Women’s Health

See our doctors for a women’s health check. Our GPs are can organise sexual health screens, PAP smears, breast examination, pregnancy planning and review of menstrual cycles.

Our doctors are trained in management of women’s health conditions such as menstrual problems, urinary problems, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and peri-menopause or menopause. Some women also experience pain on intercourse or pelvic pain. We can help you investigate and address these issues in a sensitive manner.

Doctors at Crown St medical centre can offer individualised contraceptive advice to find the best option for you.

Our experienced GP’s can help you plan your pregnancy to get the best start possible. If you are planning on starting a family or have been trying and have difficulty conceiving, it is important to see your GP.

IUD Insertion and Removals
Dr Sneha Kaushal is able to insert and remove Mirena IUDs (Intra-Uterine Device). Mirena is a long term contraceptive device that sits in the uterus and is completely reversible. It works physically and releases a low dose progesterone hormone. It is an alternative contraceptive option offering the convenience of 5 years contraception without having to remember to take anything daily. The Mirena IUD is also used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and pain with many women having lighter and less frequent periods (or none at all). Thus, it is also used as a treatment option for those with endometriosis and heavy periods such as in menorrhagia. It can be used when breastfeeding and is also an option for those on oestrogen HRT.

IUD removals can be easily removed earlier than 5 years if required. IUD removals are performed by Dr Sneha Kaushal, Dr Meena Pistilli, and Dr Thao Nguyen. For more information on our doctor's and their special interests, please click here.
If you would like to know more about Intra-Uterine devices (IUDs) and the Mirena, please schedule an appointment with Dr Kaushal for a pre-insertion appointment.
