What is gynaecology?

Gynaecology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Gynaecologists diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions that can affect women’s health at every stage of life, from adolescence through menopause and beyond.

What gynaecology treatments are offered at The Droitwich Spa Hospital?

Some of the procedures our gynaecologists perform most commonly include: 

Private Womb Removal (Hysterectomy) Surgery in Droitwich

A hysterectomy can help with symptoms of heavy periods, fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease and ovarian cysts. The ovaries can also be removed during this procedure if deemed necessary.

Private Gynaecological Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy in Droitwich

Keyhole surgery can reduce recovery time and can also result in fewer scans than normal surgery. For a gynaecological laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, your surgeon will use specialise cutting tools to remove the womb.

Private Vaginal Wall Repair in Droitwich

A bulge in the vagina is caused by an anterior prolapse where the bladder drops down within the vagina due to the tissues around the bladder becoming weak. This results in feeling as if you have not fully emptied out your bladder which can cause a lot of discomfort and anxiety around the constant need to pass urine. There are a lot of reasons as to why an anterior prolapse can occur but a vaginal wall repair surgery can ensure the strengthening of the tissue around the bladder and can remove the bulge within the vagina.

Private Ovary Removal (Oophorectomy) Surgery in Droitwich

If you suffer from endometriosis or have a high risk of ovarian cancer, then a private ovary removal (oophorectomy) surgery might be recommended. The surgery can be tailored to your needs and does have the option to remove your uterus at the same time if necessary.

Other private treatments include:

• Dilatation and curettage
• Urodynamics
• Cervical smear test
• Operations on female perineum
• Colporrhaphy
• Excision of cyst (vaginal area)

How much does a gynaecology appointment cost at The Droitwich Spa Hospital?

The cost of a private gynaecology appointment at The Droitwich Spa Hospital varies depending on the type of consultation and whether any investigations or procedures are required. As a guide, an initial consultation with a gynaecologist starts at around £200.

If diagnostic tests are needed, such as an ultrasound scan, smear test, or biopsy, these are charged separately. The hospital will always provide a full, written cost estimate before proceeding with any tests or treatments, ensuring complete transparency.

Should you require treatment such as a minor procedure or surgery, we offer fixed-price packages that include all hospital fees, consultant charges, and aftercare.

What happens at a gynaecology appointment?

When you first visit with your consultant gynaecologist at The Droitwich Spa Hospital, they will take a clinical history and ask you about your symptoms. They will want to know:

• The symptoms you have
• How long you’ve had these symptoms
• Whether you have any pain in or around your pelvis or abdomen
• If your symptoms are affecting your daily life
• If you’ve tried any treatment already, such as prescription medication or physiotherapy
• Whether you have any particular concerns about your symptoms (for example, are you worried you may have ovarian cancer?)

They may need to carry out a physical examination of your pelvis and abdomen, and this will be explained to you beforehand.

Depending on the physical examination and your symptoms, you may be referred for further investigations. These may include:

• Blood test
• Vaginal swabs - to check for infection
• A colposcopy – to examine the cervix, vagina, vulva using a special microscope with a light (called a colposcope)
• Diagnostic scans - normally ultrasound, but X-ray, MRI or CT are also readily available on-site if required

Once any results are back, your consultant will talk about them with you and explain treatment options. It’s natural to have questions, and your consultant will be very happy to talk these through with you to make sure you’re happy with any treatment plan.
