Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal problem that effects the way your ovaries work, meaning that you don’t ovulate in the usual way.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue develops outside your womb, commonly on the organs in your abdomen and pelvis, often leading to pain, tiredness or more serious symptoms.
Fibroids
Fibroids, also known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus (womb) and can vary in size.
Menopause
Menopause is the natural stage in a woman's life when menstruation stops permanently, which usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55.
Ovarian cysts
The formation of fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries. While most are benign and resolve on their own, some can cause symptoms or require treatment.
Polyps
From complex surgery to straightforward procedures, we provide exceptional care across our network of hospitals, outpatient centres and specialist clinics.
Sexual health screening
A series of simple, routine tests that help you stay in control of your sexual health.

What to expect
Care that starts with listening
From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed into a calm, private space where you'll be treated with kindness, respect, and discretion. We know that discussing gynaecological health can feel personal, so we take time to put you at ease.
You can speak openly about symptoms, such as pelvic pain, irregular periods or menopause and will have peace of mind that you'll be guided through the next steps with clear explanations and ongoing support.
01
Initial consultation
During your first appointment, you'll discuss your symptoms with your gynaecology consultant so they can gain a clear understanding of your concerns. They'll also talk to you about your medical history and may carry out a pelvic examination if required.
02
Investigations and diagnosis
Based on the initial consultation, your gynaecologist may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as a pelvic ultrasound, blood tests, a cervical smear test or a hysteroscopy to help them make a clear diagnosis.
03
Treatment plan
Your consultant will discuss treatment options. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medication or hormone replacement therapy, surgical options, and symptom monitoring. Supportive care or onward referrals to other specialists may also be offered where appropriate.
