Gynaecology

We treat all the varieties of gynaecological conditions including the medical and surgical treatment for pelvic pain, endometriosis, vulval diseases, vaginal and cervical conditions, fibroids and ovarian cysts.

Services provided include:

Colposcopy (examination of the cervix)
Endometrial ablation (a surgical treatment for heavy periods)
Fibroid embolisation (a non-surgical way of treating fibroids in the womb)
Myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids)
Hysteroscopy (examination of the womb)
Stop smoking service specifically for women
Perineal and third degree tear clinics
VBAC – support for women who have had a caesarean section previously but wish to deliver any subsequent babies vaginally.

We also provide oncology (cancer), colposcopy (examination of the cervix) and fertility services.

The out-patient gynaecology clinic is situated in the Woodcroft wing and has a separate entrance from Woodcroft Road.

Some gynaecology services such as colposcopy and hysteroscopy are provided in a separate Women’s Unit.

There is also an Early Pregnancy Unit which provides ultrasound and assessment of all early pregnancy complications and is reached through the Women’s Unit.

Inpatient care is delivered on Queen’s 2 ward.

We also provide highly a specialised fully integrated uro-gynaecology service based in the Lancaster Suite in the Silver zone of the hospital.

It provides a holistic approach to problems with the pervic organs and pelvic floor to avoid multiple consultations. We are at the forefront of research, provide an urogynaecology subspecialty training programme and hold international courses in perineal trauma and ultrasound.

Our team was awarded the prestigious 2005 UK Hospital Doctor Continence Team of the Year.
