Hormonal Health Assessment (Men's & Women's)

Dedicated men's and women's hormonal health services at Cottesloe Medical Centre, covering testosterone assessment, menopause management, HRT, thyroid function, and adrenal health. GPs order a tailored hormonal pathology panel via co-located Clinipath, review results in a follow-up consultation, and develop personalised treatment plans including lifestyle modifications, supplementation, or hormone replacement where clinically appropriate.

Cottesloe Medical Centre provides comprehensive men's and women's health programs that explicitly encompass hormonal health management — a growing component of preventive and longevity medicine for patients in Cottesloe and across Perth's inner-western suburbs in Western Australia. For women, the clinic's GPs are experienced in managing the full spectrum of female hormonal health across life stages: perimenopause and menopause assessment and management (including hormone replacement therapy with oestrogen and progesterone — both systemic and topical formulations), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) evaluation and management, thyroid health screening (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are significantly more prevalent in women), fertility hormone assessment (FSH, LH, AMH, oestradiol), and post-pill hormonal recovery support. For men, the clinic offers testosterone assessment and management for symptoms of androgen deficiency (fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, body composition shifts), including blood testing for total and free testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), LH, FSH, prolactin, and PSA, with clinical review and management options including lifestyle optimisation, supplementation, or testosterone replacement therapy where clinically indicated under Australian TGA prescribing guidelines. The pathway at Cottesloe Medical Centre begins with a GP consultation reviewing symptoms and relevant history, followed by a targeted hormonal pathology panel ordered via the co-located Clinipath service at the same address for same-visit blood collection. Results are reviewed at a follow-up appointment, and the GP develops a personalised management plan covering dietary and lifestyle modifications, evidence-based supplementation, pharmaceutical hormone therapy where appropriate, and monitoring schedules to track treatment response. This GP-delivered model of hormonal care is available to Medicare card holders with standard consultation rebates applying.
