⚠️ STRESS AWARENESS MONTH: KNOW THE SIGNS 💭

While April kicks off with April Fools’ Day, Stress Awareness Month is no joke.

That’s because the 2024/25 NZ Health Survey shows stress:

📊 Affects many New Zealanders (14.3% of adults experience high or very high distress)
📈 Has increased significantly in recent years (up from 7.4% in 2019/20)
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Is more common in young people (22.9%), Māori (22.5%), and Pacific peoples (23.8%)

Stress is our body’s natural response to pressure, but when it sticks around, it can start to affect your health and lead to:

• High blood pressure
• Obesity and diabetes
• Depression or anxiety
• Heart disease
• Muscle tension or headaches
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

If stress is affecting your daily life, talk to our team. We’re here to support you.

A quick check-in today can make a real difference. 💙

👁️ PROTECT YOUR VISION: CHECK FOR GLAUCOMA 🔍

March is Glaucoma Awareness Month, and it’s a timely reminder that glaucoma often develops without any early symptoms. That means you may not notice any changes to your sight until the condition has already progressed.

Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, but early detection can help slow or prevent further damage.

The best way to protect your vision is through regular eye checks. An optometrist can assess your eye pressure, examine your optic nerve, and carry out simple tests to detect glaucoma early.

You may be at higher risk if you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, or have certain medical conditions. Even if your vision feels fine, it’s still important to get checked.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed or want to learn more about glaucoma, including testing and support, you can visit 👉 https://glaucoma.org.nz/about-glaucoma/

Remember, how you take care of your eyes now determines your vision in the future.

❄️ DON’T LET WINTER TRIGGER YOUR ASTHMA 🫁

Did you know asthma symptoms are often brought on by things in your environment?

Common triggers include pollen, pet dander, dust, smoke, cold air, temperature changes, and respiratory infections like colds or flu. Because many of these are more common in winter, asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath can flare up more easily.

That’s why one of the best ways to stay in control of asthma is by following a written Asthma Action Plan. This personalised plan is created with your healthcare provider and outlines what to do when your asthma is well controlled, getting worse, or becoming severe.

If you live with asthma, it’s a good idea to make sure your inhalers are up to date and that your asthma action plan is reviewed at least once a year.

🔎 HOW IS ENDOMETRIOSIS DIAGNOSED? 🩺

Endometriosis affects around 1 in 10 women and people assigned female at birth.

Unfortunately, there is currently no simple screening test that can diagnose it.

Diagnosis often begins with a conversation about what you’ve been experiencing. Your clinician may ask you to track your cycle over time, arrange imaging such as an ultrasound, and refer you to a specialist if further assessment is needed.

In many cases, clinicians may suspect endometriosis based on symptoms and imaging findings. However, the only way to definitively confirm endometriosis is through a minor surgical procedure called a laparoscopy.

Remember, severe period pain that affects your quality of life should not be normalised. If your symptoms are getting worse or stopping you from living your normal life, it’s worth having a kōrero (talk) with your clinician.

For many people, receiving an endometriosis diagnosis can bring relief and validation, and help guide the next steps in care and treatment.
