A COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVE & AFFIRMING CARE
We are deeply committed to creating a healthcare environment that celebrates diversity and respects every patient’s identity. We recognise that reproductive and gynaecological healthcare is often a sensitive area for transgender and gender-diverse individuals, and our approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and medical excellence.
Every consultation with Dr Anisha is designed to empower patients with knowledge, ensure comfort during examinations or procedures, and provide treatment options that align with their physical health and personal goals.
UNDERSTANDING THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF TRANSGENDER HEALTH
Transgender and gender-diverse individuals often have distinct gynaecological health considerations that require specialised care. Dr Anisha’s expertise covers a broad range of services, from hormone-related care to preventive screening and surgical support. She provides a safe space for all patients to discuss their health concerns openly and without judgement.
Our care extends across the spectrum of gender identity and expression, ensuring access to the same standard of evidence-based gynaecological care as any other patient, but delivered with added understanding of the complexities that gender-diverse patients may experience within the healthcare system.
HORMONAL HEALTH & REPRODUCTIVE CARE
Hormonal therapy can influence reproductive and gynaecological health in several ways. Our team provides medical support and monitoring for individuals undergoing hormone therapy, ensuring that treatments are safe, balanced, and aligned with long-term wellbeing.
We offer advice on how hormone treatments may affect menstruation, fertility, and pelvic health and provide reproductive planning support for individuals who wish to preserve fertility before or during transition. Our care is based on a thorough understanding of both the medical and emotional aspects of hormonal change.
CONTRACEPTION & FERTILITY PLANNING
Regardless of gender identity, contraception and fertility planning are important aspects of reproductive health. Dr Anisha provides inclusive contraceptive counseling for transgender and gender-diverse patients, offering options that suit each person’s physical and hormonal needs.
For those who wish to have biological children in the future, Dr Anisha can assist in discussing fertility preservation options prior to surgical or hormonal interventions. Every consultation is handled with sensitivity and confidentiality, ensuring that patients can make informed choices about their reproductive futures.
CERVICAL SCREENING & PREVENTIVE CARE
Preventive care is essential for maintaining reproductive health. We offer cervical screening, pelvic examinations, and colposcopy services for all individuals with a cervix, regardless of gender identity. Our team ensures that these procedures are performed in a comfortable, respectful, and inclusive setting, using trauma-informed techniques and clear communication to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
Dr Anisha also educates patients about the importance of regular health screenings and how they fit within a broader plan of care, particularly for those undergoing hormone therapy or surgical transition.
SURGICAL & POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Dr Anisha is highly skilled in providing medical and post-surgical support for individuals who have undergone or are planning gender-affirming surgery. She offers both preoperative assessments and postoperative follow-up care, ensuring that every stage of surgical recovery is supported with professional guidance and empathy.
CREATING A SAFE & SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
For many transgender and gender-diverse individuals, accessing medical care can be daunting. We strive to provide an inclusive clinical space where every patient is respected and addressed in alignment with their identity and pronouns.
Our focus on inclusivity extends beyond treatment; it’s reflected in every interaction, from the initial consultation to ongoing care. This commitment to respect and authenticity helps ensure that all patients feel comfortable discussing their health without fear of bias or misunderstanding.
