What the doctor looks after

Pelvic exam and cervical cancer screening

Pap smear or HPV DNA test by age and risk. The doctor tells you which test and how often.

Menopause and hormones

Hot flushes, poor sleep, mood swings. Symptoms assessed, blood tests done, then care with the doctor following up.

Vaginal dryness, pain or irritation

The cause is found first, then medication, a lubricant or laser is chosen.

Intimate PRP

Uses concentrated platelets from your own blood. The research is still limited. The doctor tells you plainly what it can help with and what is still unclear, before you decide.

Abnormal discharge or recurrent infections

Testing for yeast, bacteria or another cause, then treatment that targets what is found.

Checks before procedures

A pelvic exam before laser, or before filler when necessary.
