Conditions & care
Dr Tan provides medical and surgical care for a wide range of women’s health conditions, offering personalised support and clear guidance at every stage of life.
Conditions
Abnormal bleeding
Refers to bleeding between periods, very heavy periods, or bleeding after menopause. It can have many causes, including hormonal changes, fibroids, polyps, or other underlying conditions.
Period problems
Can include heavy bleeding, painful periods, irregular cycles, or missed periods
Pelvic pain
A common but often complex symptom that can affect women at any stage of life. It may be caused by a range of gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, or pelvic infections.
Endometriosis
A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb, often causing pain, heavy periods, and fertility issues.
Adenomyosis
A condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall, causing heavy periods, pelvic pain, and cramping.
Fibroids
non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, often causing symptoms like heavy periods, pelvic pain, or pressure.
Ovarian cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside the ovaries. While often harmless and symptom-free, some cysts can cause pain or affect menstrual cycles.
Abnormal cervical screening tests and colposcopy
Expert assessment and care through colposcopy, a precise, painless procedure to closely examine the cervix, identify any changes and guide effective treatment to keep you healthy and reassured.
