Gynaecology care

The Birth Company offers comprehensive care meeting the needs of women from puberty through menopause and beyond.

Screening

Our services include routine well woman checks – cervical smear screening, ovarian screening, pelvic and breast examinations in addition to advice on contraception, hormone replacement therapy and sexual health checks.

Common gynaecological problems

We are able to offer care for the full range of gynaecological problems including problematic periods (too many, too few, too painful), pelvic pain, fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovarian syndrome and troublesome vaginal discharge.

Fertility

We perform fertility health checks including an assessment of hormone status, ovulation confirmation, fallopian tube patency and semen analysis. We perform laparoscopic tubal surgery if scarring or distortion of the fallopian tubes is likely to be preventing pregnancy.

Specialist services

Dr Roberts has a particular interest in disorders of the pelvic floor resulting in prolapse, urinary and faecal incontinence. She is trained in minimal access (keyhole) surgery and will use these techniques whenever possible in managing gynaecological problems requiring surgery.

Gynaecology ultrasound

Our state-of-the-art scanning equipment provides the latest in ultrasound technology. You may attend for a gynaecology ultrasound on its own or in conjunction with a consultation and examination. The majority of gynaecology scans are performed using a vaginal probe (a small device inserted gently into the lower vagina) to obtain the clearest views of the pelvis. In some circumstances pelvic scans may be performed through the tummy wall.
