Firstly, the doctor will listen to your complaints and do an internal examination – vaginal echoscopy, cervix smear (PAP) test. Other tests will be done if needed. If a colposcopy exam is needed, it can be performed in the same room.  For the convenience of women patients, we have bathrooms adjacent to the gynaecologist’s room. These also have the full range of feminine hygiene products.  It is advised that you wear comfortable clothes to you appointment, in particular a longer shirt might make you feel more comfortable during the internal examination. The ideal time for a visit to the gynaecologist is immediately after your menstrual period, during the first half of the cycle. If the examination is carried out during the second half of the cycle, the physician can sometimes see some deceptive derivatives, and ask for a repeat visit. However, if you are experiencing unexpected bleeding or pain in the lower abdomen, you should see the gynaecologist immediately.
