Heavy periods: causes and treatment options
It can be very unpleasant living with heavy periods, especially if it affects your daily activities. Thankfully, they can be treated and here one of our leading gynaecologists Mr Andrew Baxter explains the possible causes and gives a detailed explanation about all of the possible treatment options available.
Hysteroscopy: is it a painful procedure?
If you're tired of living with heavy or irregular periods, your specialist can perform an investigation called a hysteroscopy and find out why this is. One of our top gynaecologists Mr Andrew Baxter explains whether it is a painful procedure and whether there are any risks.
What to expect during and just after a hysteroscopy
Your gynaecologist may need to perform hysteroscopy in order to have an up-close view of your uterus and cervix to look for any abnormalities. One of our specialists Mr Andrew Baxter explains everything that you need to know during and just after the procedure.
