Gynaecology, ultrasound, pregnancy scans and more

With the current crunch in NHS services, especially gynaecology, we have decided to offer more gynaecology services, including external Ultrasound scans and pregnancy scans, to help the thousands of patients on waiting lists who need help.

There is currently an almost 18-week waiting list for gynaecology Ultrasound scans on the NHS and many private hospitals are struggling to cope with the demand for self-funded gynaecology Ultrasound and other appointments.

Our clinic has grown significantly over the last year so we now have five Consultant Gynaecologists, which means that we have more appointments, more availability and for the first time, we have virtually no waiting list so now is a good time to get in touch if you need:

IVF, fertility assessments, pregnancy scans or gynaecology surgery such as:
• Laparoscopic surgery
• Hysteroscopic surgery
• Open surgery for large fibroids
• Surgical management of miscarriage

Gynaecology scans provide detailed images to confirm that the pelvic organs are normal or the presence of abnormalities such as:
• Fibroids
• Endometrial polyps
• Ovarian cysts
• Endometriosis
• Polycystic ovaries
• Premature ovarian insufficiency (also known as premature menopause)
• Ovarian cancer screening

When should you have a gynaecology scan?
Gynae scans are recommended if you suspect, or have experienced, one of the following symptoms:
• Irregular or heavy periods
• Bleeding after menopause
• Fibroids
• Pelvic pain
• Difficulties conceiving

Ultrasound services offered at Herts & Essex Fertility Centre include:
• 2D and 3D ultrasound of ovaries and uterus (womb)
• 3D saline infusion sonography of the womb cavity (where indicated)
