About the clinic

Gynecology and obstetrics covers women's reproductive health across the whole of life — from a first period to long after menopause. It is one of the areas where the patient often knows exactly what she wants to ask about, but where the question rarely gets asked. An experienced gynecologist knows that a significant part of the work is making it possible to raise what genuinely worries you, not just what is easiest to put into words.

We have built the visit to make difficult questions easy to ask — from home, in a setting you choose yourself, with no waiting room and without having to explain why something matters to you.

How it works

  1. 1Book and describe your main problem online.
  2. 2Upload previous results if you have them — test results, examinations, medication list.
  3. 3Video consultation — review of your history and targeted questions.
  4. 4A clear plan — next steps, any treatment, and a timeframe for follow-up.

What to prepare

  • A timeline of your symptoms (when it started, what triggers or relieves it)
  • Current medications and doses
  • Known allergies and previous illnesses
  • Previous test results and examinations, with dates if possible
  • Your three most important questions for the visit

Call your local emergency number immediately or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

  • Heavy bleeding
  • Dizziness or fainting alongside bleeding
  • Pregnancy complications (for example severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, reduced fetal movements)
  • Severe, sudden pelvic pain

Digital care cannot replace emergency services. If unsure, seek care immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Can you assess irregular periods?

Yes, we make an initial assessment and guide you on what comes next.

Can you follow up a pregnancy?

We can answer questions and interpret test results; routine pregnancy check-ups are often still done in person according to local practice.

Can you interpret cervical screening results or ultrasound scans I've already had?

Yes, if you upload them.

Can you prescribe hormonal treatment?

Yes, where it is medically appropriate.

How does a second opinion work?

You upload your previous assessment and test results; we give you our own evaluation.

What happens after the visit?

A written summary with a plan.

Can you help with fertility questions?

We give an initial assessment and guidance on further investigation.

What do I do if I get worse?

Contact us again, or seek emergency care per the safety box.

Can I book without having a specific diagnosis in mind?

Yes. Many people book because something feels wrong without knowing what — working that out is exactly our job.

Can you help with contraception advice?

Yes, both when choosing a method and when dealing with side effects of your current one.

Fifteen common conditions

Irregular periods (hormonal disturbance)
Typical age
Childbearing age.
Background
Hormonal imbalance, often linked to PCOS or stress.

Irregular cycle, missed periods.
What the doctor looks for
Patterns over time.
Investigations
Blood tests (hormone panel), sometimes ultrasound.
Diagnosis
Test results and symptom picture.
Management
Individual, depending on the cause.
Follow-up

Childbearing age.
Background
May be caused by hormonal imbalance, fibroids or other causes.
Symptoms
Heavy bleeding, sometimes leading to anaemia.
What the doctor looks for
Bleeding pattern, signs of anaemia.
Investigations
Blood tests, sometimes ultrasound.
Diagnosis
Depends on the underlying findings.
Management
Depends on the cause, from medication to further investigation.
Follow-up
According to findings.
Prognosis
Good once the cause has been identified.
What you can do yourself
Note how often you change protection and whether you bleed through — that is the most useful information for the assessment.
When should you book?
For bleeding that needs changing more often than every two hours, or if you feel tired and breathless (which can indicate anaemia).
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
Typical age
Childbearing age.
Background
A hormonal disturbance that affects ovulation.

Irregular periods, acne, increased hair growth, weight change.
What the doctor looks for
The combination of symptoms.
Investigations

Symptoms
Severe period pain, pain during intercourse, pelvic pain.
What the doctor looks for
The symptom pattern.
Investigations
History, ultrasound; a definite diagnosis often requires in-person investigation.
Diagnosis
Clinical suspicion, confirmed by specialist investigation.
Management
Pain relief, hormonal treatment, sometimes surgery.
Follow-up
Regular.
Prognosis
Chronic but manageable.
What you can do yourself
Keep a pain diary tied to your cycle — the pattern is central to the diagnosis and takes time to map.

