Frequently asked questions
Can I bring test results from another clinic or another country?
Yes, and it is worth doing. Book the Second Opinion appointment and send the records at least three working days before, so they are read in advance. Reviewing a set of previous investigations properly is separate work from a standard consultation, which is why it is a separate appointment at £320.
Can I message the clinic instead of booking?
For anything practical, yes. WhatsApp is the fastest way to ask about appointments, what to bring, or which appointment type fits your problem. We will not interpret results or change treatment by message, because that needs your history and often an examination.
Is a pelvic examination included in the consultation fee?
Yes. The £200 consultation covers the discussion, the examination where it is needed, and a management plan. Nothing about the examination is charged separately. If a pelvic ultrasound is also needed, that is £300 for the two together in the same visit.
What if I need to come back?
A follow-up for patients already seen here is £120, or £200 for a follow-up pelvic ultrasound. If we ask you to come back, we will tell you why and roughly when. Many patients need no follow-up at all, and we will say that too.
Do I need a different appointment for menopause or fertility?
No. One gynaecology consultation covers all of it — periods, pain, fibroids, cysts, menopause, perimenopause and fertility — at the same £200 and the same 45 minutes. Tell us the reason when you book so the right time and questionnaire are set aside, but you are not charged more for one problem than another.
Is the full STI panel a blood test?
No. It is a swab, taken in the same way as a cervical screening sample. The panel covers seven infections: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, mycoplasma genitalium, ureaplasma, trichomonas, gardnerella and herpes simplex I and II. Blood tests are separate and are arranged only when they are clinically needed.
