Women’s Health Check
Routine health checks are a vital part of preventive healthcare, helping to identify issues early and maintain optimal wellbeing at every stage of life.
Olika, a Canberra-based women’s health clinic, doctors offer comprehensive Women’s Health Checks tailored to your age, lifestyle, and individual health needs.
Whether you’re due for a routine assessment or have specific concerns, a supportive and personalised approach ensures you feel comfortable, informed, and empowered in managing your health.
What is a Women’s Health Check?
A Women’s Health Check is a comprehensive medical review focusing on key areas of a woman’s reproductive, hormonal, and general health. It’s an opportunity to discuss any symptoms or concerns, screen for early signs of disease, and receive guidance on contraception, fertility, menopause, and more.
Women’s Health Checks are recommended regularly, even if you feel well. Many conditions can develop silently, and early detection allows for better outcomes.
What Does a Women’s Health Check Include?
A standard health check at Olika may involve:
- A detailed medical and family history
- Lifestyle assessment (diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol)
- Blood pressure and BMI measurement
- Breast examination and self-check guidance
- Cervical screening (Pap smear or HPV test, depending on age)
- Pelvic examination (if indicated)
- Contraceptive advice or review
- Menstrual cycle, fertility, or menopause discussion
- Sexual health screening (if needed)
The clinic tailors each appointment to your life stage and goals – from adolescence through to post-menopause.

Menstrual, Fertility, and Hormonal Health
Women’s Health Checks at Olika include a focus on menstrual health, fertility, and hormonal balance. We assess and support the management of conditions such as:
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Irregular periods
- Heavy bleeding (menorrhagia)
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) or PMDD
- Perimenopause and menopause
Many women live with symptoms that affect daily life without seeking help. At Olika, we provide a safe and supportive environment to explore these issues and access effective treatment options.
Sexual and Reproductive Health
A Women’s Health Check is also an ideal time to review your sexual and reproductive health. Olika can assist with:
- Contraceptive counselling and prescriptions (e.g., pill, IUD, Implanon)
- STI screening and prevention
- Pre-pregnancy planning and fertility advice
- Menopause management, including hormone therapy
Mental Health and Wellbeing
Women’s health is more than physical. Health checks also take into account mental and emotional wellbeing, which are often impacted by hormonal changes, life transitions, or chronic health issues.
Olika can screen for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, and provide medical treatments, referrals for counselling or psychology support where needed.
