Though generally not life threatening, these chronic women's health conditions can have a huge impact on a woman's quality of life!

 

Chronic conditions usually: 

​

  • have complex and sometime unknown causes

  • may affect individuals alone or with other diseases

  • usually have a gradual onset

  • compromise quality of life and create limitations and disability

  • are long-term and persistent.

We do have on-site gynaecologists, and many women's health GPs who have special skills, qualifications and experience in these chronic gynaecological issues, understand what you're going through, and are ready to help you as soon as possible!

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Diagnosis & Management

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is NOT a disease - It is a syndrome. This means there are a collection of features, which when grouped together, give rise to a pattern which can effect a woman's overall health and wellbeing. 

 

The main problems that PCOS can cause are menstrual irregularity, insulin resistance (or metabolic issues) and occasionally infertility.

Endometriosis Diagnosis, Workup, Management and Counselling

Endometriosis Doctor

Endometriosis is commonly underdiagnosed and badly managed in general practice.

 

The gold standard for clinching the diagnosis is to have a laparoscopy, however, there is much that can be achieved without a laparoscopy.

 

A good GP will be able to help with the debilitating symptoms which often come with endometriosis, on clinical suspicion alone. 

 

We will need you to complete a diary which will help us work out whether endometriosis is the issue or something else. 

​

The good news is that endometriosis often responds well to hormone therapy, such as a pill or hormonal IUD.

 

We also have gynaecologists who can consult with you via telehealth and plan for a laparoscopy if necessary.

Adenomyosis

Clinic 66 Online - If you're experiencing heavy painful periods month after month, you may have adenomyosis.

If you're experiencing heavy painful periods month after month, you may have adenomyosis.

 

Adenomyosis is similar to endometriosis in that the cells lining the uterus get into the wrong spot, causing havoc!

 

Adenomyosis typically affects older women and apart from causing anaemia, it can make life miserable.

 

Treatment options include a hormonal IUD, uterine artery embolisation and hysterectomy.

 

We can help with making a diagnosis (easily achieved with a good ultrasound scan) and help you consider the risks and benefits of each treatment. We have specialists in our network who can consult with you via telehealth too.
