Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about consulting with Dr Siseko Mzendana. If your question is not answered here, send an enquiry and the practice will get back to you.

What does an OBGYN do?

An obstetrician and gynaecologist looks after both pregnancy and women's reproductive health. Obstetrics covers pregnancy, labour and the period after birth, while gynaecology covers conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, cervix and the rest of the reproductive system. Dr Siseko Mzendana is a specialist in both, so the same doctor can support you through fertility, pregnancy, gynaecological concerns and menopause.

Do I need a referral to see Dr Mzendana?

Patients are welcome to contact the practice directly to arrange a consultation, and many are also referred by a general practitioner or another specialist. If you are unsure whether your concern needs a specialist appointment, contact the practice and the team will advise you.

Where does Dr Mzendana consult?

The main consulting rooms are at Netcare Linksfield/Linkwood Hospital in Linksfield West, Johannesburg. Dr Mzendana also consults at Netcare Rosebank Hospital and Netcare Lakeview Hospital in Benoni. Availability differs by location, so please confirm with the practice when you book.

How do I book an appointment?

Call the practice on 011 485 3232, send a WhatsApp message to 068 291 8763, or complete the form on the contact page. Let the team know which location suits you best and what your appointment is for, so enough consultation time can be set aside.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring your ID, your medical aid card and details, and any previous results, scans or referral letters relating to your concern. A list of medication you currently take and the date of your last menstrual period are also useful. If you are pregnant, bring any antenatal records you already have.

Which services does the practice offer?

The practice covers fertility and preconception care, pregnancy care, labour and delivery, menstrual health and pelvic pain, fibroids, endometriosis and ovarian conditions, cervical health and cancer screening, menopause care, women's sexual health, and emergency and acute gynaecology. Each service is explained in more detail on its own page above.

What if I have an urgent gynaecological problem?

Sudden severe pelvic pain, heavy bleeding or a similar acute concern should be assessed promptly. Contact the practice on 011 485 3232, and read more about what to expect on the emergency and acute gynaecology page. If you cannot reach the practice and your symptoms are severe, go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

How often should I have a cervical screening test?

Screening intervals depend on your age, your previous results and your individual risk factors, so the right interval is something to discuss at your consultation. The cervical health and cancer screening page explains what the test involves and what happens if a result needs follow-up.
