Understanding Women’s Weight Management
Medical weight management is a structured approach to supporting people who may benefit from clinical intervention alongside lifestyle and nutritional support.
At Ovara, our approach looks beyond weight alone.
Our specialist nurses have expertise in women’s health and endometriosis, helping us understand the wider context in which weight management takes place.
Where medical treatment may be appropriate, your suitability is assessed carefully and treatment is subject to clinician/prescriber review.
If you are considering medical weight management, our structured assessment can help establish whether this approach is appropriate for you. You may be looking for support with:
Weight management that goes beyond diet and exercise alone
Understanding whether medical weight management is suitable for you
A structured approach to improving your health and wellbeing
Support with weight, lifestyle and nutrition
Regular clinical monitoring rather than simply receiving a prescription
A service that understands women’s health
Weight management alongside other women’s health considerations
A personalised plan based on your individual circumstances
Your first appointment is about understanding your health and determining the most appropriate next step.
What we consider
Weight can be influenced by many different factors, which is why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. During your assessment, we may consider:
We will discuss your current and previous health conditions, medications and any relevant medical history.
Your weight and BMI form part of the clinical assessment and help determine whether medical weight management may be appropriate.
We will discuss areas such as nutrition, physical activity and lifestyle habits as part of your wider assessment.
Our team has specialist expertise in women’s health and endometriosis, allowing relevant women’s health considerations to form part of your assessment.
Where relevant, we will discuss reproductive health, pregnancy and plans to conceive as part of determining treatment suitability.
We want to understand what you are hoping to achieve and what matters most to you.
There is no automatic route to treatment.
Your suitability will be assessed individually, taking into account your health, medical history, BMI, medications and other relevant factors.
Our clinical team will help determine whether this pathway is suitable for you.
Pregnancy. Pregnancy and trying to conceive require specific reproductive-health assessment.
