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.

Common conditions managed by gynaecologists include:

  • Menstrual and hormonal disorders
  • Pelvic pain and endometriosis
  • Ovarian cysts and fibroids
  • Fertility problems and early pregnancy complications
  • Menopause symptoms
  • Vaginal infections or discharge
  • Cervical or uterine abnormalities

Your gynaecologist can also provide preventive care, including cervical screening (smear tests), contraceptive advice, and sexual health checks. 

At The London Independent Hospital, our consultants take a holistic, patient-centred approach, addressing not only your symptoms but the underlying causes. With on-site diagnostic imaging and access to advanced treatment options, you can expect thorough investigations and personalised care tailored to your needs.

How much does a gynaecology appointment cost at The London Independent Hospital?

The cost of a private gynaecology appointment at The London Independent Hospital varies depending on the type of consultation and whether any investigations or procedures are required. As a guide, an initial consultation with a consultant 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, The London Independent Hospital offers fixed-price packages that include all hospital fees, consultant charges, and aftercare.

Private medical insurance often covers gynaecology appointments and procedures when medically necessary. Our advisors can liaise directly with your insurer to confirm your level of cover. For self-pay patients, we offer flexible finance options so you can spread the cost of your care.

What happens at a gynaecology appointment? 

In your first gynaecology appointment at The London Independent Hospital, your consultant will take time to understand your medical history, current symptoms, menstrual cycle, and any relevant factors such as pregnancies, contraception, or past surgery. 

You’ll have the opportunity to describe your symptoms, for example pain, bleeding, or changes in menstrual patterns, and discuss how they affect your daily life. Your consultant may ask about family medical history to help identify any hereditary conditions that could influence your care. 

If necessary, a physical or pelvic examination may be performed. This is always carried out with sensitivity, professionalism and your comfort in mind. You are welcome to request a chaperone during any examination.

Depending on your symptoms, your consultant may recommend investigations such as:

  • Ultrasound scan – to assess the uterus, ovaries, and pelvis
  • Blood tests – to check hormone levels or rule out infection
  • Cervical screening (smear test) – to detect abnormal cells
  • Hysteroscopy – a minimally invasive camera test to examine the uterus
  • Biopsy or tissue sampling, if required

In most cases, these tests can be arranged onsite, allowing for faster results and a more seamless experience.

At the end of your appointment, your consultant will discuss their findings, explain any test results (if available), and outline the next steps. This may include medication, lifestyle advice, further testing, or surgical options if appropriate.

The goal is always to ensure you leave your appointment with clarity, reassurance and a clear plan of action.

How to prepare for your appointment

Before your appointment, you may be asked to bring details of your medical history, medications, and any previous test results. If your visit involves a physical examination, you might be advised to schedule your appointment for a time when you are not menstruating, unless your symptoms specifically relate to your period.

Try to note down your symptoms: when they occur, how severe they are, and any patterns you’ve noticed. This information helps your consultant make a more accurate assessment.

If you feel anxious about your appointment, let our team know. We are here to ensure your comfort and dignity at all times.
