At my practice, your comfort, dignity, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe in a transparent, trusting relationship with each of my patients because you deserve nothing less.

Exciting news! After dedicated training and hands-on surgical experience, I’m proud to share that I am now a fully qualified robotic surgeon.

Robotic-assisted surgery is transforming the way we approach complex procedures, offering patients greater precision, smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and better outcomes. I'm incredibly grateful to have completed this advanced training and to now bring this cutting-edge option to my patients.

Here’s to combining compassion with innovation and continuing to provide the highest standard of care.

Ovarian cancer often whispers before it shouts, with symptoms that are easy to overlook.

As a gynecologic oncologist, I know how powerful early detection can be. Symptoms like persistent bloating, pelvic discomfort, or changes in appetite and urination may seem minor, but they matter. Listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right, speak up.

Awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis, and that can make all the difference.

You can call my office on 021 851 1900 to book an appointment or visit www.drelizabethhugo.co.za for more information.

Laugh without leaking. Sneeze without stress. Cough with confidence.

If little “oops” moments are interrupting your life (or your laughs), you’re not alone, and you don’t have to just live with it.

The BTL Emsella Chair, available at my practice, is a non-invasive, fully clothed treatment that strengthens your pelvic floor muscles, helping improve urinary incontinence and vaginal laxity without surgery or medication.

It’s like doing 11,000 Kegels in 30 minutes, minus the effort.

If you're ready to sit down and take control, you can call my office on 021 851 1900 or visit www.drelizabethhugo.co.za for more information.

Happy Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and beauty of women from all walks of life.

As a woman and a doctor, I’m reminded daily of how powerful and inspiring women truly are, not just in moments of triumph, but in the quiet courage they show through life’s challenges.

This Women’s Month, let’s honour our bodies, prioritise our health, and continue to uplift and support one another.

Here’s to you, strong, capable, and deeply worthy of care.

Laparoscopy has truly transformed modern gynaecological care.

This minimally invasive surgical technique uses small incisions and a camera to diagnose and treat a range of conditions, from sterilisation and ovarian cyst removal to more complex procedures like endometriosis surgery and pelvic pain investigation.

With faster recovery times, less scarring, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopy is now considered the gold standard for many gynaecological procedures.

If you're experiencing heavy periods, pelvic pain, or need a personalised women’s health check-up, I’m here to help.

You can contact my office by calling 021 851 1900 or visit www.drelizabethhugo.co.za to book a consultation.

Menopause isn’t a chapter to fear, but one to embrace. It’s a time to rediscover your inner strength, wisdom, and true self.

This transformation marks a new beginning, a chance to live more authentically, confidently, and with purpose.

The best is yet to come.

Struggling to sleep during menopause? You’re not alone.

Insomnia is a common symptom during menopause and can take a real toll on your mood, energy, and overall well-being. But small changes can make a big difference. Here are a few simple tips to help you get better rest:

Unwind before bed: Take a warm bath, stretch gently, or read a book. Try to avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime.
Stick to a routine: Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day supports your body’s natural sleep rhythm.
Keep cool: Wear breathable sleepwear, use light bedding, and crack open a window to help ease hot flushes.
Move your body: Regular exercise during the day helps promote deeper, more restful sleep at night.

Better sleep is possible, even during menopause.
