We understand that family planning and contraception are pivotal considerations at every stage of family life. Whether you are contemplating starting a family, expanding it, or simply looking for effective contraception methods, our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is here to support and guide you through the decision-making process.
We recognise that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to contraception. Each individual’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle are unique, and we are committed to providing personalised care tailored to your specific requirements. Our experienced doctors will take the time to engage in open and informative discussions with you, ensuring that you are well-informed about the variety of contraception options available.
Preparing for pregnancy is a vital step towards a healthy journey to parenthood. A pre-conception check-up at Skin and Health Medical offers tailored guidance for optimal health before conception. Our team provides advice on lifestyle adjustments, ovulation tracking, and reviews underlying medical conditions. Genetic disease checks and counselling are integral components, allowing early detection and planning. We aim to empower you with the knowledge and support needed for a successful and healthy pregnancy journey.
Embarking on pregnancy is thrilling but comes with questions. Ensuring pregnancy confirmation, monitoring foetal growth, and choosing a doctor are vital. We recommend starting prenatal care at 4-6 weeks post-missed period. Our doctors offer comprehensive care for early pregnancy, covering lifestyle adjustments and addressing concerns. Around 10 weeks, private obstetricians can be considered, and by 21 weeks, transition to public hospital antenatal clinics. At Skin and Health Medical, our goal is to provide supportive and tailored early pregnancy management for a smooth journey.
Facing fertility challenges? Our team at Skin and Health Medical is here to provide expert care. Our doctors offer advice and referrals for sub-fertility, tailoring guidance to your unique situation. We discuss medical history, lifestyle factors, and provide advice on optimising fertility. For specialised assistance, our doctors can refer you to reputable fertility specialists and clinics. We aim to address both the medical and emotional aspects of fertility concerns, providing empathetic support throughout your journey. At Skin and Health Medical, we empower you with information and support to make informed decisions about your fertility.
Following childbirth, it is advisable to schedule a follow-up GP visit at around six weeks postpartum, aligning with your baby’s 6-week checks. This visit ensures comprehensive care for both mother and baby, addressing any physical recovery concerns and offering guidance on essential aspects of postpartum health. Our healthcare professionals at Skin and Health Medical are dedicated to providing support for lactation issues, offering practical solutions and compassionate care to navigate this transformative period with confidence and well-being.
The perinatal and postnatal period can bring about a range of emotions for new mothers, and at Skin and Health Medical, we are attuned to the challenges that may arise. Our compassionate healthcare professionals understand the complexities of perinatal and postnatal mental health and are dedicated to providing support and guidance. Recognising the importance of emotional well-being during this transformative journey into motherhood, our team is equipped to identify and address signs of depression and anxiety. We offer tailored interventions, counselling, and a supportive environment to help navigate the emotional nuances of this period, fostering a sense of resilience and well-being for both mother and baby.
