Women's Health, Antenatal Care & Ultrasound Scans in Trichardt

Pregnancy requires attentive, reassuring medical oversight from your very first positive test through each trimester. At Terranova Medics in Trichardt, Dr C. Mbowane provides structured antenatal consultations designed to monitor both maternal health and foetal development in a calm, welcoming environment. At every antenatal visit, we check maternal blood pressure, urine dipstick markers (screening for proteinuria or asymptomatic infection), maternal weight, and foetal heart rate and growth.

Because Dr Mbowane holds qualifications in both general medicine and paediatrics (MBChB, FCPaed), expectant parents benefit from a practitioner who understands both maternal wellbeing during pregnancy and newborn health from the moment your baby arrives. When hospital delivery planning or high-risk obstetric specialist co-management is required, we coordinate referrals seamlessly.

• Early pregnancy confirmation, gestational dating, and baseline antenatal blood panels
• Monthly and third-trimester antenatal check-ups monitoring blood pressure and foetal growth
• Antenatal nutritional supplementation (iron, folate, calcium) and safe symptom relief
• Seamless transition to newborn and infant paediatric care after birth

Having on-site ultrasound capability at our Windmill Centre rooms allows patients in Trichardt, Secunda, Evander, and eMbalenhle to access timely sonar imaging during their consultation without travelling to separate radiology departments for routine assessments. During pregnancy, ultrasound scans confirm intrauterine pregnancy viability, estimate gestational age, check placental position, assess amniotic fluid volume, and monitor foetal growth.

Beyond pregnancy, point-of-care diagnostic ultrasound assists in evaluating pelvic pain, irregular menstrual bleeding, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and abdominal or renal symptoms during your clinical consultation.

• Early pregnancy viability and gestational dating ultrasound scans
• Routine antenatal foetal growth and wellbeing sonar assessments
• Pelvic and abdominal diagnostic ultrasound evaluations

Preventative screening is one of the most effective ways to protect women's long-term health. Cervical cancer remains highly preventable when precancerous cellular changes are detected early through regular liquid-based cytology Pap smears and HPV screening. At Terranova Medics, we perform gentle, respectful Pap smear screenings, clinical breast examinations, and pelvic health assessments in private consultation rooms.

Once your pathology laboratory results return, our reception team contacts you promptly to explain the findings and schedule any recommended follow-up or routine recall intervals.

• Cervical cancer screening via liquid-based cytology Pap smears
• Clinical breast examinations and referral for mammography when indicated
• Confidential screening and treatment for gynaecological and sexually transmitted infections
