Gynaecological Check-up
Gynaecological check-up in Cork (Ireland)
A gynaecological check up in Cork (Ireland) helps you stay on top of your reproductive health through regular assessment and appropriate screening. In this appointment we review your symptoms and history and advise on the most suitable examinations and tests for you.
Why annual gynaecological check-ups matter
Regular gynaecological check-ups help protect your long-term health and quality of life. In general, we recommend a routine review once a year. In some cases, more frequent visits may be advised (for example, if you have ovarian cysts, fibroids, persistent symptoms, or a relevant medical history).
What’s included in a gynaecological check-up
Your check-up in Cork is tailored to your age, symptoms and personal history. Depending on your case, it may include:
A follow-up appointment to review results and next steps
A detailed medical history and symptom review
Pelvic examination (if appropriate)
Cervical screening guidance (smear test) when indicated
High-resolution gynaecological ultrasound (transvaginal/abdominal as appropriate)
Breast examination and imaging guidance when needed (breast ultrasound / mammogram)
When to book your first check-up
There’s no single “perfect” age. Many women book their first gynaecology appointment when they become sexually active (for contraception advice such as the coil/IUD or oral contraception), or if they experience discomfort.
You can also book even if you have never had intercourse—especially with irregular or painful periods, itching, pelvic pain, or any concern you’d like assessed.
Does a check-up hurt?
A gynaecological check-up should not be painful. It can feel uncomfortable, but it shouldn’t hurt. We’ll explain every step and adapt the examination to your comfort.
Smear test & HPV: how often?
Screening intervals depend on your age and personal history. We’ll advise you on the appropriate schedule for cervical screening and HPV testing based on Irish/European recommendations and your situation.
