Obstetrics and Gynaecology

What is obstetrics and gynaecology?

Obstetrics and gynaecology focuses on health conditions affecting the female reproductive system, pelvic organs and pelvic floor. Care may involve managing menstrual and pelvic symptoms, supporting fertility, and treating conditions that affect bladder, bowel or pelvic support.

Our team looks at both physical symptoms and how they affect daily life, relationships and wellbeing. Treatment plans are developed carefully, with attention to comfort, recovery and long-term outcomes.

• Have gynaecological infections
• Have pelvic organ prolapse
• Have urinary incontinence
• Have pelvic floor problems related to pregnancy or childbirth, including levator avulsion or obstetric anal sphincter injuries
