Do you regularly check your skin for changes? Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world. The sooner a skin cancer is identified and treated, the better your chance of avoiding surgery or, in the case of a serious melanoma or other skin cancer, potential disfigurement or even death. The ABCD melanoma guide is useful for regularly checking your skin for new spots or changes to existing moles and freckles. If you notice any changes or have any concerns, please consult your doctor for a skin check.

Did you know that 50% of women diagnosed with breast cancer are aged 50-69. This is the reason why a breast screen once every two years is recommended for women in this age group. While breast screening is recommended for women aged 50-74, women in their 40s and over 74 are encouraged to discuss the benefits and risks of screening in the context of their individual health needs with their doctor. Regular breast screens are the best way to find breast cancer early, before any symptoms are noticed and when treatment is likely to be most successful. If you are unsure about your risk of breast cancer or whether breast screening should be a priority for you, we recommend that you book an appointment with one of our doctors at Wyperfeld Medical Clinic. We also have female doctors available. Call us today, on 03 9390 2400 or book your appointment online https://healthengine.com.au/medical-centre/vic/taylors-lakes/wyperfeld-medical-clinic/s27649

Hayfever sufferers warned of worst season in years

Hayfever sufferers are warned that this year's hayfever season is expected to be the worst in years. We've had a particularly wet and rainy winter, that has produced lots of grass and plant growth. This means that there will be more pollen in the air in the coming months and hayfever symptoms are expected to worsen in October and November. About 1 in 8 Australians suffer from hayfever. A number of oral medications, nasal sprays and eye drops to treat hay fever are available over the counter at pharmacies. If you suffer from regular hay fever symptoms and medications don’t seem to be working, please talk to your doctor. They can help guide you to the safest and most effective treatment option.
