Key points

  • Women’s health spans separate clinical areas: contraception, fertility, menopause and gynaecological conditions each follow their own assessment, not one shared approach.
  • Fertility care begins with assessing both partners and the factors affecting conception.
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding assessment considers symptom impact, bleeding pattern and possible underlying causes.
  • Bimat (bimatoprost), for example, is listed here for glaucoma and eye pressure rather than a female-specific condition.

Clomid, Yaz and Diane 35 for fertility and contraception

Clomifene, the ingredient in Clomid, is listed for female infertility. Ethinylestradiol is listed for contraception in both Yaz and Diane 35, combined with drospirenone in Yaz and with cyproterone acetate in Diane 35. Yaz is also listed for premenstrual dysphoric disorder and acne vulgaris, while Diane 35 is also listed for androgen-dependent acne and hirsutism.
