Some health conversations are easier with a doctor you feel comfortable with. As a female GP, Dr Sweety Syed offers a calm, private and unhurried space to talk about your health, whatever your age or stage of life.
Women's health care with Dr Sweety
Contraception, IUDs and Implanon
Advice on all contraceptive options so you can choose what suits your body and your plans. Dr Sweety performs copper and hormonal IUD insertions and Implanon insertions and removals in clinic, usually after an initial consultation to plan the procedure.
Cervical screening
Cervical screening tests are recommended every five years for women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 74. Ask about the option of collecting your own sample.
Periods, hormones and PCOS
Heavy, painful or irregular periods, suspected PCOS or endometriosis, and other hormonal symptoms, with investigations and specialist referral when needed.
Pregnancy planning and antenatal care
Pre-conception checks, supplements and vaccinations, fertility questions, and GP antenatal care through pregnancy, working with your chosen hospital or obstetrician.
Perimenopause and menopause
Hot flushes, sleep changes, mood, periods and bone health: an individual plan for perimenopause and menopause, including a clear discussion of whether menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is right for you, and regular review.
Iron deficiency
Heavy periods and pregnancy are common causes of low iron. When tablets aren't suitable or haven't worked, Dr Sweety can arrange an in-clinic iron infusion.
Breast health, sexual health and wellbeing
Breast checks and screening advice, STI testing, and support for mood, stress and emotional wellbeing, including mental health care plans.
