Tired, gaining weight or feeling low?

Thyroid problems are common in women and often overlooked.

Symptoms may include:
• Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
• Hair thinning
• Persistent fatigue
• Puffiness
• Feeling slowed down mentally
• Fast or slow pulse rate

Thyroid dysfunction can affect energy, mood, fertility, and heart health.

This March, consider a Women’s Wellness screen, which may include:
• Thyroid function
• Iron levels
• Glucose
• Cholesterol
• Vitamin D

A simple blood test can provide clarity and direction.

Hot flushes, mood swings or poor sleep?

If you are in your late thirties or forties and noticing changes, you are not imagining it.

Common signs of perimenopause include:
• Hot flushes
• Night sweats
• Mood changes
• Irregular periods
• Difficulty sleeping

Hormonal shifts can begin earlier than expected. You do not have to simply ‘push through’.

At Rousmed, we offer personalised assessments and practical support to help you manage this stage confidently and comfortably.

Let us help you understand what your body is telling you.

Are your periods draining your energy?

Heavy periods are often dismissed as ‘just normal’. They are not always normal.

If you experience:
• Soaking pads hourly
• Passing large clots
• Constant fatigue
• Dizziness or shortness of breath

You may be iron deficient.

Many young women live with low iron for years without realising it. A simple blood test can make a significant difference.

March is Women’s Health Month at Rousmed. We are also offering guidance on family planning, contraception choices, and cycle health for young women who want to take control of their future.

Book your iron check or family planning consultation this week.

Although the year has begun, summer conditions remain intense throughout February.

Staying well includes adequate hydration, balanced meals, careful sun exposure, and taking medication exactly as prescribed.

If you are experiencing unusual fatigue, dizziness, headaches, or ongoing discomfort, a consultation at Rousmed can help identify and address the cause early.

Chronic conditions require ongoing care, not only attention when symptoms flare up.

If you are managing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, HIV, or thyroid-related conditions, a routine February review helps ensure your treatment remains effective and appropriate.

Regular monitoring supports long-term health and reduces the risk of complications later in the year.

December can be emotionally draining — and many people start January feeling flat, anxious or overwhelmed.

If you’re struggling with:
• Low mood

You’re not alone.
At Rousmed, we offer a safe space to talk and find the right support for your mental wellbeing.

It’s okay to ask for help — it’s a new year, not a race 💚
