Womens Health Clinic

A woman’s life journey is not linear. In each decade of her life, she is susceptible to different health conditions. At Sandgate Doctors, we have a strong understanding of how these conditions can affect women and we have the expertise to help. We look at you beyond a checklist of symptoms and give you the care you truly deserve.

Some of the women’s health services we offer include:

Pap Smears/ Cervical Screening Tests

Women are at risk of cervical cancer which may go unnoticed if not screened. We offer pap smear tests/cervical screening tests to detect cervical cancer or HPV related change within the cervix. At Sandgate Doctors, we recommend cervical screening tests to women based on their age and sexual activity. In addition to the screening, we also engage in active counseling about cervical screening. We help you prepare for the tests, answer your questions, and walk you through the test results in detail.

Gynecological Examinations

A woman’s body undergoes a myriad of changes. Having a doctor who cares, and knows you well, can make a big difference. We help our patients deal with :
  • Fibroids
  • Cervical cancer
  • HPV infections
  • Hysterectomy
  • Sexually transmitted diseases
  • Genital herpes

Breast Examinations

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers to affect women. However, if detected early can be treated with a good long term outcome. We can assess for causes of :

Family Planning Services

A woman is at the center of her family, making it important for her to have proper family planning guidance. Our team of doctors will help you with:
  • Advice re contraception options
  • Implanon insertion and removal
  • Depot contraception

Mental Health

The hormonal changes, reproductive cycles, and life experiences of a woman can make her vulnerable to mental health problems. At Sandgate Doctors, we have designed a program to meet the unique needs of women with mental health issues. Our program involves consultation, diagnostic analysis, medication management as needed and referral to the appropriate therapists.

We work with women struggling with depression and anxiety triggered by:

  • Diagnosis of health issues such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer etc.
  • Stress

Sexual Health

Good sexual health is vital to the overall wellness of a woman. Sexually transmitted infections can be asymptomatic and hence go undetected. Guidelines suggest regular screening for sexually transmitted infections based on your risk. We offer a safe and comfortable space for women to talk about their sexual needs and intimacy issues.

We screen, test, and treat women with sexually transmitted infections such as :

For pregnant women, we offer non-invasive screening services to identify any infectious conditions.

In addition to screening and medical treatments we also offer counseling services to women struggling with STIs. We help you overcome the symptoms of such infections and live a fuller life.

Each trimester of pregnancy can be a rollercoaster ride for a pregnant woman. She is experiencing so much physically and emotionally that it can take a toll on her. At Sandgate Doctors, we offer comprehensive care services through your pregnancy. Our doctors are family focused, compassionate, and culturally sensitive. We guide you on how to prepare for the newest member of your family and how to care for yourself as well.

Our care program aims to make your menopausal transition as painless and as comfortable as possible.

Incontinence & Prolapse

Women facing urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse require careful evaluation, as they may have other pelvic conditions as well. We carry out a detailed assessment of these conditions and help guide you on management options. We also help with recovery post prolapse surgery.

Osteoporosis

Post menopausal women are at increased risk for osteoporosis. At Sandgate Doctors, we screen you for your individual risk of osteoporosis and guide investigations and treatment based on your risk.
