At Soleil Health Medical Centre in Cottesloe, our experienced general practitioners are here to support your wellbeing, not just when you are unwell but throughout every stage of life. Regular health checks play a vital role in prevention, early detection and giving you peace of mind. But how do you know when it is time to see your GP?
Here are five signs that it might be time to book a health check with your GP in Perth.
- You feel constantly tired or low on energy
If you are feeling unusually tired despite getting enough rest, it could be a sign of something more than just a busy lifestyle. Persistent fatigue can be linked to a range of issues including iron deficiency, thyroid problems, sleep concerns or mental health challenges. A general health check can help uncover the cause and guide you toward personalised support.
- You have not had a check-up in over a year
Even if you feel well, it is important to stay on top of your health with regular check-ups. Your GP can assess your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, mental wellbeing and lifestyle habits. These checks are especially valuable for catching any silent issues early. At Soleil Health, our GPs provide comprehensive assessments tailored to your needs and age group.
- You have noticed changes in your skin
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, so it is important to pay attention to changes in your skin. If you have spotted new moles or freckles, changes in size or colour, or any lesions that look unusual, it is time for a skin check. Dr Faheem Afzal runs our dedicated skin cancer clinic in Cottesloe and is passionate about early detection and prevention.
- You have concerns about your reproductive or hormonal health
Whether it is irregular periods, pelvic pain, menopause symptoms or questions about contraception, it is important to speak with a GP who understands women’s health. Dr Dhanya Janardhanan has a special interest in women’s and sexual health and offers compassionate, expert care in a calm and confidential environment. Our clinic also offers pelvic health physiotherapy, gynaecology and other women’s health services to support your needs.
- You are managing a chronic condition or experiencing new symptoms
If you have asthma, diabetes, heart disease or another ongoing condition, regular health reviews are essential. And if you are noticing new symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or unusual weight changes, it is best to book in with your GP. Our team can assist with care plans, referrals and onsite services like pathology and bulk billed cardiac testing.
