A woman knows when she has a gynaecological problem. The most effective way to have the correct diagnosis and thereafter receive the right treatment in order to have a fast recovery is to be seen by a gynaecologist, specialised and trained to handle the majority of the gynaecological problems and diseases there are in an outpatient setting. At London Medical, services include each patient's relevant medical history, a proper gynaecological examination as well as cultures, smear tests, transvaginal ultrasound, biopsies and blood tests whenever required, this can be done at a single visit so that treatment can be started without delay. 

Bleeding Disorders

These include everything from amenorrhea to irregular bleeding as well as postmenopausal bleedings. The causes may be endocrinological disorders or benign conditions such as fibroids, or more serious ones. All investigations that may be needed will be done in order to find the true cause and treat it.

Menopause

The menopause is a transitional period of life causing different problems. Sweating is the symptom most accessible for treatment. It may lead to disturbed sleep which in turn may have a very negative affect on many conditions in everyday life. Hormonal treatment has to be individualized concentrating on the lowest dose for the shortest period of time needed for each woman. Atrophical vaginitis may develop some years after the menopause, causing dyspareunia, urinary tract infections and so on. Vaginal application of low dose estrogens is available for almost all patients after examination.

Urinary Incontinence

This is a condition that still is very embarrassing for many patients to bring up, but very important to do so with ones gynaecologist. There are two main different types, urgency and stress incontinence and also mixtures of the two. It is important to find the cause and to what extent it affects life. The pelvic floor plays an important part. There are different treatments with drugs or surgery depending on the diagnosis.

Family Planning

Sometimes it is difficult to find the best way for family planning for each couple and individual. There is the pill with combines oestrogen and progestin, there are progestin only pills as well as intrauterine devices. Sterilization may be a solution for some.  Depending on the individual needs counselling will take place.

Infertility

It is important for a couple that are facing infertility to discuss their problems with an experienced gynaecologist. They both need to know what basic investigations that are needed and how different problems can be resolved. 

Infections

Discharge and itching is very disturbing for each woman who is affected. An experienced gynaecologist can set the correct diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment for these problems that have a multitude of reasons for developing. We have a thorough knowledge of HPV-infections, and whom to vaccinate against this virus.

Vulvar Problems

These include different problems such as warts as well as itching caused by different diseases, all of each need to be correctly diagnosed and have their own special treatment.

 

Whatever the gynaecological problem might be, all of them will be thoroughly cared for, and, in the few cases when surgery is needed or very special treatments such as IVF, referrals to eminent colleagues will be arranged.
