When was your last s*xual health check? If you can’t remember, you’re not alone. Many people put off STI testing because they feel embarrassed, worried about what the test might involve, or simply assume that no symptoms means everything is fine.

But many s*xually transmissible infections (STIs) don’t cause noticeable symptoms. You can feel completely well and still have an infection that can be detected with a simple test. Regular STI testing is a normal part of looking after your health. Depending on your circumstances, testing may involve a urine sample, swab or blood test. Your GP can talk you through what’s appropriate for you and answer any questions in a confidential, non-judgemental environment.

If you’re s*xually active, have a new partner, have had unprotected s*x, or it’s been a while since your last check, consider making an appointment with your GP at Hanover Street Medical Centre in Oakleigh. If you have symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain when urinating, sores or unexplained changes, don’t wait to seek advice.

Your s*xual health is part of your overall health. There’s nothing awkward about asking questions, and there’s nothing embarrassing about getting tested.

Book an appointment by calling our Oakleigh clinic on 9568 7377 or online at Hot Doc today for a confidential s*xual health check *xualhealth

Asthma Action Plans: Be Prepared and Stay in Control
Living with asthma can sometimes feel unpredictable. Symptoms can change from day to day, and an asthma flare-up can happen when you least expect it. That’s why having a written Asthma Action Plan is an important part of managing asthma.

What Is an Asthma Action Plan?
An Asthma Action Plan is a personalised plan developed with your doctor to help you manage your asthma. It can outline:
Your usual asthma symptoms and triggers
Which medications to take and when
What to do if your asthma symptoms get worse
When to seek urgent medical attention
Important information for family members, carers or others who may need to help you

Your plan is designed specifically for you, so you know what steps to take whether your asthma is well controlled or your symptoms are starting to worsen.

Why Is an Asthma Action Plan Important?
Asthma symptoms can vary, and it isn't always easy to know when you need to take action. Having a written plan can give you a clear step-by-step guide to follow. It can also help you recognise worsening symptoms earlier and understand when you need to contact your healthcare professional. Your Asthma Action Plan should be reviewed regularly, particularly if your symptoms, medications or circumstances change.

Who Should Have an Asthma Action Plan?
Anyone living with asthma can benefit from having a current Asthma Action Plan, including children and adults.

Is Your Asthma Action Plan Up to Date?
If you have asthma, ask yourself:
Do I know exactly what to do if my symptoms get worse?
If you're unsure, your Asthma Action Plan may need to be reviewed.
Your GP at Hanover Street Medical Centre can assess your asthma control, review your medications and work with you to develop or update a personalised action plan.

Take Control of Your Asthma
Don't wait until you're struggling to breathe before reviewing your asthma management.
Book an appointment with your GP at Hanover Street Medical Centre to review, create or update your Asthma Action Plan.
A few minutes of preparation today can help you feel more confident about managing your asthma tomorrow. Book your asthma review with our team today

Hay Fever in Spring: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment
Spring is here and so is hay fever!

For many Australians, spring means sunshine, flowers and warmer days. But for people with hay fever, spring can also bring sneezing, itchy eyes, a runny or blocked nose and poor sleep.

Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is very common in Australia. Around 6.1 million Australians (almost 1 in 4 people had allergic rhinitis in 2022, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. This has increased from around 16% in 2001.
So What Is Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis)?

Hay fever is an allergic reaction to substances in the air. During spring, grass, tree and w**d pollen are common triggers.
When you breathe in pollen, your immune system can mistake it for something harmful and release chemicals that cause allergy symptoms.

What Causes Hay Fever in Spring?
Pollen is one of the most common causes of spring allergies. Depending on where you live and the time of year, pollen from grasses, trees and w**ds can trigger symptoms.
Hot, windy days can make pollen easier to spread through the air, potentially making symptoms worse for people with pollen allergies.

What Are the Common Symptoms of Hay Fever?
Hay fever symptoms can range from mild to troublesome and may include:
Frequent sneezing
Runny, blocked or itchy nose
Red, itchy or watery eyes
An itchy throat or cough
Tiredness and disrupted sleep

For some people, hay fever can affect sleep, concentration, work, school, exercise and overall quality of life. Pollen can also trigger or worsen asthma symptoms in some people.

How Common Is Hay Fever in Australia?
Hay fever is one of the most common allergic conditions in Australia. The number of Australians experiencing allergic rhinitis has increased substantially over the past two decades.
With millions of Australians affected, knowing how to recognise hay fever symptoms and manage them can help you enjoy spring with fewer interruptions.

