Understanding your body, at every stage.
Women's health needs change throughout life. Whether you're navigating menstrual concerns, seeking cervical screening or have questions about a specific condition, Dr Shilla — a female gynaecologist and Muslim gynae in Singapore — provides clear, compassionate and informed care.
Period Problems
Changes in your menstrual cycle — irregularity, heavy bleeding, pain, or the absence of periods — can affect daily life and may signal an underlying issue worth exploring.
Common reasons women seek care
- Periods that are consistently irregular or unpredictable
- Heavy bleeding that interferes with daily activities
- Significant pain during menstruation
- Bleeding between periods or after intercourse
- Periods that have stopped for several months
Cervical Health & Pap Smears
Cervical screening plays an important role in detecting changes early, when they are most manageable. An abnormal Pap smear does not always mean something is wrong, but it does warrant follow-up.
Common reasons women seek care
- Routine cervical screening is due
- An abnormal Pap smear result has been received
- Concerns about HPV and cervical health
- Questions about colposcopy or follow-up procedures
- Seeking guidance on cervical health at different life stages
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are common and often benign. Many are found incidentally and may not require treatment, but some can cause symptoms that warrant assessment.
Common reasons women seek care
- Pelvic pain or a feeling of fullness
- A cyst has been identified on an ultrasound
- Irregular bleeding alongside pelvic discomfort
- Concerns about cysts and fertility
- Seeking guidance on monitoring versus treatment
Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths that may or may not cause symptoms. Understanding their size, location and impact helps guide whether they need management.
Common reasons women seek care
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pressure or a feeling of fullness
- Fibroids identified during a routine examination
- Concerns about fibroids and fertility or pregnancy
- Seeking a second opinion on management options
Endometriosis & Adenomyosis
Endometriosis and adenomyosis can cause significant pain and impact many aspects of life. Diagnosis can take time, and compassionate, informed care can make a meaningful difference.
Common reasons women seek care
- Severe period pain that affects daily life
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Difficulty conceiving
- Seeking a diagnosis or a second opinion
