  Seasonal influenza , commonly known as the flu, is more than just a bad cold. For many people, it causes a few days of fever, cough, and fatigue. However, for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and people with chronic health conditions, the flu can lead to serious complications. This is why flu vaccinations play a crucial role in protecting those who are most at risk. Who Are Considered Vulnerable? Vulnerable people include individuals whose immune systems are weaker or whose bodies may struggle to fight infections. This group commonly includes adults over 65 years of age, babies and young children, pregnant women, and people living with conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or weakened immunity due to medical treatments. For these individuals, flu-related complications can include pneumonia, hospitalisation, and in severe cases, life-threatening illness. How Flu Vaccinations Work Flu vaccines are designed to help the immune syst...

  Choosing the right contraception is an important personal decision, and for many women, convenience and reliability are key factors. Implanon is a long-acting, reversible contraceptive that offers effective pregnancy prevention with minimal daily effort. At Balgowlah Village Medical Practice , Implanon insertions are performed in a safe, supportive, and professional medical environment, ensuring patient comfort and confidence at every step. What Is Implanon? Implanon is a small, flexible rod inserted just under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a steady, low dose of hormone that prevents pregnancy for up to three years. Once inserted, it works continuously, making it one of the most effective forms of contraception available. Implanon does not require daily pills or monthly reminders, making it an excellent choice for women seeking a low-maintenance contraceptive option. How Implanon Works Implanon prevents pregnancy by: Stopping the release of eggs from the ovaries Thicken...

Keeping children healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, many of the most effective habits are simple, everyday routines that create a strong foundation for lifelong well-being. At Balgowlah Village Medical Practice , we believe preventive care begins at home and is supported through regular check-ups, guidance, and early intervention. By building healthy habits early, parents can ensure their children grow strong—physically, emotionally, and mentally. One of the most important daily habits for children is maintaining a balanced diet. Nutritious meals rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins support proper growth and strengthen immunity. Reducing sugary snacks and fizzy drinks can help prevent childhood obesity, dental issues, and energy crashes. Encouraging children to participate in meal planning or simple food prep also helps them develop a positive relationship with healthy eating. When kids learn to appreciate nutritious food early, they are more likely...

  Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing health concerns worldwide, but with the right care, awareness, and timely medical support, it can be managed effectively. Too often, people wait until symptoms become severe before seeking help — but early action can make a life-changing difference. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, are at risk, or simply want reassurance about your health, now is the perfect time to prioritise your wellbeing and book a diabetes check-up. A diabetes check-up is more than just a routine appointment. It’s an opportunity to understand your body, assess your health risks, and take proactive steps to prevent complications. Early detection can significantly reduce the likelihood of long-term issues such as heart disease, nerve damage, kidney problems, and vision impairment. Regular monitoring helps you stay informed about your glucose levels, lifestyle needs, and overall health status — empowering you to make confident decisions about your health journe...

Travelling is exciting, refreshing, and full of new experiences — but it also brings unique health challenges that many people overlook. Whether you’re travelling overseas, exploring new climates, or going on an adventure-filled holiday, preparing your health before you travel is just as important as packing your bags. At Balgowlah Village Medical Practice , we believe that smart travelling begins with personalised health care advice tailored to your destination, your medical history, and your wellbeing needs. Every destination has different health risks. Climate changes, food habits, water quality, hygiene standards, and exposure to unfamiliar environments can impact your health in unexpected ways. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when it comes to travel health. Personalised advice helps you understand exactly what your body needs so you can stay healthy and comfortable throughout your journey. Before you travel, a consultation with a healthcare professional gives ...
