Question 1

When Should I See a Gynaecologist in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Here are some situations in which you should make an appointment to see a gynaecologist:
1. If you notice signs and symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, painful menses, cramping, abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal itching, menopausal symptoms that affect your quality of life, and so on.

2. If you are having infertility issues: If you are having difficulty conceiving, it is best to see a gynaecologist as soon as possible because female fertility declines rather quickly once past the age of 35; and there could also be other contributing factors to be addressed.

3. If it is a routine, annual check-up: It is generally recommended to schedule an annual check-up with your Singapore gynaecologist. This will ensure that any gynaecological issues can be detected and treated early. Your reproductive and sexual health can also be closely monitored.

4. If you have never seen a gynaecologist before: If you as an adult woman have never seen a gynaecologist before for gynaecological screening, or if your daughter has started puberty, it is generally recommended to schedule a gynaecological visit to ensure that everything is normal.

Question 2

What Can I Expect at My First Visit with a Gynaecologist?

Accepted Answer

It is quite normal to feel a bit anxious prior to your first visit to see a gynaecologist. However, you do not need to be, as Dr Christopher Ng (our dedicated gynaecologist) will make you feel at ease and is adept at providing supportive, professional and evidence-based treatments that address your needs.
During your first visit to a Singapore gynaecologist, you can expect a detailed review of your medical history, a discussion on your menstrual and sexual health (if you are sexually active), a physical examination (if deemed necessary), as well as vaccination and screening recommendations. The gynaecologist will also answer any questions you may have pertaining to your reproductive health.
