Looking for a long-term, low-maintenance contraception option?

At South Coast Medical in Dromana, Dr Shauna Cheong offers IUD consultations and insertions in a supportive, professional environment 🌿

An IUD is a small device placed in the uterus that can:
• Provide effective, long-term contraception
• Help manage heavy or painful periods
• Be used as part of menopause hormone therapy for some patients

If you’re curious whether an IUD might suit you, Dr Shauna Cheong at the Dromana clinic will take the time to talk things through — including benefits, risks, and other options — so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you.

Get in touch to book a consultation or learn more. Services provided by Dr Shauna Cheong in Dromana and Dr Ciara Flynn in Rye.

October is Menopause month. But let’s be honest, perimenopause and menopause needs to be talked about every month!

Everyone’s menopause experience is different and it’s important to speak with your practitioner about the best way to manage your symptoms.

While night sweats, hot flushes, headaches, mood swings, urinary issues and brain fog can be common symptoms; what one woman experiences may be quite different to others in her age group.

Be sure to get the right advice. Book in for a perimenopause or menopause assessment with your doctor to find out more.
