Menstrual Misery Clinic :: Gold Coast Private Hospital

Menstrual Misery Clinic

A one-stop general gynaecology clinic specialising in the investigation and treatment of abnormal/ heavy/frequent menstrual bleeding supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary team.

More than one in three women experience heavy, painful and irregular bleeding that can devastate a woman’s physical, emotional and social quality of life. To avoid repeated visits to the doctor and lengthy waiting times for investigations, these women can be referred to the Gold Coast’s first dedicated ‘Menstrual Misery Clinic’, led by Dr Graeme Walker and his multidisciplinary team. Dr Walker and Dr Anna Alderton set up the first dedicated innovative Menstrual Misery Clinic at the GCUH 5 years ago.

"The aim of this clinic is to sensitively and effectively investigate, diagnose and treat these problems quickly in order to restore quality of life."

Patient appointments include:

Full spectrum of medical or surgical management of heavy and/or painful menstrual periods as appropriate, in line with patient choice.

On-site iron infusions
Patient-led videos regarding treatment options and processes
On-site radiology and pathology
Medical management including:
◦ Progesterone IUCD

Surgical management including:
