GYNAECOLOGICAL TREATMENTS
Abnormal Menstrual Bleeding
Abnormal menstrual bleeding refers to any deviation from a normal menstrual cycle, including excessively heavy bleeding, prolonged periods, or bleeding between cycles. It can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, or conditions like endometriosis. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may range from medication to surgical intervention.
Ectopic Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, typically in one of the fallopian tubes. This condition is not viable and can be life-threatening if left untreated, as the growing embryo can cause the tube to rupture. Symptoms often include sharp abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and dizziness. Ectopic pregnancies require immediate medical treatment, usually through medication or surgery.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a painful condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterine cavity, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. This can lead to severe menstrual cramps, heavy periods, and fertility issues. Over time, endometriosis can cause inflammation, scarring, and the formation of adhesions, where organs become stuck together. Treatment options include pain management, hormone therapy, or surgery.
Gynaecological Cancer
Gynaecological cancers include cancers of the female reproductive system, such as ovarian, cervical, uterine, and vulvar cancer. Symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer but may include abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, or lumps in the genital area. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies. Regular screenings, such as Pap smears and pelvic exams, are vital for early diagnosis.
Miscarriage
A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks, most commonly occurring due to chromosomal abnormalities in the developing embryo. Other factors include hormonal imbalances, infections, or structural abnormalities of the uterus. Symptoms typically include vaginal bleeding, cramping, and the passing of tissue. While miscarriages are common, occurring in about 10-20% of known pregnancies, they can be emotionally distressing, and support is often needed.
Ovarian Cyst
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries, often during ovulation. Most cysts are benign and resolve on their own without treatment. However, larger cysts may cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, bloating, or discomfort during intercourse. In some cases, cysts can rupture or twist (a condition called ovarian torsion), leading to severe pain and requiring emergency medical care. Treatment options range from watchful waiting to surgical removal.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by irregular or absent periods, the development of small cysts on the ovaries, and symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth, weight gain, and infertility. PCOS is associated with insulin resistance, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms through lifestyle changes, medication, and, in some cases, fertility treatments.
Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are benign growths that develop in the muscle tissue of the uterus. They are common, especially in women of childbearing age, and can vary in size and number. While some fibroids cause no symptoms, others may lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and complications in pregnancy. Treatment options include medication to shrink the fibroids, non-invasive procedures, or surgery, depending on the severity of the symptoms.
