A guide to healthcare throughout your life

We’re dedicated to providing leading healthcare for every stage of a woman’s life. Below, we’ll guide you on what to look out for throughout your life and what we can offer to help.

Preventative care and health screening

Whatever your age, preventative care is key in stopping any concerns from developing into larger problems. If you’re worried about symptoms you’re experiencing, we’re here to help with our comprehensive diagnostics. Whether it’s a blood or urine test, an ultrasound or cervical screening, our aim is to give you the full picture of your health and get you to the specialist for you.

Periods and menstrual health

If something in your menstrual cycle changes, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem, but it’s always best to have it checked out. Our gynaecology experts in Hale and Wilmslow can scan for, diagnose and treat a range of menstrual disorders, from an absence of periods through to fibroids. We also offer specialist endometriosis services to diagnose and treat this often-overlooked condition.

Sexual health

While it might not be something you’ve considered, and something that’s not always easy to discuss, our clinical sexologists are here to listen and help you navigate any sexual concerns you may have. It might be a tricky subject at first, but lots of people find taking this first step very liberating. We offer support for a range of concerns, including loss of sexual desire and pain during sex, as well as specialist support for women recovering from cancer or who have recently given birth.

Maternity care

As a mother-to-be, it won’t just be your health you’re thinking about, it’ll be your baby’s too. Using the expertise from The Portland Hospital, we provide comprehensive care at Hale throughout your pregnancy journey. When you’re first thinking about starting your family, our fertility investigations can give you the assurance you’re looking for. After conception, our midwife-led antenatal services or consultant-led packages will be there to make sure everything is progressing well, whether you’re high or low risk, with ultrasounds from our expert sonographers to help with any concerns you may have. You’ll be seen by our specialist pregnancy team, including Dr Emma Shawkat, an expert in managing hypertension during pregnancy, Dr Koon Loong Chan, an obstetrics ultrasound specialist, andDr Philip Bullen, who offers a comprehensive range of services to expectant mothers, including those with high-risk pregnancies.

And once you’ve given birth, whether that’s at The Portland Hospital in London or elsewhere, our Well Baby clinics in Hale will support you through the learning process of parenthood.

Menopause and living well as you age

As you go through the menopause, our teams in Hale and Wilmslow can help you tackle the challenges and symptoms that accompany it. We’ll work with you to draw up a treatment plan built around your needs and provide treatment options that offer relief.
