Well Woman Checks

Sometimes it is helpful to have a thorough gynaecological assessment to provide peace of mind if you are worried about any of the following:

• becoming pregnant
• having a miscarriage
• fertility
• infections such as Chlamydia or thrush
• your periods
• embarrassing problems such as discharge
• sexual problems
• family history of gynaecological problems, including cancers
• menopause concerns
• contraception concerns

The consultation will involve:

• Discussion on family history and general gynaecological well-being
• Pelvic and speculum examination with cervical smear, HPV testing and/or full infection screening as required 
• Full gynaecological ultrasound scan to check for problems in the womb or ovaries 
• Hormone blood tests to check for fertility or menopause
• Other investigations as appropriate
• Pre-conception/contraception/hormone replacement advice and treatment
