You have a question about our Gynae Services? We have an answer.
A gynaecologist is a medical doctor who specialises in women's reproductive health. At Spital Clinic, our experienced gynaecologists provide comprehensive care for various conditions affecting the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and breasts. They offer a wide range of services, from routine check-ups and screenings to diagnosing and treating complex gynaecological issues.
Some women prefer to see a Female Gynaecologist
The decision of whether to see a male or female gynaecologist is entirely personal. Both male and female gynaecologists undergo rigorous training and are qualified to provide excellent care. However, some women prefer to see a female gynaecologist for the following reasons:
Comfort and Trust: Many women feel more comfortable discussing intimate details of their reproductive health with another woman. They may find it easier to open up and share concerns.
Empathy and Understanding: Some women believe that female gynecologists may have a deeper understanding of the female body and its experiences, leading to better empathy and communication.
Shared Experiences: Female gynecologists may be able to relate to patients on a personal level, as they have firsthand experience with many of the physical and emotional challenges women face.
It's important to emphasise that these are general preferences and not definitive factors. Many women have excellent experiences with male gynaecologists. The most important factor is finding a healthcare provider who you trust and feel comfortable with. Ultimately, the best gynaecologist for you is the one who makes you feel heard, respected, and confident in their care.
It is recommended that women visit a gynaecologist annually for a well-woman exam. However, the frequency of visits may vary depending on your age, health status, and specific concerns. At Spital Clinic, our gynaecologists work closely with patients to create personalised care plans that address their unique needs and ensure optimal reproductive health.
During a gynaecological exam at Spital Clinic, your doctor will review your medical history and discuss any concerns you may have. The exam typically includes a breast examination, a pelvic exam to assess the health of your reproductive organs, and a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer. Our gynaecologists prioritise patient comfort and privacy throughout the examination process.
Common signs of gynaecological problems include irregular periods, abnormal vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, and unusual bleeding. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is essential to consult with a gynaecologist at Spital Clinic promptly. Our experienced team will work diligently to diagnose the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
While both gynaecologists and obstetricians focus on women's health, they have distinct roles. Gynaecologists specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the female reproductive system, while obstetricians focus on pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. At Spital Clinic, our team includes both gynaecologists and obstetricians, ensuring comprehensive care for women at every stage of life.
Treatment options for heavy or irregular periods depend on the underlying cause. At Spital Clinic, our gynaecologists may recommend hormonal birth control, medications to regulate menstrual cycles, or minimally invasive surgical procedures such as endometrial ablation. We work closely with patients to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on their individual needs and preferences.
To maintain good gynaecological health, it is essential to schedule regular check-ups with a gynaecologist at Spital Clinic, practice safe sex, maintain a healthy weight, and adopt a balanced diet. Additionally, staying active, managing stress, and avoiding harmful habits such as smoking can contribute to overall reproductive well-being.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to cervical cancer and other health issues. At Spital Clinic, we recommend that women receive the HPV vaccine, which protects against the most common cancer-causing strains of the virus. Regular Pap smears and practising safe sex can also help reduce the risk of HPV-related complications.
Menopause is a natural transition that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. At Spital Clinic, our gynaecologists can help manage these symptoms through hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle modifications, and other personalised treatment options.
Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and other complications. Treatment options at Spital Clinic may include pain medication, hormonal therapies, and minimally invasive surgical procedures such as laparoscopy. Our gynaecologists work closely with patients to develop individualised treatment plans that alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within the ovaries. While many cysts are asymptomatic, some may cause pelvic pain, bloating, and irregular periods. At Spital Clinic, our gynaecologists use advanced imaging techniques to diagnose ovarian cysts and determine the most appropriate course of action, which may include monitoring, medication, or surgical removal.
There are various contraceptive methods available, each with its own risks and benefits. At Spital Clinic, our gynaecologists provide comprehensive contraceptive counselling to help patients make informed decisions. Options may include hormonal birth control pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, and barrier methods such as condoms. We work with patients to find the most suitable option based on their lifestyle, medical history, and family planning goals.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus, often causing heavy periods, pelvic pain, and other symptoms. Treatment options at Spital Clinic depend on the size, location, and severity of the fibroids, as well as the patient's age and reproductive goals. Options may include medication, minimally invasive procedures such as uterine artery embolisation, or surgical removal through myomectomy or hysterectomy. Our gynaecologists provide personalised care to help patients find the most effective solution for their unique situation.
Booking a smear test is a simple process. Smear tests, also known as cervical screenings, are vital for detecting abnormal cells in the cervix early. Follow these steps to book your appointment and ensure you stay on top of your cervical health. Here is a step-by-Step Guide on How to Book a Smear Test:
Check Your Eligibility: In the UK, women aged 25 to 64 are eligible for regular smear tests. Check if you are due for a test based on your age and the recommended screening interval.
Make an Appointment:
GP or Sexual Health Clinic: Call your GP or local sexual health clinic to schedule an appointment.
Private Clinic: If you prefer a private clinic near you, contact them directly. They often provide flexible scheduling and faster appointments. You can use Spital Clinic's online booking system to secure an appointment.
Prepare for the Test:
Timing: Schedule your appointment for a time when you are not on your period. The best time is usually mid-cycle, around 14 days after the start of your last period.
Hygiene: On the day of your test, avoid using vaginal creams, lubricants, or douches, as these can affect the test results.
Attend Your Appointment: Arrive at the clinic on time. Bring any necessary identification and your NHS number if you are visiting an NHS clinic. The test is quick, usually taking about 10 minutes.
Follow Up: After the test, you will receive your results by post. If further action is needed, the clinic will contact you to discuss the next steps.
Why Book a Smear Test?
Early Detection: Smear tests can detect abnormal cells before they become cancerous, allowing for early intervention.
Peace of Mind: Regular screenings provide reassurance and help you stay informed about your cervical health.
Preventive Care: By detecting and treating abnormalities early, smear tests play a crucial role in preventing cervical cancer.

"Great experience. Frustratingly we had 3 NIPTs come back with no result so had to do 3 blood redraws but thanks to LPC’s persistence we finally got a result on the 4th draw. After the 3rd no result they also kindly offered us a free anomaly scan."
"I had a surprisingly positive experience. The most friendly and helpful staff, clean and beautiful premises. The visit was smooth and quick but never felt rushed and I was able to ask all the questions I had. Thanks so much!"
"The service was exceptional from the moment we booked to the moment we left the building post our appointment. The lovely colleagues at the main desk were great and approachable. They made the whole process very comforting."
"I really recommend this clinic, everything was smooth and perfect. All staff are helpful and our sonographer Miss Shaz is an expert on her job, she is very kind and explained everything that we asked. I am glad to choose LPC."
