Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found in areas outside of your uterus. You may need surgery if your condition is severe.
Fibroids, benign uterine growths, affect many women. They vary in size and location, often causing symptoms like heavy bleeding and pain. Treatment is individualised, including medical and surgical options for relief.
Heavy menstrual bleeding, or heavy periods are a very common reason for women to see a gynaecologist. Surgery can be used to diagnose abnormalities causing the bleeding.
Urinary incontinence, common with age, has three types: stress, urgency, and mixed. Treatments depend on the cause. Stress incontinence may require minimally invasive laparoscopic Burch Colposuspension surgery, avoiding mesh complications.
Pelvic organ prolapse weakens support for bladder, uterus, or rectum, causing vaginal lump or heaviness. Symptoms may include bowel and bladder issues. Diagnosis is easy. Treatment varies, from non-surgical options like physiotherapy or pessaries to surgical methods combining vaginal and laparoscopic approaches.
Abnormal cervical screening rarely indicates cancer. Visit your gynecologist for evaluation. Colposcopy examines the cervix for abnormalities with minimal discomfort and potential biopsies. Follow-up pap smears are usually enough; occasionally, a larger biopsy (LLETZ) is needed, under anesthesia.
