Fertility
Female fertility begins to decline from the age of 30, with one in every 6 couples facing fertility issues i.e. to get pregnant.
Our consultants are trained specialists in fertility medicine and guide you through which tests and treatments are best suited for every individual couple.
What happens during your appointment?
Our hernia specialists are here to help. During your initial consultation, they’ll work with you to get a clear picture of your situation. Here’s what you can expect:
Discussing Your Symptoms – First, you’ll have a chance to explain what you’ve been experiencing. Be open about any pain, discomfort, or changes you’ve noticed in the area.
Reviewing Your Medical History – your consultant will ask about your overall health, past surgeries or illnesses, any medications you take, and allergies you have. This helps them understand your unique situation.
