When should I seek professional advice? Will I require tests and if so what will these involve for me? Do I require treatment? What will be my treatment options? How can I tell which will be the best treatment for me? How will I benefit from a particular treatment? Could a proposed treatment cause problems (side effects) for me? Could I change my treatment if I am not happy with it? What is the best way for me to avoid an unplanned pregnancy? Will we be able to have children when we wish? What will happen to me at the menopause? |
Women's health problems and related questions are extremely common.
There are seldom simple answers to these questions.
Every woman is an individual, with her own particular set of circumstances. Every clinical problem requires evaluation and the potential benefits and risks of investigations and treatments demand careful consideration and explanation. If you have a recurring pain that does not require even a paracetamol tablet it is unlikely that you would require an operation to determine the cause or remove the source of the pain - the risks of surgery are likely to be greater than the potential benefits. Simple introduction to each subject followed by greater detail and those who may require it whether patients or professionals. |
These are all very personal and intimate matters that are rarely
discussed with others.
Frequently the relationship with a partner may be affected sometimes leading to marital disharmony. For a gynaecologist, and in particular for those sub-specialising in reproductive medicine, there are quite complex issues to be addressed. It is relatively simple for a patient to understand that a 'joint is wearing out' or that a 'heart-valve is leaking' but hormones are an enigma to the majority. The interplay of the various hormones that are involved in the menstrual cycle, fertility, general health and the psyche are not yet fully understood even by specialists. |
