Is private gynaecology suitable for you?

Private gynaecology is suitable for women of all ages who want faster access to specialist care and a more personalised healthcare experience overall. 

You do not usually need a GP referral and can self-refer for private gynaecological treatment directly.  

This allows you to seek advice quickly, particularly if your symptoms are affecting your daily life. 

Why might you want to see a gynaecologist?

There are many reasons why you may choose to see a consultant gynaecologist. Some concerns are short-term and easily treated, while others benefit from more specialist assessment and ongoing care. You may want to book an appointment with a consultant gynaecologist if you are experiencing: 

• Irregular, heavy or painful periods 
• Pelvic pain or discomfort 
• Bleeding between periods or after menopause 
• Fertility or menstrual health concerns 
• Symptoms related to menopause or hormonal changes 
• Recurrent infections or unexplained vaginal symptoms 
• Concerns identified during routine screening 

Visiting a specialist allows you to explore your symptoms fully and receive appropriate advice, diagnostic testing, and treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. 

How much does private gynaecology cost in Carmarthen?

What gynaecological conditions can be treated?

Werndale Hospital provides private healthcare for a wide range of gynaecological conditions. Your consultant will work with you to understand your symptoms and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. Common conditions we treat include: 

• Menstrual disorders such as heavy or irregular bleeding 
• Fibroids and ovarian cysts 
• Endometriosis 
• Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS, formally known as PCOS) 
• Chronic pelvic pain 
• Menopause-related symptoms 
• Vulval and vaginal conditions 
• Fertility concerns and early pregnancy issues 

Our focus is on accurate diagnosis, clear communication, and effective treatment.  

We understand that going through a gynaecological diagnosis can be emotionally challenging for many reasons, especially because it often involves a long period of uncertainty, repeated tests, and waiting for answers. That is why we are here – to provide fast results, reassurance, clear communication, and compassionate care at every stage of your healthcare journey. 

What treatment options are available in gynaecology?

Treatment in gynaecology is always tailored to your individual symptoms and diagnosis. Many gynaecological conditions can be managed without surgery.  

Medication 

This may include medication to control symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or infection, as well as hormonal treatments to regulate your cycle or manage conditions such as PMOS/PCOS and endometriosis. Your consultant will explain how each option works and what results you can expect in detail. 

Lifestyle 

Lifestyle advice can also play an important role in your treatment plan. This may include guidance on diet, exercise, stress management, and other practical steps that support your hormonal balance and symptom control. In many cases, a combination of tailored medical treatment and lifestyle changes provides the best results. 

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in supporting women’s health, offering gentle, effective treatment for a range of conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, incontinence, postnatal recovery, and symptoms related to menopause. Whether you are recovering after childbirth, managing ongoing symptoms related to a condition, or simply looking to feel more in control of your pelvic health, our physiotherapists are here to guide you every step of the way. 

Surgery 

If your condition does not respond to non-surgical treatment, or if a more definitive solution is required, your consultant may recommend a surgical procedure. This can include minor surgery such as a laparoscopy carried out on a day-case basis, or more advanced surgery when appropriate. Many procedures are minimally invasive, helping to reduce your recovery time and support a faster return to normal activities. 

Your consultant will ensure you access the best possible treatment for your condition.  

How can a laparoscopy help diagnose gynaecological conditions?

A laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows your gynaecologist to examine the organs inside your pelvis in detail. It is often used when symptoms such as pelvic pain, infertility, or abnormal findings on scans cannot be fully explained through non-invasive testing such as an MRI scan.  

During a laparoscopy, a small incision is made in your abdomen, usually near the belly button, and a thin camera (laparoscope) is inserted. This allows your consultant to view the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding structures directly on a connected screen. Because it provides a clear and detailed view of the inside of your pelvis, a laparoscopy is considered one of the most accurate ways to diagnose most gynaecological conditions. 

It is commonly used to investigate conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic adhesions, and unexplained pelvic pain. In many cases, treatment can also be carried out at the same time, such as removing cysts or endometrial tissue with specialist instruments, reducing the need for further procedures. 

Laparoscopy is typically performed under general anaesthetic but is often as a day-case procedure. Recovery is usually quicker than with traditional open surgery, with smaller incisions, and less post-operative discomfort. 

Your consultant will explain whether laparoscopy is appropriate for your symptoms and what to expect before, during and after the procedure, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your care. 

Gynaecology and your emotional wellbeing 

Conditions such as endometriosis, PMOS/PCOS, and menopause-related changes can be particularly challenging, as they may cause persistent symptoms that interfere with your daily life. You may find that these issues affect your confidence, sleep, relationships, and ability to carry out normal daily tasks.  

In some cases, uncertainty around symptoms or delays in diagnosis can also lead to anxiety and frustration. 

Hormonal fluctuations can play a key role in emotional health. Changes in your oestrogen and progesterone levels can influence your mood, contributing to symptoms such as irritability, low mood, and anxiety. 

Accessing specialist care can help you better understand what is happening in your body and give you a clear, structured plan for managing your symptoms. Having a diagnosis and a definitive approach to treatment often brings reassurance and a greater sense of control. 

At Werndale Hospital, your care is designed to support both your physical and emotional wellbeing. By addressing symptoms early and providing personalised treatment, the aim is to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and in control of your health.