How to Reduce Hay Fever Symptoms
You don't have to spend spring hiding indoors! There are several simple ways to reduce your exposure to pollen:
1. Check the pollen forecast: On days when pollen levels are high, consider limiting outdoor activities where possible.
2. Keep windows and doors closed: This can help reduce pollen entering your home, particularly when pollen levels are high.
3. Shower after being outdoors: Showering, washing your hair and changing your clothes can help remove pollen.
4. Protect your eyes: Wearing sunglasses outdoors may help reduce pollen exposure and irritation.
5. Keep your home clean: Regular cleaning can help reduce allergens that may accumulate indoors.

What Is the Best Treatment for Hay Fever?
The best hay fever treatment depends on your symptoms and individual circumstances.

Treatment options may include antihistamines, steroid nasal sprays and eye drops. Your GP can help you determine which option may be most suitable for you.
If you experience hay fever regularly, starting treatment before symptoms become severe may help you manage them more effectively.

When Should You See a Doctor About Hay Fever?
If your hay fever symptoms are affecting your sleep, work, school, exercise or quality of life, book an appointment with your GP.
You should also seek medical advice if you're unsure whether your symptoms are caused by hay fever, or if you experience wheezing, shortness of breath or worsening asthma symptoms.

Enjoy Spring Without Hay Fever Getting in the Way
Spring allergies don't have to stop you from enjoying the warmer weather. With the right prevention strategies and hay fever treatment, you can take control of your symptoms and get back to enjoying the season.

Spring brings warmer weather and beautiful blooms, but for some people, thunderstorms can trigger a serious asthma flare-up.
Thunderstorm asthma can occur when thunderstorms break pollen and grass particles into tiny airborne particles that are easily inhaled deep into the lungs. This can cause sudden coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing, particularly in people with asthma, hay fever or pollen allergies. Even those that have not been diagnosed with asthma may experience symptoms and require medical attention.

How can you reduce your risk?
1. Check pollen and thunderstorm forecasts, particularly on high-pollen days.
2. Stay indoors with windows and doors closed when thunderstorms are approaching.
3. Have your asthma reliever available and follow your asthma action plan.

If you experience hay fever, manage your symptoms and speak with your doctor at Hanover Street Medical Centre about appropriate treatment.

Don’t ignore breathing difficulties. Seek urgent medical attention if symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening.

If you have asthma or significant allergies, spring is a good time to review your symptoms and asthma action plan with your GP, so book in an apointment at our clinic in Oakleigh, Hanover Street Medical Centre on 9568 7377 today.

Your health matters. Stay informed, prepare early and breathe easier this spring.

National Stroke Week is an important reminder that knowing the signs of stroke and acting quickly can make a life-changing difference. A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, and every second counts when it comes to getting urgent medical care.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, which can lead to brain injury and long-term health impacts. Recognising the warning signs early is key. Remember F.A.S.T.:
Face: Has their face drooped?
Arms: Can they lift both arms?
Speech: Is their speech difficult to understand?
Time: If you notice any of these signs, call emergency services immediately.

At Hanover Street Medical Centre, we are committed to supporting our community through prevention, early detection, and ongoing health care. Regular health checks, managing blood pressure, staying active, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and understanding your personal risk factors can all help reduce the risk of stroke.
This National Stroke Week, take action for yourself and your loved ones. Book a health check with our team, discuss your stroke risk factors, and make sure your family and friends know the F.A.S.T. signs.

Don’t wait for a warning sign — prevention and awareness save lives. Contact Hanover Street Medical Centre on 9568 7377 today to schedule your health assessment. You can also book on Hot Doc 24/7

National Pain Week is an important opportunity to recognise the millions of Australians living with pain and to raise awareness about the impact pain can have on everyday life.

Pain is more than just a physical sensation — it can affect sleep, mood, relationships, work, and overall wellbeing. While acute pain can be a helpful warning sign that something needs attention, ongoing or chronic pain can be complex and may require a personalised approach to management.

At Hanover Street Medical Centres, we believe that every person’s experience of pain is unique. Effective pain management often involves understanding the underlying causes, setting realistic goals, and working together with your healthcare team to improve quality of life.

There are many strategies that may help manage pain, including:

Staying physically active with appropriate movement and exercise
Maintaining healthy sleep habits
Managing stress and emotional wellbeing
Using medications safely and as directed
Exploring therapies and treatment options suited to your individual needs

If you are living with persistent pain, you don’t have to manage it alone. Speaking with your GP is an important first step in creating a care plan that considers your symptoms, lifestyle, and personal goals.

During National Pain Week, we encourage our community to start conversations about pain, seek support when needed, and remember that better pain management begins with understanding and connection.

Book an appointment with our medical team today to discuss your pain concerns and explore support options that are right for you. Hanover Streeet MC in Oakleigh 9568 7377 or book online through Hot Doc
