Many women experience a variety of these problems after giving birth, and OPPMP provides personalised consultations with time to discuss postpartum health concerns in depth. This allows a clinical assessment of the problems and how they might be linked, as well as discussion of up-to-date treatments and possible further interventions. All the appointments are with the founding doctor, Dr Catherine Quarini.
