A little preparation helps me understand your situation fully at your first appointment, and means that we can spend our time on what matters most to you.

Reports and letters

Scan reports from any previous ultrasound or MRI scans, and the images themselves if you have them on a disc or a download link.
Operation notes and discharge letters from any previous surgery, including caesarean sections and procedures inside the womb.
Letters from your GP or from other specialists you have seen about the same problem.
Blood results from the past year, if you have them.
Reports from your fertility clinic, if you are having fertility treatment, including any hysteroscopy or scan reports.

If you can, send copies before your appointment, so that I can review them in advance: my practice manager, Helen, at pa@migynaecology.com, will send you a secure link to upload them.

Practical details

Your insurer’s pre-authorisation number, if you are using private medical insurance, and your membership number.
A list of your current medicines, including the contraceptive pill, HRT or any supplements, and any allergies.
The date your last period started, and a rough idea of your usual cycle.
If your symptoms come and go, a short diary of when they happen can be very helpful.

On the day

Wear something comfortable, in case I need to examine you or perform a scan.
Write down the questions you would like to ask, so that nothing is forgotten.
You are welcome to bring someone with you. A chaperone is always available for any examination.

If you have any questions before your appointment, please call the practice on 020 8175 1333 or email my practice manager, Helen, at pa@migynaecology.com.
