Period Problems (Menstrual Disorders)
Heavy periods cause major disruption to a woman's working and social
life by causing fatigue, tiredness, pain and anaemia. There can be accidents and embarrassment.
Management of heavy periods (can regular or irregular) has come a very long way and it is no longer a case of hysterectomy
for everyone. There are a variety of safe and effective treatments
including Mirena®, Novasure® endometrial ablation and Laparoscopic Hysterectomy. Around 3 out of 10 women end up needing some form of treatment for their heavy periods.
Anil will discuss the investigation and treatment options with you so
that care can be tailored to your individual needs and wishes.
Where a hysterectomy is considered, all the pros and cons are
discussed including the options of preserving the Cervix and the Ovaries and talking about the Fallopian tubes. The options as above are discussed in detail without medical jargon as they can be confusing, including different recovery times, success rates, side-effects and possible complications.

“I have really enjoyed every meeting with Dr Anil Sharma. He is so charismatic. Such a nice feeling to know your problems are being handled in such a professional way. He is very caring, really funny, sympathetic, interesting and also interested in what you have to say. I am so lucky to have him alongside me when I have any gynecology problems. Right from the time you enter his rooms, at reception you are taken great care of by Anne - his lovely receptionist - and then usually very little wait time, you are then safe and secure in the knowledge you are getting the best care and attention you could possibly ask for.

“If you are looking for a specialist who will listen to you and involve you completely in the treatment plan then Anil is your man. After several very successful years under his care I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

“Dr Sharma is an outstanding practitioner. He is clearly well-versed in the area of Gynaecology and can discuss with you the pros and cons around even the newest advances in the field to help you make an informed choice. He also takes the time to ensure that you fully understand what lies ahead. Rest assured, you are in safe hands.

“Very happy with the level of care and service from Dr Anil Sharma and his Practice Manager Anne. Anil is very understanding and knowledgeable and puts you at ease the moment you walk in. His personal level of care for you pre, during and post Surgery is exceptional. Would not hesitate to recommend Anil as a Gynaecologist and Surgeon.

“Do you go off your gut feeling? I do, and I had to push my way through the health system to get answers and failed along the way. Until I met Dr. Sharma and all my issues made sense. A very clear, focused, caring Doctor/ Surgeon that listens and explains very clearly on what is the best outcome is for your health issue. I had a hysterectomy, I'm 50 and without his skill and experience I would have never recovered from my surgery so quickly. From pre-surgery, recovery, home recovery to complete recovery I was guided by Dr. Sharma and his nurse to allow for the best result possible from a surgery that I feared would change my life forever. Well it did and for the better! I'm 6 weeks post surgery back to my active life, feeling well and happy. I have much to be grateful for and so will you. Oh, and even though scars are part of your life story you may be concerned of those, Dr. Sharma considers those too and they are tiny! I know and have seen other post surgery clients who used someone else and the scars are very different to mine, much worse. A bit silly to focus on something so minute since good health means everything no matter the scar it leaves behind. Thank you Dr. Sharma

“I cannot thank Dr Sharma and Anne enough for their kind, compassionate and life-saving care. Anne went out of her way to find me an appointment when I was in a bind. Dr Sharma was amazing from the get-go, listened to my concerns, thoroughly explained my situation and immediately provided me with top notch medical care. I will forever be grateful.

“If you're looking for a gynecologist who'll listen and give you options and know about Endometriosis, who'll lay out a plan etc this is the Gynae for you.
Great at communicating, if surgery is the option you want to take then this is your Dr, will call on other specialists if needed to get a thorough tougher surgeries. I was grateful to have 3 surgeons for my 2nd Op as it was a lot more complicated this time round.
Easy to get answers if you're unsure of anything Anne is only an email or phone call away.
Highly reccomended helped me get diagnosed with Endometriosis, 2 surgeries later and I feel 100% no pain which is amazing and i know if it does come back Anil an Anne are only phone call / email away but hopefully I'm good for awhile 😊 😀
