Overview

Understanding gynaecology

Gynaecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, from the first periods through to the years after menopause. It covers a wide range of everyday concerns such as period problems, pelvic pain, vaginal discharge or discomfort, and questions around fertility and contraception.

Read more about Gynaecology

This speciality helps women who are dealing with irregular or heavy periods, suspected growths such as fibroids or cysts, infections, or general reproductive health questions that they may feel unsure about discussing elsewhere. It also supports women preparing for pregnancy or navigating perimenopause and menopause.

Gynaecologists take a detailed history, carry out relevant examinations sensitively, and explain findings in a way that helps women make informed choices about their own care and next steps.

Your first visit

A first gynaecology visit usually begins with a conversation about your menstrual history, symptoms, and any past pregnancies or surgeries, followed by a physical or pelvic examination if it is relevant to your concern. The doctor will explain each step before it happens.

What else to expect

It is helpful to bring any previous ultrasound or test reports, a note of your last menstrual period and cycle pattern, a list of current medicines, and details of any past gynaecological or pregnancy-related history.

Conditions

Conditions this speciality covers

General health information about some common conditions in this field — not a complete list, and not confirmation that every treatment mentioned is available at the hospital. Please speak to a doctor about your own situation.

Fibroids

Non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb.

Learn more about Fibroids

Fibroids are common, especially before menopause, and many women do not notice any symptoms at all, while others experience heavy periods or pelvic discomfort depending on the size and position of the growths.

Common symptoms

  • Heavy or painful periods
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Frequent urination
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Difficulty conceiving in some cases

How it is assessed

An examination along with an ultrasound scan is generally used to detect and assess fibroids.

Treatment options

Approaches range from monitoring without treatment for mild cases to medical or surgical options depending on symptoms and the woman's individual situation.

Endometriosis

A condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows in other areas of the pelvis.

Learn more about Endometriosis

Endometriosis can cause significant period pain and pelvic discomfort, and diagnosis can take time since symptoms often overlap with other conditions.

Common symptoms

  • Severe period pain
  • Pelvic pain outside periods
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty conceiving

How it is assessed

Assessment usually involves a detailed history, examination and imaging, with further tests considered if needed.

Treatment options

General treatment approaches include pain management and hormonal options, with the plan tailored to symptoms and future fertility plans.

Ovarian cysts

Fluid-filled sacs that can develop on one or both ovaries.

Learn more about Ovarian cysts

Most ovarian cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, but some can cause pain or need monitoring, particularly if they are large or persistent.

Common symptoms

  • Pelvic pain or heaviness
  • Bloating
  • Irregular periods
  • Pain during intercourse
  • A feeling of fullness after eating little

How it is assessed

An ultrasound scan is commonly used to identify and characterise ovarian cysts.

Treatment options

Many cysts are simply monitored over time, while others may need further evaluation or a procedure depending on their nature.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

A common hormonal condition that can affect periods, skin and fertility.

Learn more about Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS involves a hormonal imbalance that can lead to irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth and difficulty conceiving, and is often linked with weight and metabolic factors.

Common symptoms

  • Irregular or absent periods
  • Acne
  • Excess facial or body hair
  • Weight gain
  • Difficulty conceiving

How it is assessed

Diagnosis typically combines a review of symptoms, blood tests and an ultrasound scan.

Treatment options

Management generally focuses on lifestyle measures alongside medical treatment tailored to symptoms and fertility goals.

Vaginal infections and discharge

Common infections or imbalances affecting the vagina, often causing discomfort or unusual discharge.

Learn more about Vaginal infections and discharge

These are among the most frequent reasons women seek gynaecological advice, and most causes are straightforward to identify and manage once assessed.

Common symptoms

  • Unusual discharge
  • Itching or burning
  • Odour
  • Discomfort during urination
  • Pain during intercourse

How it is assessed

A clinical examination and sometimes a swab test help identify the cause.

Treatment options
