Alison Deslandes is a gynecologist based in Adelaide, South Australia.
Her work focuses on women’s health, especially issues that can affect day-to-day life over months or even years. If you’ve had ongoing pelvic pain, changes to your periods, or hormone-related symptoms, this is the kind of care she looks after.
Common reasons people see her include endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). These conditions can be confusing and frustrating, and they don’t always show up in the same way for everyone. At times, symptoms can come and go, or they may get worse when life is busy and stressful.
For endometriosis, visits often centre on pain patterns, bowel or bladder symptoms, and how periods affect your routine. For ovarian cysts, the conversation may include what you’ve been feeling, how long it’s been going on, and what the next steps might be to keep an eye on things. With PCOS, the focus is usually on cycle changes, skin and hair symptoms, and any worries around fertility planning or metabolic health.
Appointments are about making sense of what’s happening in your body. She aims to keep things clear and practical, so you can understand the likely causes and what options are available. That includes talking through symptoms, discussing tests when they’re needed, and explaining treatment pathways in plain language.
Because gynecological problems can affect wellbeing, sleep, and mental health, care also tends to cover the “whole picture” side of things. Pain and hormone changes can make you feel worn out. In many cases, getting the right diagnosis and a workable plan can bring back a sense of control.
Alison works with patients in and around Adelaide, including people who may have been dealing with symptoms for a long time and want a steady, grounded approach. If you’re looking for help with endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or PCOS, she can help you sort through the next steps and keep your treatment moving.
