Gynaecology covers a range of complaints from menstrual problems to uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and cervical polyps.
We strive to give our patients a unique understanding of their condition and management options, as well as full control over their condition. We also provide follow-up appointments scheduled to monitor changes to conditions and to allow alterations to management plans when indicated.
Any investigations are able to be scheduled with no waiting lists and are carried out with the very latest technological innovations.
Our consultant gynaecologists are among the leading doctors in the UK in their field and have extensive experience in surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
When needed, our consultants are able to liaise with other medical specialties within our service for further opinions. This approach to care leads to the very best clinical outcomes for our patients.
Gynaecological conditions may be secondary to genetic disorders, lifestyle factors, transmitted diseases or the menopause and some gynaecological conditions are caused by the ageing process itself.
Diagnostics related to medical conditions can involve screening tests (commonly referred to as a smear test), specialist imaging or physical examinations which may involve specialist instrumentation. Lab and pathology-based diagnostics may also be requested, with tissue extracted for biopsy depending on the exact nature of symptoms.
Our consultant gynaecologists will gain a full understanding of your problem by taking a thorough history of your symptoms and getting a better understanding of their exact nature.
This may include the severity and type of pain you may be experiencing as well as any associated symptoms, such as changes to your menstrual cycle or general health symptoms, such as fatigue.
Your gynaecologist will also gain an understanding of your previous medical history including any family history of similar symptoms or gynecological and related conditions. This will allow our gynaecologists to develop an accurate risk profile for your individual circumstances and request the most appropriate diagnostic tests as required.
State-of-the-art diagnostics available for you
Following your initial consultation our expert gynaecology consultants may organise a variety of tests and diagnostic procedures:
A diagnostic colposcopy is a procedure used to examine possible abnormal cells to the cervix and is performed by inserting a device known as a speculum into the vagina to allow visibility of the area by the gynaecologist.
Some medical fluid may be used to identify any abnormal cells further and if needed, your gynaecologist will take a tissue biopsy for lab based analysis.
When attending our women’s health unit due to pregnancy or possible pregnancy, our consultants will conduct a physical examination. We will also organise relevant ultrasound imaging which will be either a viability, anomaly or growth scan, depending on the circumstances.
