Private Women’s Health & Gynaecology Clinic

A Gynaecologist is a doctor who specialises in the medical care of women, especially concerning the female reproductive system. They deal with issues such as pregnancy, menstruation, childbirth, hormone disorders, fertility problems and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to girls and women.

Yes. Some of the common gynaecological surgery procedures are; removal of ovarian cysts, removal of fibroids, surgical treatment of gynaecological cancers and removal of parts of the reproductive system.

Ideally girls should make a first visit to see a Gynaecologist between the ages of 13-15  to discuss sexually transmitted infection screening, prevention, and other health care advice. Unless you are sexually active or have vaginal discharge or other complaints, you will not need an internal pelvic exam. A pap smear test for cervical cancer involves an internal exam and does not start until you are 21 years old.

You don't need to be suffering from a serious symptom to visit a Gynaecologist. In fact, regular wellness exams are vital to female reproductive health. Although hundreds of women go in for their gynaecology checkups every year, it can often be seen as an unnecessary expense and many actively avoid appointments, especially when it comes to that dreaded smear test.

We believe visiting the Gynaecologist should be an essential part of a woman's life. As standard practice, we would recommend visiting the gynaecologist for a checkup annually, although this can vary depending on your age and health.

Below are just a few benefits of receiving regular checkups:

• Increased awareness about your sexual and reproductive health

• Detection of any conditions at the early stages so they can be treated most effectively

• Early diagnosis of gynaecological cancer

While gynaecology encompasses a wide range of women's health issues, obstetrics focuses more specifically on maternal health. This involves managing specific conditions during pregnancy, labour, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Receiving quality healthcare throughout this period is crucial for maintaining a high level of wellbeing, for women and their babies.
