Tick what you are experiencing and find out how urgently it should be seen, and by whom.
Most women wait far longer than they should before raising a gynecological symptom, usually because it is hard to know whether something counts as normal. This tool covers 42 of the symptoms seen most often in clinic, grouped into five areas. Select whatever applies and it will tell you how soon to be seen, which kind of appointment fits, and what to have ready when you get there. It deliberately does not tell you what condition you have. Symptoms overlap heavily in gynecology, and guessing from a list would be misleading. What it will do is make sure nothing that needs urgent attention gets sat on, and make your consultation more useful when you have one.
Tick everything that applies. The more you select, the more useful the guidance.

Four things, none of them a diagnosis.
Whether what you selected needs care today, an appointment in the next week or two, or a routine booking. Anything on the urgent list is flagged individually.
The symptoms are matched to the right area of care, whether that is menstrual problems, PCOS, pelvic pain, obstetrics or fertility, with a link to each.
A short list of the dates, medicines and results worth having to hand, so the first consultation is spent on your problem rather than on history-gathering.
It will not name a condition. Heavy bleeding alone can be fibroids, adenomyosis, a thyroid problem, a clotting disorder or nothing structural at all.
A symptom list is only as good as what you do with it.
The pattern matters more than any single symptom. Painful periods alone reads very differently from painful periods with painful bowel movements and pain during sex, which together point somewhere specific. Tick the minor things too.
If the result flags something urgent, please do not wait for a convenient appointment. Bleeding in pregnancy, sudden severe one-sided pain, reduced fetal movements and a new breast lump all need to be seen quickly, and almost always turn out to be manageable when they are.
Write down the dates and timings before you come in. Doctors work from patterns over time, and a patient who can say the last three period dates gets to a diagnosis considerably faster than one who says it has been irregular for a while.
Whatever else is going on, these need same-day attention rather than an appointment next week.
This tool works from a list you tick. There is a great deal it cannot see, and being clear about that is part of using it safely.
Most gynecological diagnosis rests on examination, ultrasound and bloods. Fibroids, cysts, endometriosis and polyps are found by looking, not by describing. A tool like this can only tell you that looking is warranted.
Irregular periods can be PCOS, a thyroid disorder, raised prolactin, stress, weight change, perimenopause or several other things. Each is treated completely differently, and telling them apart needs tests rather than a longer questionnaire.
How much a symptom is affecting your life matters as much as the symptom itself. Period pain that keeps you off work every month deserves investigation even though period pain is common, and no checkbox captures that.
The symptom list and the urgency thresholds assume an adult woman. Adolescent gynecology has different norms, particularly in the first years after periods begin, so please book directly rather than relying on this.
A consultation with examination and the right tests will do in one visit what no amount of online reading can. Dr. Grishma Ranjangaonkar has over 15 years of experience across gynecology, fertility and obstetrics.
No, and that is deliberate. Gynecological symptoms overlap far too much for a checklist to separate them. Heavy bleeding alone could be fibroids, adenomyosis, a polyp, a thyroid problem or a clotting disorder, and each needs a different treatment. What the tool does instead is tell you how urgently to be seen and which appointment fits, which is the part you can actually act on.
No. There is no database behind this and nothing is transmitted. The whole thing runs in your browser, and closing the page clears it. If you want to keep your list, write it down or screenshot it before you leave.
Bleeding in pregnancy, severe abdominal pain in pregnancy, sudden severe one-sided pain with a positive test, reduced fetal movements after 24 weeks, sudden facial swelling with headache or visual changes, contractions before 37 weeks, and bleeding heavy enough to soak a pad every hour. If you have any of these, contact the clinic or go to an emergency department rather than waiting for an appointment.
Usually yes. Many of the conditions treated here start mild and are far easier to manage early, and several of the symptoms women dismiss as normal, such as periods painful enough to disrupt work, are not. A routine appointment costs you an hour and often ends the uncertainty.
Yes, there is a pregnancy category, and the urgency thresholds in it are deliberately low. In pregnancy the sensible bias is towards being checked. Anything you select from that group that is flagged urgent should be acted on the same day.
Because cycle length and its variability are among the most informative things you can bring to a gynecology consultation, and almost nobody remembers them accurately on the spot. Three dates let a doctor see whether your cycle is regular, long, short or erratic, which narrows the possibilities immediately.
Not necessarily. Several common conditions produce a long list of symptoms at once, PCOS being the obvious example, and they are manageable. The number you tick affects which areas of care are suggested, not how worried you should be. Urgency is driven by which specific symptoms you selected, not how many.
Typically a history, an examination, and usually a pelvic ultrasound on the same visit. Depending on what is found, blood tests follow. Most women leave the first consultation with either an answer or a clear plan for getting one, which is generally quicker than people expect.
