Menopause

Dr Bonnie Hawthorne (nee Dinkovski) is a GP with a special interest in Women's Health in midlife and perimenopause, as well as healthy skin, metabolic and hormone health.  Dr Bonnie is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP) and a member of the Australasian Menopausal Society (AMS).

 

As a busy mum of 2 children, being a medical doctor for over 27 years and being menopausal herself, Dr Bonnie offers a unique and evidence-based approach in addressing all things menopause:

 

• skin related issues (redness, rosacea, adult acne, skin laxity and volume loss)

• metabolic and hormone issues (weight gain, sleeping difficulty, night sweats /hot flushes, low libido, low self-confidence, irritability, joint aches)

• difficulty losing weight 

 

After a thorough consultation, certain investigations such as a blood test may be initiated. If indicated, along with lifestyle and diet modifications, prescription medications (Menopause Hormone Treatments &/or weight loss medications) are issued according to evidence-based medicine guidelines. This will generally require a follow up appointment to assess progress and address any concerns.
