About women's health
Women's health testing spans two departments that usually sit apart. The imaging side covers mammography, pelvic and obstetric ultrasound and HSG tube testing; the laboratory side covers the hormone panels behind irregular periods, fertility questions and thyroid symptoms, along with the iron and vitamin D deficiencies that are widespread here and straightforward to correct once found.
Having both under one roof is the practical point. A fertility work-up needing an AMH level, a thyroid profile and a tube test is one visit here, rather than a laboratory, a radiology centre and two separate report collections.
Screening is the other half. A mammogram can show a change years before it can be felt, and a Pap smear detects cervical cell changes at a stage where they are easily treated. Neither is urgent on any given day, which is exactly why they get postponed.
When your doctor sends you here
- Routine screening — a mammogram, or a Pap smear that is due
- Irregular, heavy or absent periods
- Difficulty conceiving, or a fertility work-up your doctor has asked for
- Confirming a pregnancy, or the bloods requested at a first antenatal visit
- A breast lump, pelvic pain or unexplained bleeding
- Tiredness, hair fall or low mood being investigated
How to prepare
- A pelvic ultrasound usually needs a full bladder; an abdominal scan usually needs six hours of fasting. We tell you which applies when you book.
- Book a Pap smear for a day you are not menstruating, and avoid vaginal creams or pessaries for two days beforehand.
- A mammogram is easier in the week after a period, when breast tissue is least tender. Skip talc and deodorant that morning.
- HSG tube testing is scheduled in the first half of the cycle, after bleeding has stopped and before ovulation.
- Tell us if you are or might be pregnant before any study using X-rays.

Common questions
Does a mammogram hurt?
The compression is briefly uncomfortable, and it is what keeps the radiation dose low and the image sharp. It lasts a few seconds per view, and booking in the week after a period makes it noticeably easier.
How often should I have a Pap smear?
That is a conversation for your doctor, because the interval depends on your age, your previous results and your history. What is worth knowing is that the test finds cell changes long before they become a problem, which is the whole reason the interval can be measured in years.
Which fertility tests can be done at home?
The blood work — AMH, prolactin, thyroid and the rest — can all be collected at your door at no charge. Ultrasound and HSG tube testing need the equipment and have to be done at the centre.
