Treatments & Procedures

We offer a full range of gynecological treatments, from routine preventive care to advanced minimally invasive surgeries for complex women's health issues. Our specialists are dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to every stage of a woman's life.

  • Consultation and evaluation

    History, examination, pelvic ultrasound, hormonal blood tests and cervical screening where indicated.

  • Medical management

    Hormonal and non-hormonal treatment for menstrual disorders, PCOS, endometriosis and menopausal symptoms. Most problems are managed without surgery.

  • Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery

    Small incisions for ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis and ectopic pregnancy, with less pain and quicker recovery than open surgery.

  • Hysteroscopy

    Inspection of the inside of the womb through the cervix, used to investigate abnormal bleeding and to remove polyps or small fibroids.

  • Hysterectomy and myomectomy

    Removal of the uterus when other treatments have not worked or removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus where future pregnancy is planned. Alternatives should always be discussed first.

  • Cervical procedures

    Colposcopy and treatment of abnormal cervical changes detected on screening.

When Should You See a Gynaecologist?

Many women delay a consultation because a symptom seems minor or the appointment feels awkward. Several conditions are far easier to treat early.

Book a consultation if you have: periods that are irregular, absent or have changed; bleeding heavy enough to soak through protection hourly or to pass large clots; period pain that stops you working; bleeding between periods, after intercourse or after menopause; persistent pelvic pain; unusual discharge; pain during intercourse; difficulty conceiving after 12 months (or 6 months if over 35); urinary leakage; menopausal symptoms affecting daily life or no cervical screening in the last 3 to 5 years.

Come to Emergency for severe sudden pelvic pain, heavy bleeding with dizziness, high fever with pelvic pain or any bleeding during pregnancy.

Consultations are private, examinations are conducted with a chaperone present and your records are confidential. See our gynaecology consultant, related fertility care and pregnancy and maternity care.

Frequently asked questions

PCOS cannot be cured, but it is very manageable. Weight management, exercise, dietary change and - where needed - medication can restore regular cycles, control symptoms and lower later diabetes risk.

If you are changing protection every hour or two, using double protection, passing clots larger than a rupee coin, bleeding for more than seven days or feeling exhausted from the blood loss, it should be assessed.

No. Many fibroids cause no symptoms and only need monitoring. Treatment is considered when they cause heavy bleeding, pain, pressure or fertility problems - and medication is often tried first.

Most guidance recommends screening from around age 21 to 25, repeated every three years or every five years if HPV testing is included. Your consultant will advise the right interval for you.

No and it should not be accepted as normal. It can result from infection, endometriosis, fibroids, vaginal dryness or pelvic floor problems - all of which are treatable once identified.
