Services Offered at Our Women’s Health Clinic
At G.M. Graham Pharmacy, our Women’s Health Clinic offers a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of women at every stage of life. Our services include:
Reproductive Health and Contraception
We provide expert advice on various contraceptive methods, helping you choose the most suitable option based on your lifestyle and needs. Our pharmacists can guide you on oral contraceptives, condoms, emergency contraception, and long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as injections and implants.
If you have had unprotected sex or experienced contraceptive failure, our pharmacy offers emergency contraception (the morning-after pill) to prevent unintended pregnancy. Our pharmacists will guide you through the options and ensure you receive timely and effective treatment.
Pregnancy Testing and Support
We provide reliable pregnancy tests and offer advice on the next steps, whether your result is positive or negative. Our pharmacists can discuss your options and refer you to appropriate healthcare providers if needed.
Prenatal Care: For expectant mothers, we offer guidance on prenatal vitamins, nutrition, and general health to support a healthy pregnancy.
Menstrual Health
Menstrual health is a vital aspect of women’s well-being. We provide advice and treatments for managing menstrual pain, irregular periods, and other related concerns.
Our pharmacists can recommend products such as pain relief medications, menstrual cups, and sanitary products that best suit your needs.
Menopause Management
Menopause is a significant transition in a woman’s life that can bring various symptoms and health concerns. Our clinic offers support and treatment options to help manage menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
We provide advice on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and alternative treatments, ensuring you receive personalised care that aligns with your health goals.
Screening and Preventative Care
Early detection and prevention are key to maintaining good health. Our clinic offers screening services for conditions such as cervical cancer, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.
Cervical Screening: Regular cervical screening (smear tests) can help detect abnormal cells in the cervix early, preventing cervical cancer.
Breast Health: We provide education on breast self-examinations and can refer you for mammograms if necessary.
Bone Health: Our pharmacists can offer advice on maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis, including recommendations for calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Sexual Health
Sexual health is an integral part of overall well-being. We offer confidential testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and provide advice on safe sex practices.
