Reflecting on a Year of Women’s Health: Key Learnings from 2025
As 2025 comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on the evolving field of women’s health and the experiences of those Dr Kelly Hankins has cared for in Gosford throughout the year. This reflection highlights key trends, common conditions, and how patient care is evolving to meet the unique needs of women.
Key Trends in Women’s Health in 2025
1. Growing Awareness Around Hormonal Health
More women are becoming proactive in seeking help for symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, such as mood changes, irregular cycles, and fertility concerns. This awareness is helping early diagnosis and better management of conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and menopause.
2. Advances in Robotic Gynaecology Surgery
Robotic surgery continues to gain prominence due to its precision and improved personalised care planning. Procedures for hysterectomy, endometriosis, and prolapse surgery in Gosford are increasingly performed with robotic assistance, improving patient outcomes.
3. Fertility Support and Preservation
With many women choosing to delay pregnancy, fertility consultations and preservation strategies have become integral to women’s health care. Dr Hankins has seen a rise in patients proactively addressing fertility alongside other health concerns.
4. Prolapse and Pelvic Floor Health
An increasing number of women are seeking help for pelvic organ prolapse, and advances in surgical techniques have made effective treatments more accessible. This has improved the quality of life for many patients experiencing these often under-discussed conditions.
The Importance of Holistic Care
Dr Kelly Hankins continues to emphasise a patient-centred, holistic approach, treating not just the condition but the whole person. Education, emotional support, and personalised treatment plans are vital components of care.
Looking Forward to 2026
The clinic is dedicated to enhancing access to advanced, evidence-based treatments and ongoing professional development to support care for women in Gosford. Dr Hankins encourages women to prioritise their health and wellbeing in the year ahead, reminding them that proactive care can lead to healthier, happier lives.
Thank you to all the women who have trusted Dr Kelly Hankins with their care in 2025. As we move into 2026, the focus remains clear: compassionate, expert care tailored to every stage of a woman’s life.
