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.
Heavy menstrual bleeding, or heavy periods are a very common presentation for women who see a gynaecologist. Surgery may be used to diagnose any abnormalities causing the bleeding.
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.
Ovarian cysts, fluid-filled growths on the ovary, can be simple or complex, benign, pre-cancerous, or cancerous. Most are benign. Cysts vary, some cause pain or complications, requiring laparoscopic cystectomy for removal and preserving ovarian function.
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 pain, lasting 6+ months below the belly button, is common but not normal. It’s treatable with diagnosis, including laparoscopy. A multi-pronged approach with specialists can help improve quality of life. Seek help; relief is possible.
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.
