WHAT TO EXPECT
One-stop gynaecology visit
At HCA UK, we want you to feel as comfortable and reassured as possible. One of the ways we can put you at ease is to let you know what to expect at each stage of your time with us.
Our one-stop gynaecology clinic is available at our women's outpatient sites. It's designed to provide a full picture of your reproductive health in one extended visit, so you need fewer appointments and get better access to care.
This service is available with a GP referral, or you can self-refer if you wish. Here's what to expect from your appointment.
01
Initial consultation
This will take place at one of our clinics in calm, relaxing surroundings. One of our expert gynaecologists will take the time to listen to your concerns and answer any questions you have. They'll carry out a gentle physical examination and an ultrasound, making sure you feel comfortable and fully supported throughout.
02
Tests and scans
You'll have a range of routine blood tests as well as a urine dip test to help us check for, or rule out, a variety of gynaecological conditions. Your consultant will explain each test clearly, so you know exactly what we’re looking for and what your results mean.
03
Hysteroscopy and ultrasound
If needed, you may have a hysteroscopy – a close look inside your uterus using a thin, flexible telescope. It’s a key tool to help diagnose (and sometimes treat) issues like abnormal bleeding or fibroids. You may also have a transvaginal ultrasound to get a clearer view of your pelvic area. We'll explain each step and make sure you're as comfortable as possible throughout.
04
Follow-up and ongoing care
Following your initial investigations, we may recommend further imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan. These give us even more detail about your reproductive health and help us come up with the best treatment plan for you. If needed, we can arrange next steps quickly and seamlessly through our trusted private network, making sure you’re always in expert hands.

If you're experiencing symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy or irregular periods, unusual discharge, or any changes in your reproductive health, it's a good idea to see a gynaecologist.
At your first consultation, your specialist will listen carefully to your concerns, answer any questions, and carry out any necessary examinations, including an ultrasound. They’ll explain everything to you at each step so you feel informed, reassured and in control of your care.
Depending on your symptoms, you might have blood tests, urine tests, an ultrasound scan, or a hysteroscopy to investigate the cause of your symptoms. We’ll explain all these tests to you, and we’ll only recommend what’s needed for your health and peace of mind.
We know waiting for results can be stressful. That’s why we aim to return test results within 48 hours – sooner if possible. Once we have your results, your consultant will discuss them with you and explain your options if any further treatment or investigation is needed.
Yes, in many cases we can arrange further scans, minor procedures, or referrals on the same day as your initial appointment. Thanks to our extensive private network of hospitals and leading consultants, you won’t have to wait long to start your treatment plan.
