Gynaecological Services
Health screening for general health, cancers,
fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis and
infections
For the health conscious women, tests including Pap
smear to check for cancer of the cervix, ultrasound
scan of the pelvis to check for tumours and cysts
and blood tests for general health assessment are
available. Mammogram is usually recommended for
those above 40 years of age. Colposcopy (microscopic
examination of the cervix) is also available if
deemed necessary.
Inpatient and Outpatient Surgery including
Laparoscopic and Hysteroscopic Surgery
Treatment for common gynaecological tumours like
cysts and fibroids will depend on many factors
including the symptoms and the nature of the tumour.
If surgery is needed, it can be done either via
laparoscopy ( small ‘key-hole’ incisions) or
conventional open incisions.
Hysteroscopy is useful for the diagnosis and
treatment of heavy or irregular periods. Tumours in
the womb cavity can be removed via this method
without abdominal incisions.
Urinary incontinence that results from menopause or
childbirth can usually be corrected with day surgery
sling procedures.
Childbirths and menopause can result in a lax vagina
which may affect sex life. This may be re-fashioned
surgically.
Pre-pregnancy Check-up and Contraceptive Advice
The ultimate goal of a couple planning to start a
family is a healthy baby. Hence it is advisable to
first get a health check and for the potential
mother, to ensure that she is protected against
infections like German measles and hepatitis B which
can be transmitted to the unborn baby. Other tests
are to detect common medical conditions like anaemia
and thalassemia.
On the other hand, if you are looking to prevent or
delay pregnancy, we have various forms of
contraception (birth control) available including
oral pills, injectables, condoms, IUCD (copper and
Mirena) and implants. Emergency contraception has to
be seen within 24 to 48 hours after intercourse for
it to be effective.
Sterilization (tubal ligation) is performed by
surgical division of the Fallopian tubes or by the
application of clips. This procedure has to be done
in the hospital and is a day surgery procedure.
Infertility Assessment and Treatment
Any couple who have been unsuccessful in trying to
conceive after a year should seek consultation.
During the first visit, a detailed history and
physical examination will be carried out to try and
determine the possible causes of the inability to
conceive. At the same time, Pap smear, ultrasound
scan and blood tests are performed and arrangement
for a sperm test is made.
After the results of the tests are known, the next
step may be to undergo laparoscopy which is usually
done as a day surgery. This is an excellent tool
which is important in the investigation of infertile
couples. With this, it is possible to visualize the
female reproductive organs and look for tubal
blockage. Fibroids and cysts can also be removed at
the same time. After finding the cause we can
commence treatment. This is can be in the form of
ultrasound follicular tracking and timing of
intercourse or intra-uterine insemination. Assisted
reproduction e.g. IVF if needed will be arranged.
Management of Menopausal Problems, including
Osteoporosis ('brittle bones')
The menopause is characterized by the cessation of
periods. In addition the patient may suffer from
menopause symptoms like hot flushes, mood swings and
vaginal dryness and in the long term complications
of osteoporosis, which can lead to fractures.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been the main
treatment for this condition. However, there are
many other alternatives (without the risks of HRT)
that can help women cope with their menopause.
Women should also be screened for osteoporosis using
Xrays (BMD) to check for bone density. Various
treatment for brittle bones are available.
Obstetrical Services

Prenatal diagnosis including ultrasound and
amniocentesis
We provide care for your pregnancy from the time of
conception till delivery and postnatally. Antenatal

amniocentesis, nuchal fold translucency, detailed
fetal scans ( 2-D and 3-D) ,and blood tests can be

structural abnormalities.
