Women who experience severe or complex menopause symptoms will benefit from enhanced support, with the opening of a new menopause referral site in the Murrumbidgee at Wagga Wagga.
The Murrumbidgee Local Health District's (MLHD) Menopause Service is part of NSW Health's extensive menopause network, which includes four health hubs and multiple referral sites throughout the state.
As a part of this network, the Wagga Wagga-based service is designed to assist women whose menopause symptoms have not responded to previous treatments, or who face additional complications from other medical conditions.
MLHD's Menopause Service is linked to the South Western Sydney LHD Menopause Hub, which means women can access a comprehensive approach to managing severe menopausal symptoms through a multi-disciplinary team of medical specialists and allied health professionals, including women's health nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, and clinical psychologists.
