If you're experiencing problems with your female reproductive system, your GP may refer you to a gynaecologist. A gynaecologist is a medical professional who specialises in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the female reproductive system.

Common reasons for referral to a gynaecologist include menstrual problems, such as heavy or irregular periods, pelvic pain, vaginal infections, urinary incontinence and fertility issues. Gynaecologists can also provide preventive care, such as cervical smears, and can diagnose and treat gynaecological cancers.

During your appointment with a gynaecologist, they will conduct a thorough examination of your reproductive system and develop a personalised treatment plan. Treatment may involve medications such as hormones, antibiotics, pain relievers, or procedures such as laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, or dilation and curettage (D&C).

It's important to take care of your reproductive health and seek medical attention if you're experiencing any problems. With the right care and support from one of our many gynaecologists, it's possible to manage and treat many gynaecological conditions and maintain good reproductive health.
