i.Women’s health resources

Preparing for a better consultation

Neutral, practical guidance to help you make the most of your time with the doctor. General information only; it is not diagnosis or treatment advice.

ii.Questions

Write your questions down

It is easy to forget things once you are in the room. A short written list keeps the conversation on what matters to you.

  • What is the main concern I want to discuss today?
  • When did it start, and has it changed?
  • What would I like to understand by the end of this visit?
  • What should I do next, and when should I return?
  • Which symptoms mean I should seek emergency care?

iii.Records

Keep your records together

A single folder, physical or on your phone, saves time and helps the consultant see the full picture.

  • Previous prescriptions and consultation notes
  • Laboratory reports and scan reports, in date order
  • A current list of medicines, including supplements
  • Known allergies
  • A simple diary of menstrual dates or symptoms, if relevant

iv.Discussion topics

Things you may want to mention

Menstrual health

  • When your periods started and how long your cycle usually is
  • Changes in flow, timing or pain you have noticed
  • The first day of your last period
  • How symptoms affect daily life, work or study

Pregnancy & antenatal

  • The date of your last period, if known
  • Previous pregnancies and any reports from them
  • Questions you and your family want answered
  • Where you plan to go for delivery and emergencies, since RGOH does not provide these
