When should I schedule my first gynaecological visit?
At Galleria Women’s Health, we recommend that young women schedule their first gynaecological visit between the ages of 13 and 15, even if a pelvic exam isn’t needed yet. This visit is more about creating a safe space to ask questions, learn about your body, and build a trusted relationship with your provider.
-
How often should I get a Pap smear or cervical cancer screening?
Cervical cancer screening guidelines depend on your age and history. For most women, we recommend starting Pap smears at age 21 and continuing every 3 years. After age 30, we often combine Pap smears with HPV testing, which may extend the screening interval to 5 years. At Galleria, we follow national guidelines but always personalise your plan based on your unique history, comfort, and risk factors.
-
Can I visist for a gynaecological exam if I’m on my period?
Yes, light to moderate bleeding usually doesn’t prevent us from completing your visit. However, if you’re having a heavy flow and are due for a Pap smear or internal exam, we may suggest rescheduling for accuracy and comfort. Still, if you're in pain or have urgent concerns, don’t delay, we’re here to help anytime, period or not.

What types of services does Galleria Women’s Health offer?
We provide comprehensive gynaecological care across every stage of life. This includes annual exams, birth control counselling, STD testing, menopause and hormonal support, PCOS care, adolescent gynaecology, sexual wellness treatments (like ThermiVa or PRP), in-clinic procedures, pelvic pain evaluations, and fertility assessments. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, we provide care that’s thorough, respectful, and tailored to you.
-
Do I need to be sexually active to see a gynaecologist?
Not at all. Gynaecological care is about more than sexual health. Even if you’re not sexually active, it's important to monitor your cycle, hormonal balance, and general reproductive wellness. Our goal is to make sure every woman, regardless of age or relationship status, has access to the knowledge and care she needs to stay healthy.
-
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Before your visit, it’s helpful to track the start date of your last period and write down any symptoms or questions you want to discuss. If you're coming for a Pap smear or STD test, avoid intercourse, douching, or using vaginal products 24 hours beforehand for the most accurate results. But don’t worry, we’ll guide you through everything once you arrive.
-
What should I expect during a pelvic exam? Will it be painful?
A pelvic exam includes an external check, an internal exam using a speculum, and sometimes a bimanual check to feel your uterus and ovaries. At Galleria, we prioritise your comfort. We explain every step, go at your pace, and stop any time you need. If you're anxious or have past trauma, let us know; we’ll adapt our approach with sensitivity and care.
-
Can I talk about emotional or mental health during my visit?
Absolutely. Your emotional well-being is just as important as your physical health. Whether you're experiencing mood shifts, stress, anxiety, or symptoms of depression, we provide confidential support, screening tools, and guidance. If needed, we connect you to trusted mental health professionals who understand women’s needs.
