Breaking taboos around women’s health
Here at VIDA Clinics, we recognise the importance of open discussion and inclusivity in healthcare. If our guests aren’t comfortable telling us about their problems, how can we hope to provide world-class treatment? In particular, we want women to feel confident enough to speak openly to our experts about gynaecological issues. Our clinic spaces are designed to be supportive, allowing clear discussion of the range of treatments and private medical services we offer.
Whatever your issue is, we’re here to help. If you’re experiencing bleeding between periods, abnormal discharge, unexplained pelvic pain, or increased anxiety in relation to gynaecological problems, don’t hesitate to contact VIDA Clinics for a quick, friendly and informative consultation.

What to expect from a gynaecologist consultation
Although it may seem intimidating to talk to someone about your reproductive health, a consultation with a medical professional can provide lots of valuable information about your personal health. A gynaecologist is able to diagnose a wide range of sexual and reproductive issues in women, as well as providing private tests and services. These could include:
- Physical examinations of the pelvis and external genitalia.
- Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Family planning birth control.
- Testing for issues relating to the menopause or menstruation.
Whatever the basis of your consultation, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that VIDA Clinics’ staff will treat you with respect. We are here to provide the best level of care for our guests, which means taking the time to listen to their situation, their concerns, and what they aim to get out of the treatment.
Supporting sexual health
At VIDA Clinics, our goal is to provide private medical services that have as few barriers to entry as possible. One particular area of focus is sexual health services for both women and men. Alongside gynaecology, you’ll find options for other types of testing that are relevant for sexual health. This includes Blood Tests, rapid Blood Testing, and the VIDA Healthcheck. All of these are available without excessively long wait times, allowing our guests to have a say over when they receive treatment. If you’re ever in doubt as to your symptoms, book to see a private GP through VIDA Clinics and get the answers you need.

What does gynaecology mean?
Gynaecology refers to the area of medicine responsible for treating diseases specific to women and conditions affecting the reproductive organs in women. Gynaecologists provide these services from puberty all the way through to the menopause.
What are some examples of gynaecological conditions?
Gynaecological problems can vary greatly in severity and affect a range of different areas. Common examples include:
- Uterine Fibroids
- Cervical Dysplasia
- Menstrual Disorders
- Pelvic Pain
- Pelvic Floor Prolapse
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
- Urinary incontinence
Why would I be referred to a gynaecologist?
Common reasons for women to be referred to a gynaecologist are due to unusual bleeding patterns, pelvic swelling, pain, or abnormalities in the vulva. Although there can be other less regular symptoms that also warrant a referral.
What is considered ‘normal’ vaginal discharge?
The colour, consistency, and smell of vaginal discharge are largely influenced by hormone fluctuations in the body. As such, you may notice discharge become clearer and stringier during ovulation. Otherwise, a creamy and white discharge is often the norm for women.
Are period cramps normal?
Period cramps (Dysmenorrhea) are a regular occurrence for many women during menstruation, although the severity will be different for everyone. If the paid is severe, ie prevents you from doing everyday activities, it’s advised that you consult a qualified gynaecologist.
