June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a vital time to talk about Australia’s second deadliest cancer.

The good news? Bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early. Yet many people delay testing, often because symptoms are mild, or they feel fine.

At Booragoon Medical, we’re encouraging all eligible patients to:
✅ Complete your free bowel cancer screening test (ages 50–74)
✅ Book a GP appointment if you have symptoms like blood in your stool, persistent changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss or abdominal discomfort
✅ Talk to your doctor if you have a family history of bowel cancer

Bowel cancer doesn’t always show symptoms early. Screening saves lives.

🩺 Need to book a screening or have concerns? Our GPs are here to help.

It’s Men’s Health Week! 💙

This week marks the annual Men’s Health Week, a global campaign raising awareness about the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of boys and men.

The 2025 theme, “See a GP", shines a spotlight on the importance of seeking medical advice when something doesn’t feel right.

With 3 in 4 men avoiding the doctor even when they have a health concern, this year’s message is clear: don’t wait. It’s always better to check in early than risk leaving it too late.

At Booragoon Medical, we’re proud to have doctors with a special interest in Men’s Health, offering support without judgement.
