Get a clearer route to specialist gynaecology care
Heavy or abnormal bleeding, fibroids, prolapse, persistent pelvic symptoms and uterine conditions can significantly affect everyday life. If you have been advised that you may need planned gynaecology surgery, or treatment is delayed in Ireland, Surgery Now can help you explore a specialist pathway in Spain.
Specialist assessment before treatment
Gynaecology care can include investigations, medical treatment and surgery. Your specialist reviews your diagnosis, symptoms, scans or reports and previous treatment before recommending a procedure such as hysterectomy or another appropriate pathway.
Reasons patients may need specialist review:
- Fibroids or uterine problems: including symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pressure or persistent discomfort.
- Pelvic organ prolapse: when symptoms are affecting comfort, function or daily activity.
- Hysterectomy assessment: when surgery has been recommended or is being considered after specialist review.
- Persistent pelvic symptoms: where further specialist investigation or planned treatment may be appropriate.

Hysterectomy, fibroid and prolapse treatment in Spain
The right treatment depends on your diagnosis, investigations, symptoms and previous treatment. Surgery Now helps coordinate the appropriate specialist review before any procedure is confirmed.
Hysterectomy & Uterine Surgery
If hysterectomy has been recommended or is being considered, a specialist reviews your diagnosis, previous treatment and investigations before confirming whether surgery is appropriate and which approach is suitable.
Fibroid & Uterine Treatment
Fibroids can cause heavy bleeding, pressure or other symptoms. The specialist assesses the size, location, symptoms and previous treatment before recommending the most appropriate medical or surgical pathway.

How HSE repayment is calculated
For eligible Cross Border Directive care, the HSE repayment is generally the lower of the amount paid for healthcare abroad and the cost of the same healthcare in Ireland's public system. Any shortfall remains the patient's responsibility.

Check My EligibilityFrequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about hysterectomy, fibroids, prolapse, treatment costs, HSE reimbursement and travelling from Ireland to Spain.
What gynaecology treatments can be assessed?
Specialist pathways may include hysterectomy assessment, treatment for fibroids and other uterine conditions, pelvic organ prolapse and other planned gynaecology care. The appropriate treatment depends on your diagnosis, investigations, symptoms and specialist assessment.
Can hysterectomy or other gynaecology surgery be reimbursed by the HSE?
Planned healthcare abroad may be eligible under the Cross Border Directive when HSE criteria are met and the healthcare is available through the Irish public system. The HSE determines eligibility and the amount that can be repaid.
How much can the HSE reimburse?
For eligible care, HSE reimbursement is generally limited to the lower of the amount paid for healthcare abroad and the cost of the same healthcare in Ireland's public system. Any difference is normally paid by the patient.
Do I need to pay for treatment upfront?
The Cross Border Directive operates as a reimbursement scheme, so patients generally pay the healthcare provider first and then apply to the HSE for repayment with the required documentation.
Can I check HSE eligibility before travelling?
For inpatient or day-case treatment, you can apply to the HSE for prior notification before travel. This can confirm whether you are eligible to apply and provide an indication of the potential repayment amount.
What does gynaecology surgery cost in Spain?
The final cost depends on your diagnosis, procedure, hospital care and related treatment. Surgery Now can provide a clear treatment quote after specialist review and before you decide whether to proceed.
Do I need a confirmed diagnosis before enquiring?
Not always. Existing scans, reports, consultant letters or a GP referral can help the specialist review your case, but you can still enquire if you need guidance on the next step.
Will Surgery Now help with travel and accommodation?
Yes. Surgery Now assists with hospital appointments, accommodation, transfers and practical arrangements. Travel and accommodation costs should not be assumed to be reimbursable under the HSE Cross Border Directive.
