Private women's health services in Birmingham at The Vesey cover the full range of female healthcare needs — from routine cervical screening and contraception to complex gynaecological conditions, menopause management, and reproductive health. Our team of female and male consultants includes gynaecologists with subspecialty expertise, allowing us to provide a level of clinical depth not always available in general practice.

Gynaecology Services at The Vesey

Our gynaecology service is one of the most comprehensive at any private clinic in the Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield area. We offer consultations and procedures for menstrual disorders including heavy periods, irregular cycles, and dysmenorrhoea; polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); endometriosis; fibroids and ovarian cysts; and pelvic pain.

Surgical gynaecology services including hysteroscopy, colposcopy, endometrial biopsy, and laparoscopy are available through our consultant gynaecologists, who operate at partner surgical facilities accessible from our Sutton Coldfield clinic.

All gynaecological consultations are conducted in a private, confidential clinical environment. You are seen by a consultant, not a junior doctor. The consultation includes a full history, clinical examination where appropriate, and a clear management plan with time to ask questions.

Menopause and Perimenopause Care

Menopause and perimenopause affect women across a wide age range, with some patients experiencing significant symptoms from their late 30s. Symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, cognitive effects, joint pain, reduced libido, and vaginal dryness can significantly affect quality of life, relationships, and work performance.

NHS menopause support has improved but remains inconsistent. Some patients experience long waits for menopause specialist appointments, or receive only limited guidance at GP level. At The Vesey, a dedicated menopause consultation includes a full hormonal assessment, consideration of HRT options (including body-identical hormone therapy), and an individualised management plan developed with you.

Follow-up menopause appointments allow your treatment to be reviewed and adjusted as needed. Our consultants are experienced in current HRT prescribing guidelines and can advise on risks and benefits in the context of your personal health history and family history.

Cervical Screening, Contraception and Sexual Health

Private cervical screening at The Vesey is available without the 3–5 year waiting cycle of the NHS programme. This is particularly useful for women who are overdue a smear, those who have missed an NHS recall, or those who prefer a private clinical setting for intimate procedures.

Contraception consultations cover all available methods, including oral contraceptives, the coil (IUD and IUS), implant, injection, and barrier methods. Our clinicians take time to discuss the options most suitable for your health profile, lifestyle, and plans for the future.

Our sexual health service offers confidential STI testing, treatment, and counselling. We use the same laboratory standards as NHS sexual health clinics, with results typically available within 24–48 hours. All consultations and results are completely confidential.

Reproductive Health and Fertility

For women considering pregnancy, our reproductive health service provides pre-conception advice, health optimisation, and investigation of any concerns before trying to conceive. We can assess hormonal health, nutritional status, and cycle regularity to give you the best possible foundation for a healthy pregnancy.

For those experiencing difficulty conceiving, an initial private fertility consultation at The Vesey can provide clarity far sooner than NHS referral timelines typically allow. Our consultants can assess both partners, arrange appropriate investigations, and guide you through options including referral to a specialist fertility centre.

Antenatal and postnatal care consultations are also available for women who prefer private support during and after pregnancy, providing continuity of care outside the standard NHS pathway.
