Trailblazing doctor takes the helm as Townsville Hospital and Health Service’s new clinical lead for urogynaecology. 👩‍⚕️✨

Reducing the Stigma of Men's Health 🩺

A local men’s clinic is expanding their services in a bid to reduce the stigma of men accessing health services and address the higher illness and mortality rates faced by men who avoid seeking medical treatment.

Verve Men's Clinic is regional Queensland’s only dedicated men’s health clinic specialising in s*xual wellness and will commence offering a wider range of GP services and sports medicine.

Verve is expanding to GP services for men!

From Monday, Verve Men’s Clinic shall offer full GP services for men 🙋🏾‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏿‍♂️🙋🏽‍♂️

In the heart of the City on Denham Street, Verve has become North Queensland’s only dedicated men’s health facility, encouraging men to seek health advice and treatments as much as possible 🗯️❓

This is because compared to women, men visit the doctor less frequently, have shorter visits and only attend when their illness is in its later stages 😷

Men, particularly older men, typically prefer to see a male doctor for intimate or private issues. However, the family doctor can often be female 🩺

Introducing Dr Jonathan Fenton FRACGP MBBS (Hons), Verve’s Co-Director and one of two resident GPs at our clinic 🥼🥼

Dr Jonny relocated to tropical North Queensland from Ireland, having completed his medical degree at the University of Glasgow, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dr Jonny is passionate about normalising men’s full access to healthcare and is proud to offer this new service to Regional Queenslanders 🙌

Dr Jonny is now taking bookings via Verve’s website (link in bio) or via the HotDoc app 📲

Meet our Urological Surgeon Dr Philippe Wolanski (MBBS, FRACS Urol)

Dr Philippe is a highly respected and accomplished urological surgeon based in Townsville. He is a proud North Queenslander, having completed his undergraduate degree at James Cook University in Townsville and his urological training in Queensland. He honed his skills further during his post-fellowship year at the state-of-the-art Gold Coast University Hospital. Seeking to further expand his expertise, he completed an honorary fellowship in Andrology and Reconstructive Surgery at University College London Hospital.

Recognising the need for specialised men's health services in North Queensland, Dr Philippe has now co-founded Verve Men's Clinic, to provide men in Regional Queensland with access to the latest treatments and services for erectile dysfunction and cosmetic enhancements.

He understands that men in regional areas often have limited access to such services, and aims to improve their s*xual and mental health. With his extensive training and experience, Dr Philippe is committed to providing the highest quality of care to patients in North Queensland.

Book in for an initial consultation with Dr Philippe now by visiting www.vervemensclinic.com

This International Men's Day, we're working to break down the stigma around men's mental health! 💪

Here are some ways you can help:
✔️ Be open and honest about your own challenges. This shows others that it's okay to talk about mental health.
✔️ Pay attention to your loved ones and look for changes in their behaviour, personality, or how they talk. Ask them how they're feeling.
✔️ If you hear someone say something negative about men's mental health, politely tell them that their words can be harmful.
✔️ Create a safe space for your loved ones to talk about their mental health challenges and seek help.

How do you help break down the stigma?

Learn more about one of new and innovative treatments - Low-intensity Shockwave Therapy or LISWT 💡

Gonorrhoea is a common STI that's on the rise in Queensland. 📈

It can infect the p***s, va**na, a**s, eyes, or throat when exposed to unprotected va**nal, a**l or oral s*x or from fingers and s*x toys during s*x play.

If and when symptoms do occur, they usually develop a few days to a week after infection.

In most cases, gonorrhoea can be treated with antibiotics. However, drug-resistant strains are becoming more common and may need more specialised treatment. Previous treatment doesn't make you immune to new infections. 💊

Left untreated, gonorrhoea can potentially lead to serious health issues (like pelvic inflammatory disease) and infertility.

If you're having s*x or sharing s*x toys, stay safe by using a condom with water-based lubricant. Also, have regular STI checks — every year or every partner (whichever is first). ✅

Did you know? 🤔

We're currently renovating our premises - a 1930s art deco building on Denham Street👷‍♂️

But not only does the building look good, it also holds some of Townsville's historical significance due to a previous owner...

Because the building was once owned by a Prime Minister of Australia, Sir Arthur Fadden!

Sir Arthur Fadden or "Heartie Artie" as he was affectionately named, held the top job for no more than 39 days in 1941, and joked that he was like a flood in that he "reigned for 40 days and 40 nights"

Heartie Artie, a 'billyboy cane cutter' from Ingham, rose through the positions of Town Clerk, to Accountant before opening his own firm on Denham Street in Townsville 👏

He became Prime Minister after many years of holding the position of Treasurer for the UAP-Country Party coalition, and due to the resignation of party leader Robert Menzies.

He lost the job when two independents resigned from the Coalition, leaving him no choice but to issue his government's resignation to the Governor General later on that day, after the grand total of 39 days in power 😬

Perhaps we should apply for our own similar plaque, erected at our neighbours' at 66 Denham Street 💡 Townsville City Council

At Verve Men's Clinic, we pride ourselves on ensuring all communication and resources are responsible, accurate and evidence-based. It's our job! 🤓

That's why we've started a blog section on our website 📃 to help prospective patients understand a little more about conditions they may be experiencing, and to help them understand the full spectrum of treatments on offer before they feel they have to take the next (and daunting) step of booking a consultation 😦

We're committed to smashing the stigma that many sufferers of erectile dysfunction feel 😞 Because the ripple effects of ED aren't only physical, but can effect their self-esteem and intimate relationships too🫶

This week we have started off by focusing on 'Men's Sexual Health in Australia' 🍎

Take a look at our blog section via the link in bio, and read more about why men in Regional Australia, suffer more often from conditions such as erectile dysfunction than in metro areas 😮
