It is more than just a sense of tiredness; fatigue has wide-ranging effects that can significantly impact a woman’s daily life and emotional well-being. Read the article below to learn about the multifaceted causes and symptoms of fatigue in women, and how targeted pathology tests can help identify any underlying medical conditions that may be responsible. #Fatigue #WomenHealth #IronDeficiency #MentalHealth #EmotionalWellbeing #HealthEducation #Healthcare #Pathology

It’s important that we act now to ensure that pathology services remain bulk-billed. Without this support, many vulnerable Australians, including pensioners and those experiencing financial hardship, will struggle to afford essential pathology tests. Click the link in the post below to learn more about how you can help.
Do you rely on bulk billed pathology? 14 million Australians claim Medicare pathology rebates each year. Since funding for rebates was frozen in 1999, pathology providers have been filling the funding gap to keep services running as costs go up. We need your help to keep pathology tests, like blood tests, bulk billed. Share with your friends and family who need pathology tests. Visit the website to email your MP direct. These are the real words of real Australians. To protect privacy, these are not their real faces. https://lnkd.in/gM9SGrkP

Untreated chlamydia can cause infertility... It is estimated up to 36,000 Australian women aged between 15-29 currently have untreated chlamydia. Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria. It can affect both men and women and often doesn't show immediate symptoms. Testing is key! A simple urine or swab test can detect it. If positive, don't worry - it's treatable with antibiotics. Act now. Get tested. #sexualhealth #chlamydia #pathology #privatepathology

Most sexually transmitted infections (STI's) in Australia remain undiagnosed and untreated. If you are sexually active, it's important to get tested for STI's at least once a year. Initially most STI's have no symptoms, which makes testing even more important. Don't delay. Contact your GP today. Act now. Get tested.
