Common gynaecological conditions we can help with

Many women experience gynaecological symptoms at some point in their lives – from painful periods to pelvic discomfort or changes in bleeding. Whatever you’re dealing with, our specialists are here to listen, assess, and help you find clarity and relief. Here are some of the most common conditions we see and support every day.

Endometriosis

Persistent pelvic pain, heavy periods, or discomfort during sex could be signs of endometriosis. Our specialists help diagnose and manage the condition so you can feel more comfortable and in control.

Fibroids

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in or around the womb that can cause heavy periods, pain, or bloating. We offer quick access to diagnosis and clear advice on the best options for you.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS can affect everything from your energy and hormones to your confidence and wellbeing. Our specialists are here to listen, investigate, and help you manage your symptoms with clarity and care.

Pelvic pain

Ongoing pelvic pain isn’t something you should have to put up with – it can be a sign of an underlying condition like endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease, and it deserves proper investigation and care.

Heavy or irregular periods

If your periods are unusually heavy, painful, or unpredictable, it could signal an underlying issue. Our consultants can assess what’s going on and guide you toward simple, effective solutions.

Cervical screening & abnormal smears

Regular cervical screening is key to protecting yourself against cervical cancer. If you’ve had an abnormal result or missed a test, our team is here to help with fast appointments and clear, supportive follow-ups.
