R U OK? Day | 10 September 💛

Starting a conversation about how you’re really feeling isn’t always easy.

For some people, it might be easier to keep things to themselves because they don't know how to explain what’s going on. But you don’t have to have everything figured out before asking for help.

Whether you’re dealing with an ongoing health concern, changes in your wellbeing, or simply feel like something isn’t quite right, talking with your GP can be a place to start.

R U OK? Day is also a reminder that listening to someone can make a difference. Sometimes, simply asking, listening without judgement, and letting someone know they don’t have to face things alone can be an important first step.

And if you’re the one who’s finding things difficult, it’s okay to reach out, too. Your feelings are valid and we’re here to listen.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

With Father's Day this weekend, it's a timely reminder that one of the best gifts you can give the men in your life is encouragement to look after their health.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men, with more than 25,000 Australian men diagnosed each year.

One of the challenges with prostate cancer is that it often has no symptoms in its early stages, which is why understanding your risk and having a conversation with your GP is so important.

As men get older, particularly from age 50 onwards, the risk increases. If you have a father, brother or other close family member who has had prostate cancer, your risk may be higher, and it may be appropriate to start the conversation earlier.

While prostate cancer may not cause symptoms early on, some men may experience:
• Needing to urinate more often
• Difficulty starting or maintaining urine flow
• Trouble emptying the bladder completely

If you notice any of these changes, it's important to book an appointment with your GP.

This September, whether it's for yourself, your dad, your partner, your brother or a mate, take a moment to start the conversation about prostate health. Your GP can discuss your individual risk factors and whether a blood test or further assessment is appropriate for you.

To book an appointment with a GP at Kardinia Health, call (03) 5202 9333 or visit www.kardiniahealth.com.au

Spring is here 🌼 and for many people, so is hay fever.

Hay fever can cause more than just sneezing. Common symptoms may include itchy or watery eyes, a runny nose, and an itchy throat. For some people, these symptoms can start to affect everyday life, particularly sleep, concentration, energy levels, respiratory system and for some people it may strain your core and back muscles.

The good thing is, there are ways to manage symptoms, and speaking with your GP can help you understand what may be contributing to them and what options may be suitable for you.

Learn more about hay fever, its symptoms and ways to manage it through our most recent blog 👇

Wear It Purple Day 💜

Today is a reminder that inclusion is about more than the colour we wear. It is how we treat one another every day, with kindness, respect and compassion.

For many LGBTQIA+ young people, knowing that they are accepted can make a real difference to their confidence, wellbeing and mental health. Sometimes, all it takes is a kind conversation, a simple check-in or letting someone know they belong 🫂

At Kardinia Health, we celebrate diversity and aim to provide a safe and inclusive place for all. We’re here to listen without judgment while delivering the care you deserve.

Strong bones do more than reduce the risk of fractures. They help support your mobility, independence and ability to keep doing the things you enjoy. 🦴

Did you know there are three types of exercise that can play an important role in supporting bone health?

✔️ Weight-bearing exercise
✔️ Resistance training
✔️ Balance training

Together, these forms of exercise may help maintain bone strength, improve balance and support healthy ageing.

In our latest blog, our physiotherapy team explains:
• Why bone density matters
• Who may be at greater risk of bone loss
• The types of exercise that can help support healthy bones

Winter fatigue can leave you feeling tired, no matter how much sleep you get. 😴

If your iron levels are low, you may experience ongoing tiredness, brain fog, reduced concentration or simply feel unlike yourself.

For people with iron deficiency, an iron infusion can restore iron levels more quickly than oral supplements and may help improve symptoms.

If you're experiencing persistent fatigue or think you may have low iron, speak with our team at Kardinia Health. We offer iron infusions for existing patients and members of the Geelong community, following assessment by one of our doctors to determine whether an iron infusion is the right treatment for you.

Bookings are available online or by calling our clinic on (03) 5202 9333.

When you see the same GP regularly, they get to know more than just your medical history. They understand your health goals, your concerns, and the treatments you need over time 🩺

That's why we believe the best care is built on trust. From your first check-up, our dedicated GPs provide compassionate care every step of the way.

Whether you need preventive care or support managing a chronic condition, we're ready to help. Call our team directly at (03) 5202 9333 to make an appointment.

Is your phone keeping you awake? 📱😴

While stress and a busy mind can make it difficult to fall asleep, your evening screen time could also be playing a role. Scrolling before bed and exposure to blue light may make it harder for your brain to wind down, even when you're feeling tired.

If you're regularly struggling with your sleep, it may be worth speaking with your GP. Together, we can explore what's affecting your sleep and discuss practical strategies to help you get the rest you need.

Cold days can be especially challenging for people with asthma. Cold, dry air, indoor heating, smoke from the fireplace, and an increase in cold and flu viruses can trigger symptoms 🦠

If you're reaching for your reliever inhaler more often, waking up with a cough, or feeling more short of breath than usual, it may be time to review your asthma management plan.

Speak with one of our GPs at Kardinia Health to make sure your asthma is well controlled, and your treatment plan is still working for you this winter.

Book an appointment online or call our team directly on (03) 5202 9333.
