Urogynaecology
This service focuses on conditions affecting the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs, including:
- Urinary incontinence
- Recurrent urinary infections (cystitis)
- Pelvic organ prolapse
Cervical screening
Cervical screening helps prevent cancer by detecting early changes in the cervix (neck of the womb). These changes can be treated before they develop further.
Colposcopy
A colposcopy is usually offered if cervical screening shows changes in the cells of the cervix.
It is similar to a smear test but allows a specialist to closely examine the cervix. Most abnormal results do not mean cancer, but further checks may be needed.
Early pregnancy care
Specialist clinics are available for women up to 15 weeks pregnant who may be experiencing:
- Bleeding or pain
- Or, have had previous pregnancy loss (miscarriage)
These clinics provide assessment, reassurance and advice.
Gynae Oncology
We provide care for women with suspected or confirmed gynaecological cancers, such as cervical cancer, through local and regional services.
Menopause clinic
Our specialist menopause clinic supports women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause.
