Frequently asked questions
When should I see a gynaecologist about my periods?
If periods are very heavy, very painful, irregular, or stop unexpectedly — or for bleeding after menopause — a gynaecologist should assess you.
What is antenatal (pregnancy) care?
Regular check-ups, scans and tests through pregnancy to keep mother and baby healthy and catch problems early. Some symptoms in pregnancy need urgent review.