What you can do yourself
Bring the letter with your result — the wording is hard to interpret and often means something less serious than it sounds.
When should you book?
When you've had an abnormal screening result and want to understand what it means.
Contraception advice and side effects
Typical age
Childbearing age.
Background
One of the most common reasons for contacting a gynecologist. Many people switch or stop contraception because of side effects without knowing that there are several alternatives with completely different side-effect profiles.
Common symptoms
Mood changes, bleeding disturbances, reduced libido, headache, nausea.
What the doctor looks for
Which type of contraception, for how long, and which symptoms appeared after starting it.
Investigations
History; blood pressure and risk assessment before hormonal treatment.
How the assessment is made
By weighing side effects against needs and risk factors.
Management
Changing method or preparation; that often solves the problem entirely.
Follow-up
After three months if you switch.
Risk factors to know
Migraine with aura, smoking over 35, previous blood clot, high blood pressure — these affect which methods are suitable.
Common misconception
That all hormonal contraceptives cause the same side effects. The differences are considerable.
What you can do yourself
Note which side effects you have and when they started — the timing often decides the assessment.
When should you book?
For troublesome side effects, or when you want to change method.
Prognosis
Very good — almost everyone finds a method that works.
Bleeding after menopause
Typical age
After menopause.
Background
All bleeding after menopause must be investigated, regardless of how little there is. The vast majority of causes are benign — thinning of the lining is the most common — but it is also the single most important symptom for detecting cancer of the womb early, which makes prompt assessment decisive.
Common symptoms
Bleeding or blood-stained discharge more than a year after your last period.
What the doctor looks for
Time since menopause, amount of bleeding, hormone treatment.
Investigations
Requires a gynecological examination and ultrasound — not something that can be settled remotely.
How the assessment is made
It requires an in-person investigation; we help you get there promptly.
Management
Depends on the cause.
Follow-up
According to findings.
Risk factors to know
Overweight, late menopause, oestrogen treatment without progestogen, family history of womb or bowel cancer.
Common misconception
That a small amount of bleeding doesn't matter. The amount says nothing about the cause — all bleeding after menopause must be investigated.
What you can do yourself
Note the date and the amount, and seek care without waiting.
When should you book?
For any bleeding that happens more than a year after your last period. Don't wait.
Prognosis
Good — the vast majority of causes are benign, and those that aren't are found early.
Pelvic pain without a clear cause
Typical age
Childbearing age and upwards.
Background
Chronic pelvic pain often has several contributing causes — gynecological, bowel-related, urological and muscular — which means patients are sometimes passed between specialties without anyone taking an overall view.
Common symptoms
Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis for at least six months, sometimes cyclical, sometimes constant.
What the doctor looks for
Whether the pain varies with your cycle, any link to bowel or bladder function, and previous investigations.
Investigations
Review of previous investigations; ultrasound; sometimes coordination with gastroenterology or urology.
How the assessment is made
By mapping every possible source rather than focusing on one.
Management
Often multimodal — pain treatment, hormonal treatment for cyclical pain, pelvic floor physiotherapy.
Follow-up
Regular.
Risk factors to know
Endometriosis, previous pelvic infection, previous surgery, IBS.
Common misconception
That you have to “live with it” once the investigations have come back normal. Normal findings do not rule out treatable pain.
What you can do yourself
Keep a pain diary covering your cycle, bowel and bladder function — the connections often only emerge then.
When should you book?
For pelvic pain lasting more than six months, particularly if you've felt dismissed before.
Prognosis
Improvement is possible for most people with the right combination of treatments.
Vaginal dryness and genital discomfort
Typical age
Most common after menopause, but occurs at all ages.
Background
One of the most common but least talked-about complaints. After menopause a large proportion of women are affected, but few bring it up — even though treatment is often simple and highly effective.
Common symptoms
Dryness, burning, itching, pain during intercourse, sometimes frequent urges to urinate.
What the doctor looks for
The time relationship to menopause or hormone treatment, and ruling out infection.
Investigations
History; gynecological examination where there is doubt.
How the assessment is made
Usually clinically, from the symptom picture and stage of life.
Management
Local oestrogen is highly effective with minimal effect on the rest of the body; over-the-counter moisturisers as a complement.
Follow-up
After a few months of treatment.
Risk factors to know
Menopause, breastfeeding, certain cancer treatments, smoking.
Common misconception
That it is an unavoidable part of ageing you have to put up with. Treatment is simple and works for the vast majority.
What you can do yourself
Over-the-counter moisturisers are worth trying, but local oestrogen usually gives a considerably better effect.
When should you book?
When the symptoms affect your quality of life or your sex life, however long you've had them.
Prognosis
Very good — one of the conditions where treatment makes the biggest difference.
PMS and premenstrual symptoms
Typical age
Childbearing age.
Background
Cycle-related symptoms affect most women to some degree, but for roughly one in twenty they are pronounced enough to affect work and relationships (PMDD). That is a clear medical diagnosis, not something you should have to put up with.
Common symptoms
Low mood, irritability, anxiety, breast tenderness, bloating — recurring in the luteal phase and easing when your period starts.
What the doctor looks for
Whether the symptoms are strictly cyclical and ease once your period starts — that is what separates PMS and PMDD from underlying depression.
Investigations
A symptom diary across at least two cycles is decisive for the diagnosis.
How the assessment is made
Prospective symptom recording, not retrospective memory.
Management
Lifestyle, hormonal treatment, and specific medication in pronounced cases.
Follow-up
Once treatment has started.
Risk factors to know
Previous depression or anxiety, family history, high stress levels.
Common misconception
That PMS is something everyone has and should tolerate. Pronounced symptoms are a treatable diagnosis.
What you can do yourself
Record symptoms daily across two cycles before the visit — it is the most important basis for the assessment.
When should you book?
When the symptoms affect your work, your relationships or your quality of life every month.
Prognosis
Good — treatable for most people.
