Heavy or abnormal periods: private pathway and costs

At The Vesey Private Hospital in Sutton Coldfield, the private pathway for heavy or abnormal periods starts from a guide £260 and is set out step by step below, with a guide cost for each stage. This page is navigational and educational — it does not provide a diagnosis or replace personalised medical advice.

This guide explains the typical private pathway at The Vesey in Sutton Coldfield for women looking into heavy, painful or irregular periods, and the guide cost of each step. It is navigational information to help you plan, not a diagnosis. Which investigations you need is decided with a gynaecologist.

When to seek urgent help: If you have very heavy bleeding that soaks through protection quickly, feel faint or breathless, or have bleeding after the menopause, seek prompt advice — call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.

The pathway, step by step

  1. 1

    Gynaecology consultation

    A gynaecologist reviews your history and symptoms, examines you where appropriate, and discusses which investigations or treatments would help.

  2. 2

    Ultrasound, if advised

    A pelvic ultrasound can give a clearer picture of the womb and ovaries when the consultation indicates it would help direct care.

  3. 3

    Hysteroscopy, if advised

    A hysteroscopy uses a fine telescope to look inside the womb and is arranged when a specialist judges it would help explain symptoms or guide treatment.
