Private gynaecological care in North London 

At Hendon Hospital, we are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive gynaecological care for women at all stages of life.

What is gynaecology?  

Gynaecology is the field of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions that affect the female reproductive system, including the vagina, uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes. 

Gynaecology covers a wide range of concerns, including: 

• Women’s reproductive health, including contraception (family planning), menstruation (periods), and menopause 
• Sexual health 
• Conditions that impact the female reproductive system, such as fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, and cysts 
• Cancer, such as cervical, womb, or ovarian cancers 

A doctor specialised in this field of medicine is called a gynaecologist. Gynaecologists are specialists who undergo extensive training and education to learn how to diagnose and treat gynaecological concerns, including surgical procedures such as a hysterectomy. 

How much does a gynaecology appointment cost at The Hendon Hospital? 

Gynaecology is a broad speciality covering many different procedures. The cost of your treatment will depend on which type of treatment you are having.  

You can access private gynaecology treatment with us using private medical insurance or by paying for your own treatment. 

Often gynaecology treatment will be covered by your private health insurance, but not always. Speak to your provider directly to see what's covered in your policy. 

If you want to pay for your own treatment, you can either pay in full or take advantage of our flexible payment options, which allow you to spread the cost over a period of up to five years. 

Our self-pay customers benefit from fixed-price packages, meaning you'll know exactly what you're going to pay before you book your treatment. Your initial consultation and early diagnostic tests won't be included, but the cost of your treatment or surgery and hospital fees are, and so is your aftercare programme. There are no hidden costs down the line.

What happens at a gynaecology appointment? 

During your initial consultation, your chosen consultant will discuss with you what symptoms you might be experiencing, your medical and family history, and your daily lifestyle or habits. This will help your doctor understand what might be troubling you and eliminate other conditions. 

If necessary, your consultant will perform a physical examination to detect any signs for concern, such as any unusual lumps or points of pain. 

If your doctor suspects you may have a gynaecological condition and needs to further investigate your symptoms, they may recommend further tests and scans to get a clearer picture. 

This usually includes an ultrasound, but you may also be recommended for tests such as blood tests, MRI scans, CT scans, a biopsy, or a colposcopy. Once your consultant has evaluated these test results and your health information, they will detail what your next steps will be.
