What Is Gynaecology?
Gynaecology is the area of medicine focused on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix and vagina. It also covers hormonal health, menstrual wellbeing, pregnancy-related care and preventive screening.
Regular gynaecological assessment can help detect concerns early, manage symptoms effectively and provide reassurance about your reproductive health. Whether you need advice, screening, investigation or pregnancy support, our clinicians are here to help.

Pregnancy Scans & Early Pregnancy Care
MedicaPlus offers private pregnancy ultrasound scans in Grays to provide reassurance and early insight into your pregnancy. These scans are suitable for patients seeking early confirmation, reassurance or monitoring outside standard NHS schedules.
Pregnancy scans may include:
Early reassurance scans
Typically performed in early pregnancy to confirm the location and viability of the pregnancy and estimate gestational age.
Dating scans
Help determine how far along the pregnancy is and provide an estimated due date.
Wellbeing scans
Assess foetal growth, heartbeat and general pregnancy progress.
Pelvic ultrasound scans
Used where symptoms such as pain or bleeding require further assessment.
All scans are performed by trained clinicians using professional ultrasound equipment in a calm and supportive environment. You will receive clear explanations and a written report where appropriate.
Please note: private pregnancy scans complement NHS maternity care and do not replace routine antenatal appointments.
