At INVICTA Clinics, we have been looking after women’s health at every stage of life for over 25 years. We fully understand how patients’ needs change as the years go by. Thanks to our expertise in the field of intimate and reproductive health, we provide comprehensive care tailored to the needs of both younger and mature women.
Menstrual cycle disorders, painful periods, irregular bleeding or problems with ovulation can affect women’s fertility – both now and in the future. That is why our aim is not only to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment, but also to offer reliable education that helps patients make informed choices about their reproductive health at every stage of life.
Cancer prevention is one of the most important aspects of women’s healthcare. Regular screening tests, such as smear tests, mammograms and ultrasound scans, enable changes to be detected at a very early stage, often before any symptoms appear. The scope and frequency of screening should be tailored to a woman’s age and individual risk factors. Early diagnosis of cancers affecting women significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and, in many cases, a complete cure. Our aim is to support cancer prevention and raise health awareness amongst women.

The most important screening tests include:
Perimenopause is the period leading up to the menopause, characterised by a gradual decline in hormone production, which leads to changes in the menstrual cycle and the onset of the first symptoms of the menopause – hot flushes, sleep problems, mood swings and vaginal dryness. Managing these symptoms usually involves a healthy diet, regular physical activity and relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation. In some cases, pharmacological treatment, such as hormone therapy, may be recommended.
Among the worrying changes in the menstrual cycle, the most significant is irregularity, particularly when cycles become significantly shorter or longer than usual. Heavy bleeding that requires frequent changes of sanitary towels or tampons, the absence of periods for several months, and severe period pain that becomes difficult to bear should be cause for concern. Spotting between periods may also indicate abnormalities that require further investigation.
Changes that may indicate hormonal imbalances include:
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body becomes less sensitive to insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. To maintain normal blood sugar levels, the pancreas produces more insulin, which can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is also linked to hormonal problems, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Treatment involves dietary changes, regular physical activity and, in some cases, medication to improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
