Peri-menopause and menopause can cause women to feel emotions & changes in their body that can significantly impact their quality of life. Sadly in medicine & in society we don’t talk as honestly and openly about perimenopause & menopause as much as what we should.

I was very blessed to have the opportunity to discuss this health topic with Women’s Health General Practitioner - Dr Sunita Chelva.

Dr Chelva works as a General GP at Third Ave Surgery and as a Women's Health GP with a special interest in the Perimenopause and Menopause at Woom Women's Health in West Perth.

Sunita is extremely passionate about helping to educate women & clinicians on this area of women’s health as well as, set the record straight about HRT.

To learn more about Dr Chelva simply Google search Dr Sunita Chelvanayagam.

A big thank you to Dr Chelva for sharing her time & knowledge with us on Meditalk.

With summer fast approaching, the thought of having to take off our winter coats to wear bathers can make us feel a little self-conscious about our varicose veins.

There are not only cosmetic reasons why some people may reach out for a specialist opinion from a Vascular / Endovascular Surgeon to discuss options to remove them but, also varicose veins can actually cause people a lot of pain making standing and moving our bodies very uncomfortable.

So today I speak with St John of God Hospital Subiaco, Endovascular & Vascular Surgeon Dr Ponosh to let us know some facts about ‘Varicose Veins’ and he explains the varying options now available to treat them.

A big thank you to Dr Ponosh for taking the time to share his knowledge with us today on Meditalk.

This year during the flu season while we are still battling with COVID have you found yourself asking questions such as;
- How would you know if you are suffering from the flu or from
COVID-19?
- How are these two viruses the same and different?
- Is it safe to have both the flu and COVID vaccination?
- Should women who are pregnant have both vaccinations?
I am hoping by having some of these common questions answered by St John of God Hospital Subiaco, Respiratory and Infectious Diseases specialist Dr Tim Whitmore; may help us all make a well informed decision about rolling up our sleeve.

A big thank you to Dr Whitmore for taking the time to share his knowledge with us today on Meditalk.
