Common gynaecological conditions.

Endometriosis

Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing painful or heavy periods, chronic pelvic pain, pain with intercourse and trouble conceiving. We diagnose through symptom review, imaging and sometimes laparoscopy, and manage with hormonal treatment, pain relief, surgery and physiotherapy. Many people with endometriosis go on to conceive.

Cervical Screening & Colposcopy

Cervical screening detects HPV and abnormal cells early — recommended from age 25 to 70–74, with self-collection now available. If a result is abnormal, colposcopy examines the cervix under magnification, sometimes with a small biopsy. Most feel only mild discomfort, with some cramping afterward.

Chronic Pelvic Pain

Pain lasting more than six months that may stem from reproductive, urinary, bowel or musculoskeletal sources. We manage it with anti-inflammatories, pelvic physiotherapy, nutritional approaches, nerve treatments and psychological support.

PCOS / PMOS

Polycystic / polyendocrine ovarian syndrome

A hormonal condition affecting ovulation and metabolism, linked to insulin resistance and raised androgens. It can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart-health and endometrial concerns, and fertility difficulty. Treatment includes hormonal medication, metformin, lifestyle support and ovulation induction.

Fibroids

Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that vary in size and position. They can cause heavy or prolonged bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary frequency, constipation and fertility concerns. Diagnosed by ultrasound or MRI and treated with medication, minimally invasive surgery, hysterectomy or uterine artery embolisation.

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Bleeding heavy enough to interfere with daily life, often with large clots, and sometimes leading to anaemia, fatigue, dizziness and breathlessness. Options include tranexamic acid, hormonal treatments, endometrial ablation, iron support and, where needed, surgery.

Contraception

From the pill, patches, rings, injections and implants to IUDs, barrier methods, permanent options and emergency contraception. We help you choose what fits your body, your circumstances and your fertility goals.

Adolescent Gynaecology

Sensitive care for heavy or painful periods, early or delayed puberty and pelvic pain. Internal exams are rarely needed, every consultation is strictly confidential, and young patients choose whether a parent joins them.

Prolapse

When weakened support allows pelvic organs to descend — often after childbirth or menopause — bringing a sensation of pressure, a "sitting on a ball" feeling, and bladder or bowel changes. Managed with lifestyle support, pessaries and surgical repair options.

Urinary Incontinence

Involuntary leakage with exertion (stress), a sudden urge, or both. Risk rises with childbirth, menopause and age. We treat it with lifestyle changes, pelvic floor physiotherapy, medication, Botox, nerve stimulation or surgery such as a sling.

Ovarian Cysts

Very common fluid-filled sacs that are usually harmless and resolve on their own. Some cause pelvic pain, painful periods, bloating or discomfort with intercourse. Diagnosed by ultrasound, with treatment ranging from watchful waiting to surgery for larger or suspicious cysts.

Perimenopause & Menopause

Perimenopause leads into menopause (twelve months without a period; on average age 51 in Australia). Symptoms can include irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, low libido, brain fog, joint pain and poor sleep. We support you with lifestyle care, hormone replacement therapy, non-hormonal options and psychological support.
