Gynecology

Yes. The Papanicolaou test (Pap test) is performed in clinic according to Quebec recommendations: generally every 3 years for women aged 21 to 65 who are sexually active. It detects abnormal cells in the cervix before they can become cancerous. Screening for STIs (HPV in particular) can be combined depending on your profile. Our team will explain the results and ensure the necessary follow-up.

Yes. We treat common and recurring vaginal infections, including: yeast infections (vulvovaginal candidiasis), bacterial vaginosis, vaginitis (trichomoniasis, atrophic vaginitis), and irritation. We identify the cause, offer targeted treatment, and support you in preventing recurrence. For recurrent infections, further investigation may be recommended to identify predisposing factors.

Absolutely. Teleconsultation is ideal for discussing different contraceptive options, assessing which best suits your needs (pill, patch, vaginal ring, hormonal or copper IUD, implant, emergency contraception), managing side effects, or adjusting your current method. However, the physical insertion of an IUD or implant requires an in-person consultation.

Yes. We evaluate your menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, mood swings, decreased libido) and propose a personalized management plan. This plan may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT) based on your risk profile, non-hormonal options, lifestyle advice, and long-term follow-up. Perimenopause is also managed from the first symptoms.

Yes, for menstrual cycle, hormonal, and contraceptive follow-ups, laboratory result analysis, menopause symptom management, prescription-based STI screening, and evaluation of mild vaginal infections. An in-person consultation remains necessary for Pap tests, insertion or removal of an intrauterine device, acute pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, or any gynecological physical examination.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus (ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum). It affects approximately 1 in 10 women. Typical symptoms include severe pelvic pain (especially during menstruation), painful sexual intercourse, severe cramps, heavy bleeding, and sometimes fertility issues. Diagnosis is clinical and can be confirmed by imaging or laparoscopy. Specialized follow-up is recommended.

PCOS is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular or absent periods, excess androgens (acne, excessive hair growth), and often polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. It can be associated with insulin resistance and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. Management includes dietary changes, regular physical activity, hormonal medications, and long-term monitoring based on your goals (cycle regularity, fertility, metabolic health).

Ideally, schedule your appointment outside of your menstrual period if a Pap smear or vaginal swab is planned. Avoid douching, sexual intercourse, or intimate products for 24 to 48 hours beforehand. Bring your medical and gynecological history, a list of your current medications and contraceptives, and your latest test results if available. Don't hesitate to write down your concerns in advance so you don't forget anything.

Yes. Preconception care aims to optimize your health before conceiving: assessment of your general health, medication review, folic acid prescription, vaccination checks (rubella, chickenpox, whooping cough), advice on nutrition and lifestyle habits, genetic screening based on history, and updating recommended check-ups. Ideally, this consultation should take place 3 to 6 months before the desired conception.
