While the exact cause of Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) isn’t fully understood, research suggests a link between insulin resistance and elevated androgen levels. For many women, being overweight can further disrupt hormone balance and intensify symptoms.

PCOS can also run in families, so if your mother or sister has it, you may be at higher risk.

If you're experiencing irregular periods, acne, unwanted hair growth, or difficulties with fertility, please get in touch.

Many women quietly struggle with Urinary Incontinence or Vaginal Laxity, but there is an effective, non-invasive solution.

The FDA-cleared BTL Emsella Chair uses high-intensity electromagnetic technology to deeply stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, essentially offering the benefits of thousands of Kegel exercises in one comfortable session.

No medication. No surgery. No downtime. Just science-backed support for bladder control and pelvic wellness.

The Emsella Pelvic Floor Trainer is available at my practice in Somerset West, helping women restore confidence and improve their quality of life.

If you've been told you may need a hysterectomy, I know it can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone, and there are gentle, effective options available.

I offer Laparoscopic Hysterectomies in my practice, a minimally invasive procedure done under general anaesthetic, using small incisions to remove the uterus (and sometimes the cervix) with precision and care.

One of the reasons I often recommend this approach is because of the quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. Most women can return to their routines much sooner compared to traditional surgery.

Every woman’s body and story is unique, and I’m here to walk you through your options with compassion and clarity.

If you're considering a hysterectomy, or just want to chat about what’s best for your health, visit www.drelizabethhugo.co.za or call my office on 021 851 1900.

PCOS is a lifelong condition, but with the right care, it’s manageable.

If you're experiencing symptoms like facial or body hair growth, persistent acne, male-pattern hair thinning, irregular cycles, or struggling to fall pregnant, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I’m here to help you understand your body, explore treatment options, manage symptoms, and support your fertility journey. Together, we can reduce the long-term health risks associated with PCOS and work toward your wellness goals.

Call 021 851 1900 to book your consultation - compassionate, personalised care is just one step away.

It’s just a few minutes that could save your life.

A mammogram is one of the most powerful tools we have for detecting breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear. If you’re over 40 or have a family history of breast cancer, make sure you’re up to date with your screening.

Your health is worth prioritising. Your peace of mind is priceless.

Let’s talk about the “oops” moments...

Laughing too hard? Sneezing unexpectedly? Jumping on a trampoline? If any of those come with a little leak, don’t worry, you're not alone (and you're not stuck with it either!)

The BTL Emsella Chair does your Kegels for you. One 30-minute session = thousands of muscle contractions to strengthen your pelvic floor, all while you sit comfortably, and fully clothed.

No surgery. No downtime. Just results. And a whole lot more confidence.

Let me help you laugh without limits! Call 021 851 1900 or visit www.drelizabethhugo.co.za

While a general surgeon will lead your breast cancer treatment, my role is to walk beside you, supporting your health in every way I can.

As a gynaecologist, I’m here to help you navigate the gynaecological effects of hormone-suppressive therapy after surgery and ensure that your well-being is cared for holistically.

Your fight is my fight. It’s a privilege to be part of your care team and to stand with you through every stage of your journey.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women in South Africa, and the number of cases is steadily rising.

While white and Asian women currently face the highest risk, Black and Coloured women are not far behind. Awareness, early detection, and regular check-ups are crucial for all women, regardless of background.

If you have any concerns about your breast health or overall well-being, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in South Africa, a time that’s deeply close to my heart.

As a gynaecologist, I’ve walked alongside many women through some of their most difficult moments. Diagnoses, treatment, recovery, and sometimes, heartbreaking loss.

This month, I want to honour the brave survivors, those still fighting, and the loved ones we've lost. I’ll be sharing important information about breast cancer, but more than that, I’ll be celebrating the strength, courage, and resilience of every woman who has faced this journey.

You are not alone. I see you. I support you. And I stand with you.
