We provide prompt and efficient investigations for a range of different gynaecological symptoms and conditions, including:
- a cervical smear abnormality
- abnormal bleeding, such as heavy or irregular periods, bleeding between periods, bleeding after sex, bleeding with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), or post-menopausal bleeding
- a clinical abnormality of your cervix, vulva, or vagina
- pelvic pain, including period and premenstrual pains
- feeling constantly bloated or discomfort in your tummy area
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or have received an abnormal smear result, you can self-refer to the clinic or be referred by your GP.
Depending on your symptoms and reason for referral, you may receive some of the following diagnostics at your appointment or shortly after:
- initial consultation and smear test
- ultrasound scan, to assess your uterus and ovaries
- colposcopy , to assess your cervix (the lower part of your womb)
- endometrial biopsy, to collect a sample of the lining of the womb
- cervical biopsy, to collect tissue from the cervix
- vulval biopsy, to collect tissue from the vulval area
Your tests will be analysed at our on-site laboratory. You will then have a follow-up consultation with your gynaecologist to discuss your test results and any ongoing treatment options.
Endometriosis can have a significant impact on a patient’s quality of life, causing a wide range of debilitating symptoms including considerable pain. Because of the variation in symptoms, diagnosing endometriosis can be difficult and most patients wait an average of seven years before receiving a diagnosis.
At the International Centre for Endometriosis, our aim is to provide patients with rapid access to a diagnosis, and a comprehensive, tailored treatment plan to set them on a path to recovery.
We also provide a specialist endometriosis service for adolescent patients aged between 13 and 18.
Our experienced gynaecologists work as part of multidisciplinary teams to treat cancer and complex cases. If you receive a diagnosis for a gynaecological cancer, you will be supported every step of the way by your consultant and members of your healthcare team.
We have some of the best gynaecology cancer consultants and treatment facilities available. Depending on your diagnosis and needs, the following treatments may be recommended to you:
- surgery
- chemotherapy
- radiotherapy
