132 Harley Street provides a full range of care for women and treat diverse issues ranging from pre-menstrual syndrome to the menopause. They offer sexual health screening, gynaecological testing for various female specific disorders and an extensive maternity service for pregnant clients.
Gynaecological Screening Tests
Gynaecological screening tests that are available include:
Smear tests to check for abnormal cervical cells that may indicate an increased risk for cervical cancer
HPV screening tests
PAP tests
Tests for sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) like chlamydia, gonorrhoea or syphilis
Vaginal swabs for candida (thrush), group B strep, trichomonas and other vaginal infections
Urine tests to check for urinary infections
Biopsies
These are only a few of the screening tests that are offered either for peace of mind as part of a ‘well-woman’ check or as diagnostic tools to identify the cause of a medical problem.
132 Harley Street can give each woman a welcoming and supportive service. Their experienced experts can treat conditions like:
Uterine Fibroids – These benign tumours of the uterus don’t usually cause symptoms but can affect a woman’s ability to become pregnant or increase the risk of miscarriage if she does become pregnant.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease – This infection of the pelvic organs results from a sexually transmitted infection. Untreated it can cause sterility.
Endometriosis – A condition where the lining of the womb grows outside of the uterus, for instance, on the fallopian tubes. This can cause pelvic pain and may block the fallopian tubes or result in scarring.
Vulval Pain Disorders – Vulval pain disorders are surprisingly common but can have a devastating effect on a woman’s life. Vulvodynia is one disorder involving constant vulval pain in the absence of infection or other known cause. Damaged nerve fibres transmit pain signals. The woman may experience a burning sensation when she attempts to have sexual intercourse or if she wears tight jeans.
Stress Incontinence – This can occur in women after childbirth because of the pressure that has been exerted on the pelvic floor muscles. If the woman sneezes or coughs, she may find that she leaks urine. Women at special risk include those who have had long labours and those with multiple previous pregnancies.
