Are you putting off treatment for a gynaecological condition because you feel stressed or embarrassed?
As a highly experienced specialist gynaecologist located in Ipswich, Queensland, Dr Siva provides professional diagnosis, management and treatment of a wide range of general gynaecological conditions in a caring and compassionate manner.
You’ll receive the most up-to-date information and the best treatment for your gynaecological condition, using the most advanced technologies and surgical procedures.
Many gynaecological conditions can be treated medically and don’t require surgery. If surgery is required for your general gynaecological condition, the majority of procedures can be performed using laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, which allows you to recover more quickly with fewer side effects than open abdominal surgery.
