Constipation is when you have difficulty passing bowel movements (pooing) or less frequent bowel movements than normal.

Constipation can be caused by not eating enough fibre, strong pain-relief medicines and some medical conditions. Symptoms of constipation include passing hard, lumpy stools and straining (pushing hard) during bowel movements.

See your doctor if you have severe constipation or constipation that is not getting better with simple lifestyle changes.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women in Australia. About one woman in every 8 is diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 85. But many more women in Australia die of heart disease and stroke compared with breast cancer.

See your doctor if you are concerned about changes in your breasts or ni***es.

A healthy lunch box full of fresh food gives your child energy to play, concentrate and learn all day.

What you put in your child’s lunch box depends on your child’s age. And how much you put in your child’s lunch box depends on your child’s appetite and the length of your child’s day.

For example, children who go to child care, preschool or school for 6 hours a day might need to bring food for morning tea and lunch. Children who go for longer periods might also need afternoon tea.

It’s also a good idea to pack a bottle with tap water for your child to drink and refill. Fruit juice and soft drinks are high in sugar and aren’t recommended for children. They can lead to tooth decay and other health problems.

Getting your child involved in choosing, preparing and packing their own lunch will make them more likely to eat it.

Contact dermatitis is a common red and itchy rash that happens when your skin touches an irritant or allergen. It is caused by either allergens (such as plants or rubber) or irritants (such as certain soaps, chemicals or even water).

What are the symptoms of contact dermatitis?

Contact dermatitis leads to itchy and dry skin. You may also notice a red rash or a severe weeping or blistering rash. The symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the type and duration of exposure.

Do you know what measles rash looks like? Measles looks red or brown on white skin, but it may be harder to see on brown and black skin. The rash can be slightly raised and appear blotchy. It usually starts on the hairline and spreads over the entire body. Measles is not itchy.

Measles is rare in Australia but it can be very serious, leading to complications in up to one third of people, such as pneumonia (lung infection) and encephalitis (brain infection).

If you suspect you, or someone in your family, may have measles, call your doctor before you visit their clinic.

Regardless of age, and even for women who attend regular mammogram screenings, staying familiar with your breasts remains important.

There's no need for formal training or a set method to do this. Simply pay attention during routine moments, such as showering, getting dressed, applying lotion or catching your reflection in the mirror. Becoming familiar with your own normal appearance and texture makes it easier to notice any changes in your breasts or ni***es should they occur.

Bowel cancer, also known as colore**al cancer, colon cancer or re**al cancer, develops from the inner lining of the bowel. It is usually preceded by growths called polyps, which may become invasive cancer if undetected. Depending on where the cancer begins, bowel cancer may be called colon or re**al cancer.

Risk factors for bowel cancer include older age, drinking alcohol, smoking, not doing enough physical activity, family history, as well as some medical conditions.

All Australians aged between 45 and 74 years are eligible for bowel cancer screening, but if you have risk factors, or symptoms such as blood in your poo, speak to your doctor.

Menopause is when you have your final menstrual period. It typically occurs between the ages 45 and 55 in Australia.

Perimenopause is the time leading up to and just after menopause. If you have menopausal symptoms, they will likely start in perimenopause.

Postmenopause is the rest of your life after menopause. Some people will have menopausal symptoms that continue into postmenopause.

Common menopausal symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, and vulval and vaginal problems. Menopause might also affect other things like sleep, mental health, s*x drive, memory and concentration.

Work-life balance refers to the juggle between the demands of work and your home and family life. If you struggle with work-life balance, you might find that you are often rushing. You might be feeling overwhelmed when trying to manage different commitments. This can leave you feeling like you are not doing any tasks well.

It's important to prioritise your wellbeing. There is more to life than paid work or chores. Without fun or 'play' your wellbeing will suffer.
