About Gynaecology

Many women put off seeing a gynaecologist because a problem feels too personal, too small, or like something they are expected to live with. Painful periods, irregular cycles and changes after childbirth are common, but they can be treated.

When to See a Gynaecologist

Periods that are very heavy, very painful or irregular, or that have stopped when you are not pregnant
Bleeding between periods, after sex, or after menopause
Unusual vaginal discharge, itching, or pelvic pain
Trying to conceive for a year without success, or for six months if you are over 35
Planning a pregnancy, or questions about contraception, pregnancy or breastfeeding

Online or In-Clinic?

Many conversations work well online: irregular periods, PCOS, contraception, making sense of test or scan reports, and breastfeeding worries. Internal examinations, ultrasound scans and Pap smears need an in-clinic visit. If you would be more comfortable with a woman doctor, it is okay to say so when you book.

Get Medical Help Straight Away If You Notice

In pregnancy: bleeding, severe abdominal pain, fluid leaking, a severe headache with blurred vision, or your baby moving less than usual
Bleeding heavy enough to soak a pad every hour for several hours
Sudden, severe pelvic pain, especially with dizziness or fainting

Contact your nearest healthcare provider straight away, or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common hormonal condition that can cause irregular periods, acne, extra hair growth and difficulty getting pregnant. It is managed rather than cured, and with lifestyle changes, medicines where needed and regular follow-up, most women manage it well.

How much period pain is normal?

Cramps on the first day or two that ease with a hot water bag or a painkiller are common. Pain that keeps you away from work or college, needs painkillers every month to get through, or is getting worse over time should be checked, as it can be a sign of conditions like endometriosis.

When should I take a pregnancy test?

A home test is most reliable from the first day of a missed period. If it is negative and your period still has not come, repeat it after a few days. See a doctor to confirm a positive result and start antenatal care.

Can I breastfeed while taking medicines?

Many medicines are safe while breastfeeding, but not all. Do not stop breastfeeding or your medicine on your own; ask your doctor, who can usually find an option that is safe for you and your baby.
