Service
General Gynaecology



Gynaecologists specialise in women's health, focusing on the female reproductive system. They address a wide range of issues including puberty, menstrual disorders, fertility concerns, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), hormone disorders, fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopause, and more.


When is it necessary to see a gynaecologist?

You should see a gynaecologist whenever you experience concerns related to your reproductive health. These might include pelvic, vulvar, or vaginal pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding, or unusual discharge. It’s recommended that all sexually active women schedule an annual Pap smear. If the test results show that the HPV virus, which causes cervical cancer, is absent, you are considered at low risk for cervical cancer and may repeat your Pap smear every 3–5 years.

At what age should I start visiting a gynaecologist?

Gynaecologists care for women and girls at all stages of life. It is advisable for girls to begin visiting a gynaecologist by the age of 13 if they experience menstrual issues or severe acne. Establishing a relationship with a gynaecologist ensures that girls and women feel comfortable asking questions about menstruation, sexuality, and other body-related topics. Dr. Moagi recommends that women from the age of 21 visit a gynaecologist for a Pap smear and other screenings, regardless of their sexual activity.

Here’s a general guideline:

Ages 21–29: Every three years, as long as results remain normal.

Ages 30–65: Every three years with a Pap smear alone. Every five years if combined with HPV testing (co-testing) or with HPV testing alone.

After 65: Screening may be discontinued if there is a history of consistently normal results and no high-risk factors.

Women with risk factors—such as a history of abnormal Pap smears, HPV infection, a weakened immune system, or previous cervical cancer—may require more frequent testing. Always consult your doctor for personalised recommendations

What can I expect during my gynaecological visit?

The specifics of your visit will depend on the reason for the consultation and your unique situation. For a first visit, Dr. Moagi will ensure you feel at ease and will ask questions regarding your menstrual cycle, sexual activity, and general medical history to assess your health and lifestyle.

Dr. Moagi will conduct a general check-up, including an examination of your heart, lungs, chest, thyroid, blood pressure, and urine tests. An examination of your reproductive organs is essential, which may involve using a speculum to inspect your cervix and ensure your uterus and ovaries are healthy.

Dr. Moagi will guide you through the entire process to keep you informed and comfortable. Depending on the visit, you may undergo a Pap smear (a procedure that collects a sample from your cervix for testing) and a pelvic ultrasound to assess the condition of your uterus and ovaries.

What happens after the consultation?

Following your visit, Dr. Moagi may schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your Pap smear results and any additional test outcomes. If necessary, medication or treatments will be prescribed based on your results.

What are common procedures performed by gynaecologists?

Gynaecologists are trained to perform various diagnostic and surgical procedures, including:

Diagnostic Methods:

  • Pap smear tests
  • Ultrasound scanning
  • Colposcopy (microscopic examination of the cervix)
