What happens during your gynaecology appointment?

During your gynaecology appointment we will try to help you as much as we can. Therefore, we will reserve extra time for your first appointment so that, after the intake interview, the required examination can be performed, and the treatment plan can be discussed with you. Treatments will be provided as soon as possible and we will make every effort to ensure that the results of the examination (pathology) will be communicated to you and your GP as soon as possible.

The centre has a treatment room for minor surgery that can be performed either with or without the use of local anaesthesia. After your visit, we will inform your GP about our findings and the relevant therapy. If you wish to receive a copy of that letter, please contact your treating physician to arrange for that.

Frequently asked questions about dermatology

What exactly does a gynaecologist do?

A gynaecologist is a doctor who specializes in the health of the female reproductive organs. This includes menstrual problems, pregnancy, fertility, menopause and gynaecological conditions. A gynaecologist examines your question or condition, diagnoses it and determines treatment for it, if necessary.

When should I see a gynaecologist?

You can visit a gynaecologist for a variety of reasons. You can see a gynaecologist if you suffer from health problems, such as irregular periods, severe menstrual pain, contraceptive advice, fertility problems or menopause symptoms. You can also visit the gynaecologist for advice, preventive checks and answering questions.

Is a visit to a gynaecologist only for pregnant women?

A visit to a gynaecologist is also for women who are not pregnant. This is because a gynaecologist treats a variety of health conditions that are not necessarily related to pregnancy, such as menstrual problems, hormone disorders and pelvic floor problems.

From what age can I see a gynaecologist?

There is no set age to visit a gynaecologist. Some young girls already go for advice about their periods, while others do not make an appointment until later for such things as contraception or pregnancy counseling.

What is the difference between an obstetrician and a gynaecologist?

An obstetrician guides healthy pregnancies and deliveries. She assists with check-ups, provides education and helps with natural childbirth.
A gynaecologist is a medical specialist who, among other things, treats complex pregnancies and deliveries with complications. In addition, a gynaecologist also deals with other disorders of the female sex organ. These include fertility problems, menstrual problems, vaginal infections, prolapse and menopausal problems.
