From puberty through menopause, a woman's reproductive organs are constantly changing through the normal processes of sexual activity, pregnancy and ageing, and sometimes disease and injury. Dr Motsema is recognized as an expert gynaecologist in Cape Town and has a proven track record of excellent outcomes.
He understands that patients may be shy about these private and sensitive health issues. The thought of seeing a doctor, especially for the first time, and discussing intimate issues may cause anxiety for some women. Dr Mostema is a specialist you can feel comfortable with.
It is helpful to know your personal and family medical history. Dr Motsema will ask about existing medical conditions, medications, and past surgeries. It can be hard to remember these things, especially if you’re nervous, so it's useful to write it down beforehand. Dr Motsema may also ask about your mother's health history and any family history of blood clots, as this information can help determine what birth control methods and gynaecological treatments are best for you.
