often looking after my daughter’s health and my parents’, too. How can I help them all without feeling overwhelmed?
Women are often the ‘chief health officers’ of the family!
Your daughter might need a friendly, discreet chat about sexual health, including STI prevention and hormonal contraception, while your parents might be looking for advice on shingles vaccinations or managing new aches and pains.
Whether it’s a young adult or someone in their seventies, the health advice and support is tailored to them – and you can find it all under one roof.
I’m in my forties and menopause feels like a bit of a minefield. How do I know what’s worth trying?
Menopause is incredibly personal – and with dozens of possible symptoms, it can be overwhelming.
To make it easier, keep an eye out for the MTick® while you’re shopping in-store or online. It’s a symbol that highlights products rigorously assessed for menopause support.
It’s our way of helping you cut through the noise and find what works for your unique experience.
