Private Gynaecology in Surbiton

Private Gynaecology at Lambert Medical Practice — Surbiton

Lambert Medical Practice offers a comprehensive private gynaecology service at our clinic on 380 Ewell Road, Surbiton. Whether you are experiencing menstrual problems, seeking a subfertility consultation, managing PCOS or endometriosis, requiring pre-pregnancy counselling, investigating recurrent miscarriage, addressing adolescent gynaecological concerns, or needing contraception advice and fitting — we offer same-week appointments with no GP referral required.

NHS gynaecology waiting times for routine consultations routinely stretch to several months, and the wait for specialist investigations or follow-up after an abnormal smear can be particularly anxiety-inducing. Our clinic offers the same high clinical standards with direct access, longer appointment times, and faster results.

Cervical Screening

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. The NHS cervical screening programme calls women aged 25–64 every 3–5 years, but many women find it difficult to access timely appointments through their GP, have missed their recall, or simply want the reassurance of a sooner appointment. Private cervical screening offers an immediate appointment, results typically within days, and the option of a female clinician throughout.

What Cervical Screening Tests For

The current protocol tests first for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) — the primary cause of cervical cancer. If high-risk HPV is detected, the sample is examined for abnormal cell changes (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or CIN). The CIN grading system — CIN1, CIN2, and CIN3 — reflects the severity of abnormality. The vast majority of CIN is entirely treatable when identified early. If your result requires further investigation, we will advise on the appropriate next steps and refer you swiftly via the relevant NHS or private pathway.

Menopause, Perimenopause & HRT

Hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and reduced libido are real symptoms that respond well to the right treatment. Many women endure these for years without receiving a thorough hormonal assessment or a proper discussion of their options.

Our gynaecologist carries out a comprehensive menopause consultation — not a rushed 10-minute GP appointment — including a full symptom review, hormonal blood tests where indicated, and an informed discussion of all available treatments including systemic HRT, local oestrogen, and testosterone.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

HRT remains the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms. Options include transdermal oestrogen (gels, patches), oral oestrogen, and progestogen (Utrogestan). Current evidence confirms that transdermal HRT does not carry the same thrombosis risk as oral HRT — a distinction that is rarely explained adequately in a standard GP appointment. Our clinician will assess which formulation suits your clinical profile, personal history, and preferences, and will provide regular follow-up to ensure your hormonal levels remain in the therapeutic range.

Hormone Pellets

Hormone pellets are small implants — approximately the size of a grain of rice — containing oestradiol or testosterone. They are inserted under the skin (typically in the buttock) under local anaesthetic, in a brief in-clinic procedure. They release hormones continuously and proportionally to the body's demands over 3–6 months, avoiding the fluctuations associated with daily tablets, gels, or patches.

Each pellet lasts 3–6 months. They are particularly popular with active women who prefer stable hormone levels without a daily medication routine. At your consultation, your clinician will assess whether pellet therapy is appropriate for you, taking into account your hormone levels, symptom profile, and medical history.

Coil Fitting (IUD — Copper & Mirena)

Coil fitting (intrauterine device insertion) is carried out in clinic by our gynaecologist. We offer both the copper IUD (non-hormonal, effective for up to 10 years) and the hormonal Mirena IUD (effective for up to 5 years, and also clinically indicated for heavy periods and as the progestogen component of HRT in post-menopausal women).

The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes. You may experience some discomfort during insertion, similar to strong period cramps, which typically resolves quickly. Private coil fitting avoids the long waits at NHS GP practices and family planning clinics — often several weeks — and allows the procedure to be carried out in a calm, unhurried environment.

Why Choose Private Gynaecology?

NHS gynaecology provides excellent care but faces enormous pressure. Routine consultations, diagnostic investigations, and procedures all carry waiting times that many women find unacceptable when symptoms are significantly affecting daily life, fertility, or mental health.

HPV Testing

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the UK. Most infections clear naturally within 1–2 years, but persistent infection with high-risk strains — particularly HPV 16 and 18 — is responsible for approximately 99% of cervical cancers. NHS and private cervical screening now tests for high-risk HPV first. Private HPV testing allows you to know your status outside the NHS recall schedule — relevant after a new partner, if you have not had the HPV vaccine, or if you wish to understand your current risk profile.
