Colposcopy
A colposcopy is a medical procedure where the cells of your cervix (the opening to your womb) and vagina are examined in detail under a microscope. If your doctor suspects you have abnormal cells, they will take a sample of cells called a biopsy during the procedure.
Myomectomy
A myomectomy is an operation to remove a fibroid (also known as a myoma), which is a non-cancerous tumour that grows in the uterus.
​
Fibroids can cause several symptoms, including painful and heavy periods, frequent urination, lower abdomen pain and problems with fertility. A myomectomy is carried out to resolve these symptoms.
HPV vaccination
The HPV vaccine is a vaccination that protects against diseases caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer, the second most common cancer in women under the age of thirty-five.

Endometrial ablation
An endometrial ablation operation is a procedure to destroy the lining (endometrium) of the womb (uterus). The most common reason for having an endometrial ablation is to get relief from the symptoms of heavy periods. Very heavy menstrual bleeding is also known as menorrhagia.
​
If you suffer from heavy periods, endometrial ablation should provide a noticeable reduction in your periods. In some cases, periods stop altogether.

Total laparoscopic hysterectomy
A hysterectomy describes the surgical removal of your womb (also known as your uterus).
A total hysterectomy involves the removal of both your womb and cervix. Both procedures are most commonly performed to treat problems that affect the female reproductive system. A total hysterectomy is the preferred option over a subtotal hysterectomy, because removing your cervix eliminates the risk of you developing cervical cancer at a later stage.
After having a hysterectomy, you will no longer experience periods or be able to get pregnant. Some women will experience symptoms of the menopause, but not all. It can eliminate chronic pelvic pain, bloating, and heavy bleeding, among other symptoms.

Diagnostic laparoscopy
A laparoscopy and dye test is a surgical procedure used to investigate fertility problems. A flexible camera called a laparoscope is inserted through a small incision (cut) in your abdomen. Images from the camera are transmitted to a monitor allowing your surgeon to look for any problems that could be stopping you from getting pregnant.
During the procedure, blue dye is injected into your cervix (the opening of the womb) to check that your fallopian tubes (the tubes that carry an egg to your womb) are not blocked.
