Female reproductive health pertains to the wellbeing of the reproductive system. Screening procedures in gynaecology are important steps that facilitate preventative medicine. With such procedures in place, various gynaecological conditions can be detected and treated early resulting in favourable treatment outcomes. Common areas of screening for the maintenance of this continued health involve a pap smear, HPV test, vaginal discharge test, blood tests, as well imaging.

A pap smear test is a screening test where a gynaecologist takes samples from a patient’s cervix to detect presence of abnormal or pre-cancerous cells. These samples are referred for laboratory testing where a diagnosis is made. Similar to the pap smear is a Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) test. The HPV test consists of the same sample collection procedure as the pap smear. It, however, aims to test specifically for strains of the virus that are high-risk for cancer.

Contraception and Family planning forms part of the important areas of our gynaecology practice. We offer hormone and non-hormone based contraceptive options, as well as surgical options.

As far as managing gynaecological medical conditions, Dr Sefanyetso offers endoscopic gynaecological procedures that are minimally invasive and have a reduced recovery time.
