🩷🌸Cervical Cancer Screening Month 🌸🩷

🚺This month at Bargo Doctors we wish to raise awareness of cervical cancer and vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV), the main cause of cervical cancer.

🩷Cervical Cancer Awareness Month aims to highlight the importance of increasing access to HPV vaccines, regular screening, and state-of-the-art treatment for cervical cancer in its early stages.

🚺Cervical cancer in its early stages may present no symptoms. This is why regular cervical cancer screening is important, from the age of 30 years to check for HPV, even with having the vaccination. Women who test negative for HPV should get screened again every 5 to 10 years.
Women living with HIV should be screened for HPV every 3 years from the age of 25.

🌸Know the symptoms of cervical cancer - See a doctor straight away if you experience:
🌷 Irregular bleeding between periods, after the menopause or after sexual in*******se
🌷Increased or foul-smelling vaginal discharge
🌷 Persistent pain in the back, legs or pelvis
🌷 Weight loss, fatigue and loss of appetite
🌷 Vaginal discomfort
🌷 Swelling of legs

🌸Bargo Doctors wishes to emphasise the importance of having regular screenings and staying up to date with your cervical health appointments, we offer in clinic pap smears and referrals for more investigative testing.

🩷To book an appointment or any inquiries please call us on 4684 2168, alternatively you can book via Health Engine or our website https://bargodoctors.com.au/

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer if caught early.
Regular screening is crucial to detect changes in the cervix that could, if untreated, develop into cancer.

📣IMPORTANT PATIENT NOTICE!
📆From 1st November 2025, significant changes apply to Medicare bulk billing arrangements.
🤔WHAT’S STAYING THE SAME?
We will continue to bulk‑bill all Medicare‑eligible service items when no private fee applies and your visit is for a service covered by Medicare.
🤔WHAT’S CHANGING?
• The Government is expanding eligibility for bulk‑billing incentives so that all Medicare‑eligible patients, not just children or concession card holders, are included from 1 November 2025.
• A new incentive for practices – the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) – means practices that bulk‑bill all eligible services for all Medicare‑eligible patients may receive additional Medicare payments.
• Important for you as a patient: Some services offered may not be eligible under Medicare (for example, non‑referred attendances or services already covered under other arrangements) and a gap fee or private fee may apply.
👩‍⚕️IN SHORT:
We aim to bulk‑bill whenever the service is Medicare‑eligible and we can. If you are attending for a service that is not fully covered by Medicare, we will inform you before your appointment about any out‑of‑pocket cost (gap/private fee).

Here at Bargo Doctors, we would like to highlight the importance of September as the month of Prostate Cancer Awareness.
It is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with an increased risk for men over the age of 50 or with previous family history.
Each year in Australia over 25,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, it is estimated that a male has an 18% risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of 85.

Prostate cancer develops when abnormal cells in the prostate, a small walnut-sized gland found only in men, grow uncontrollably and form a malignant tumour.

Symptoms to be aware of prostate cancer include:
- Frequent urination
- Urgent and sudden need to urinate
- Difficulty urinating
- Weaker than normal stream
- Painful ej*******on
- Blood in urine or semen
- Erectile dysfunction

Males over the age of 50 should discuss prostate cancer with their doctor and be screened for the disease on an annual basis. This can be done through a simple PSA blood test, which checks for elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (a protein produced by both cancerous and non-cancerous tissue in the prostate).

For more information and resources check out https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/prostate-cancer
Call to book an appointment with your doctor today to discuss your risks and screening via 4684 2168 or via Health Engine: https://healthengine.com.au/medical-centre/nsw/bargo/bargo-doctors/s74810
