HPV is more common than most people think, and often, it clears without symptoms. Here are the facts in Australia:

〰️ Around 85% of people who have ever been sexually active will get HPV at some stage.
〰️ Most infections are harmless and are cleared by the immune system within 1‑2 years.
〰️ Some HPV types are “high‑risk”. If infection persists, they can lead to cervical pre‑cancer or cancer.

That’s why HPV vaccination (before exposure) and regular cervical screening (every 5 years for people aged 25‑74 with a cervix) are so important, even if you feel fine.

At Create Health, we offer expert, judgement‑free care. Let’s keep your health on track, together 💗

This Menopause Awareness Month, remember that symptoms often begin in the mid-40s and can last 6–8 years. Unfortunately, many women don’t realise what they’re experiencing is perimenopause and think something else may be wrong.

Luckily, with awareness comes the chance to seek help sooner. And with the right support and treatments, many women can start to feel like themselves again ✨

Our Create team of specialists and surgeons spent their Saturday sharing their skills and expertise at the Registrar Advanced Surgical Skills Workshop✨

Surgical teaching is a big part of our Create culture, passing on knowledge on minimally invasive reproductive surgery, because when we teach the next generation of surgeons, we all move forward together.

Our Create specialists regularly teaches our AGES fellow, registrars in the advanced laparoscopy training pathway (ATP). They also continue to learn from each other by regularly holding clinical meetings for complex cases, and assisting each other.

Every skill shared today means better outcomes for future patients, and that’s what drives us 💕

It’s Women’s Health Week, the perfect reminder to always be your own health hero 💪

Advocating for yourself means being actively involved in your care and making your voice heard.
Here are five simple ways to step into your power this week (and every week):

✨ Ask questions so you feel confident
✨ Track and share your symptoms
✨ Seek clarity if you need reassurance
✨ Write notes during your appointments
✨ Stay proactive with regular check-ups

Your cycle is more than just your period, it’s a window into your health 🙌

Changes in timing, pain or flow can be early signs of hormonal issues, stress or underlying conditions like PCOS or endometriosis.

You don’t need to track obsessively, but noticing patterns with a simple app, diary or even by charting your temperature or cervical mucus can help you catch issues early.

Pain that stops you, bleeding that’s heavy or irregular or cycles that change suddenly?
They’re not just ‘part of being a woman’, they’re worth checking out! 💜

Still being told your period pain is normal?

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 Australian women and those assigned female at birth. Delays in diagnosis are still far too common (average of 6–8 years) 💔

You know your body. If something feels off, you deserve to be heard. Ask your GP for a referral to a specialist who understands endo.

Save this to take to your next appointment, or send it to a friend who’s still being dismissed.

1 in 10 women have PCOS, yet around 70% go undiagnosed. We’re here to change that. Early detection means better management 💪💙 Some common symptoms to be aware of are:

〰️ Irregular or missed periods
〰️ Excess facial/body hair
〰️ Acne
〰️ Scalp hair thinning
〰️ Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
〰️ Trouble getting pregnant
〰️ Ovarian cysts
〰️ Dark skin patches
〰️ Mood changes (anxiety, depression)

If you’re noticing and are concerned about any of the above, it’s always worth having a chat with your doctor 🫶

We get the appeal. Quick fix, clean slate, new you. But here’s the truth...

🧠 Hormones are part of a complex, finely tuned system. And no juice cleanse or ‘hormone reset’ can magically recalibrate it in 72 hours.

📚 Balancing hormones involves long-term strategies like sleep, stress reduction, nutrition, physical activity and managing underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues.

⚠️ Detoxes may actually do more harm than good, by stressing your body, spiking cortisol and messing with your blood sugar.

Real hormone health isn’t a quick fix, it’s a long game. And you’re worth the slow, sustainable approach 🫶

Did you know your brain actually changes during pregnancy? 🧠💕

Research shows that in late pregnancy, women use the right side of their brain more, especially the areas linked to emotional connection and recognising faces. It’s your brain’s way of preparing you to bond with your baby and tune into their needs from day one.

Pretty amazing, right?

What’s really behind a hot flush? Spoiler: it’s not just the weather.

As oestrogen levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, your body’s internal thermostat starts to misfire, triggering sudden waves of heat, a flushed face and that lovely mid-meeting sweat 🙄

The good news? It’s completely normal and there are treatments that can help. If you are at all concerned about hot flushes and their impact on your daily life, speak to your doctor.
