Care for women’s health
The antenatal clinic
We have a full antenatal and postnatal service provided by our midwives. Your care will be shared between the midwives, the doctors and the hospital. The antenatal clinics are held every Tuesday in Gowerton and Penybryn and each Wednesdays at Penclawdd.
As soon as you know you are pregnant, you should avoid smoking and alcohol and take folic acid which you can get from the chemist.
Contraception services
The doctors and nurses provide advice on all types of family planning. Dr. Thornley, Dr Edwards, Dr Grey and Dr Bizby specialise in hormone implants (nexplanon/implanon) and IUCD (coils).
For emergency contraception advice, you need to see any of the female doctors as soon as possible, and not more than 72 hours after having unprotected sex.
Cervical Smears
All women between 25 and 65 should have a cervical smear test every five years (unless you've had an abnormal smear). You will get a letter reminding you when your smear test is due. You should make your appointment to see the practice nurse about halfway between periods.
Gofalu am iechyd menywod
Y clinig cyn-geni
Mae gennym wasanaeth cyn geni ac ôl-enedigol llawn a ddarperir gan ein bydwragedd. Bydd eich gofal yn cael ei rannu rhwng y bydwragedd, y meddygon a'r ysbyty. Cynhelir y clinigau cyn geni bob dydd Mawrth yn Nhre-gŵyr a Phenybryn a phob dydd Mercher ym Mhenclawdd.
Cyn gynted ag y gwyddoch eich bod yn feichiog, dylech osgoi ysmygu ac alcohol a chymryd asid ffolig y gallwch ei gael o'r fferyllydd.
Gwasanaethau atal cenhedlu
Mae'r meddygon a'r nyrsys yn rhoi cyngor ar bob math o gynllunio teulu. Mae Dr Thornley, Dr Edwards, Dr Gray a Dr Bizby yn arbenigo mewn mewnblaniadau hormonau (nexplanon/implanon) ac IUCD (coils).
Ar gyfer cyngor atal cenhedlu brys, mae angen i chi weld unrhyw un o'r meddygon benywaidd cyn gynted â phosibl, a dim mwy na 72 awr ar ôl cael rhyw heb ddiogelwch.
Profion Ceg y Groth
Dylai pob merch rhwng 25 a 65 gael prawf ceg y groth bob pum mlynedd (oni bai eich bod wedi cael ceg y groth annormal). Byddwch yn cael llythyr yn eich atgoffa pryd y disgwylir eich prawf ceg y groth. Dylech wneud eich apwyntiad i weld nyrs y practis tua hanner ffordd rhwng misglwyf.
