Common Gynaecological Conditions Treated

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Heavy or prolonged periods can interfere with daily life and may be a sign of an underlying condition such as fibroids, polyps or hormonal imbalance. Dr Jay provides thorough assessment and tailored treatment options.

Pelvic Pain & Period Pain

Chronic pelvic pain may relate to endometriosis, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts or infection. A full assessment, supported by ultrasound, helps identify the cause and guide effective treatment.
