Period pain, changes in bleeding or vaginal concerns deserve a conversation. An assessment can help distinguish possible causes and identify an appropriate care plan.

Painful periods affecting daily life

Vaginal discomfort or discharge
Pelvic pain and other concerns
OUR APPROACH
Thoughtful assessment.
Personalised next steps.
Look beyond one symptom
The doctor may discuss an examination, tests or imaging based on your history. Different causes require different approaches; a symptom alone does not establish a diagnosis.
Discuss manageable next steps
Treatment discussions depend on the cause, severity and your preferences. Ask about follow-up and what changes should prompt further assessment.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CARE
Care that starts with understanding your symptoms.
Understanding your bleeding pattern
Share how often your periods occur, how long they last, how heavy they are and whether there is bleeding between periods or after intercourse. Pain, medicines and the impact on daily life are also relevant.
A simple cycle diary can be useful; note dates, symptoms and any changes from your usual pattern.
Assessment tailored to the concern
History guides whether an examination, blood test, pregnancy test, ultrasound or another investigation may be appropriate. The doctor will explain the purpose of a recommended examination and seek your consent.
Symptoms such as discharge, itching or discomfort may need a different assessment from irregular bleeding.
Discussing treatment choices
Care may address pain, bleeding, infection or an underlying condition, depending on the assessment. Some concerns can be managed with medicines; others may need further evaluation or referral.
Tell the doctor about pregnancy plans and current contraception because these can affect treatment choices.
Privacy and comfort during your visit
You can discuss intimate symptoms without embarrassment, ask why an examination is suggested and raise any concerns before it begins.
Share past experiences or worries that may help the doctor make your consultation more comfortable.
Monitoring changes and follow-up
Discuss when improvement should be reviewed and what changes need earlier advice. Bleeding after menopause should be assessed even if it happens only once.
If heavy bleeding is accompanied by faintness, chest pain or shortness of breath, seek urgent medical care.

Read the first-visit guide →YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A little more clarity.
What should I record before my visit?
Note period dates, duration, how heavy the bleeding feels, pain and any bleeding between periods. Bring previous reports and prescriptions.
Should bleeding after menopause be checked?
Yes. Bleeding after menopause should be assessed by a clinician, even if it is light.
When should I seek urgent care?
Very heavy bleeding with dizziness, faintness, breathlessness or chest pain needs urgent medical attention. Do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.
Should I come while I am on my period?
You can still seek advice about period concerns. Tell the clinic about your symptoms when booking; whether a particular examination or test should be timed differently can be discussed.
Will I always need an internal examination?
No. The need depends on your symptoms and assessment. The doctor should explain a recommended examination and discuss your consent and comfort.
What should I record before my visit?
Note period dates, bleeding duration, pain, bleeding between periods and medicines taken. Bring previous scans or blood reports if you have them.
