Why Choose a Female Gynaecologist?
Gynaecology appointments can involve personal conversations and physical examinations. Some women simply feel more at ease with a female gynaecologist, whether that comes from a cultural or religious preference, a first appointment, or a past experience that makes appointments feel daunting. Whatever your reason, it’s a valid one, and our team will help you book with a doctor who suits you.
Our female gynaecologists care for women at every life stage, from adolescence through to menopause and beyond. Common reasons to book include:
- Heavy or painful periods, including menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea
- Prolapse and incontinence
- Abnormal cervical screening results and colposcopy
- Minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic surgery and hysteroscopy
Female Obstetricians for Pregnancy and Birth
Choosing an obstetrician is a personal decision, and the relationship often begins before you conceive. Our female obstetricians care for women from preconception planning through pregnancy, birth and the weeks after your baby arrives.
They look after both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies, including women with underlying medical conditions or complications in a previous pregnancy. Create Health obstetricians deliver at several Melbourne maternity hospitals, including Waverley Private, Cabrini, Jessie McPherson Private and St John of God. When you book, our team can tell you which hospitals each doctor delivers at.
