Gynecology

Gynecology

Gynecology and obstetrics are twin subjects that deal with the female reproductive system. While obstetrics deals with pregnancy and its associated procedures and complications, gynaecology involves treating women who are not pregnant.

Gynecology comprises of both medicine as well as surgical fields. While many of the gynaecological illnesses need hormonal and other pharmacological management, cancers, fibroids etc. require surgical removal.
A gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in female reproductive health. They diagnose and treat issues related to the female reproductive tract.

PCOS Clinic

If it isn’t treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease and even cancers! Most women with PCOS grow many small cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts themselves are not harmful, but lead to hormone imbalances.

Common symptoms of PCOS include :

  • irregular periods or no periods at all.
  • difficulty getting pregnant (because of irregular ovulation or failure to ovulate)
  • excessive hair growth (hirsutism) – usually on the face, chest, back or buttocks.
  • weight gain.
  • thinning hair and hair loss from the head.
  • oily skin or acne.

To help decrease the effects of PCOS, try to :

  1. Maintain a healthy weight. Weight loss can reduce insulin and androgen levels and may restore ovulation. …
  2. Limit carbohydrates. Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets might increase insulin levels. …
  3. Be active. Exercise helps lower blood sugar levels.

    Even if a young woman in her teens is diagnosed with PCOS, there is no need to panic and get confused about what is the best treatment for polycystic ovarian syndrome.However, their PCOS hormonal imbalance does not change with age, so they may continue to have symptoms of PCOS. Also, the risks of PCOS-related health problems, such as diabetes, stroke, and heart attack, increase with age.

    Your doctor may diagnose PCOS if you have at least two of these symptoms: Irregular periods. Higher levels of androgen (male hormones) shown in blood tests or through symptoms like acne, male-pattern balding, or extra hair growth on your face, chin, or body.

    Cysts in your ovaries as shown in an ultrasound exam.
    Many adolescents with PCOS have higher levels of the hormone, insulin, in their blood. Higher levels of insulin can sometimes cause patches of darkened skin on the back of the neck, under the arms, and in the groin area. This condition is called acanthosis nigricans

Medical and Surgical Management of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Problem bleeding is among the most common gynecologic complaints of reproductive age women in ambulatory care settings—of similar frequency to the number seeking care for urinary tract infections and vaginitis. In the general population, abnormal uterine bleeding is estimated to affect 11 to 13 percent of reproductive age women at any given time; this prevalence increases with age, reaching 24 percent in those ages 36 to 40 years. In addition to gynecologists, all primary care practitioners including pediatricians, family physicians, advanced practice nurses, and internists, will encounter the need to evaluate, treat, or refer women with bleeding-related symptoms.3 Women generally present because the amount, timing, or other characteristics of the bleeding have changed from their individual norm.
Population norms for menstrual bleeding, as established by 5th and 95th percentiles, are :
  • Frequency of menses within a 24 to 38 day window
  • Regularity (cycle-to-cycle variation) within ± 2 to 20 days
  • Duration of flow from 4 to 8 days
  • Volume of blood loss from 5 to 80 ml 
Symptoms outside this normal range, or different from normal for the individual, can become problematic and deserve evaluation whether or not they cause difficulties. Common problems include worry about the cause, embarrassment if the bleeding includes flooding type bleeding with saturation of clothing, missed work and responsibilities, limitations of social activities and exercise, decreases in sexual activity, and frustration with costs of sanitary protection. Collectively, the effects of troublesome bleeding reduce quality of life and drive desire for information about causes and treatment options.

Management of Fibroid Uterus

Uterine fibroids are common benign neoplasms, with a higher prevalence in older women and in those of African descent. Many are discovered incidentally on clinical examination or imaging in asymptomatic women.

Fibroids can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pressure, bowel dysfunction, urinary frequency and urgency, urinary retention, low back pain, constipation, and dyspareunia. Ultrasonography is the preferred initial imaging modality. Expectant management is recommended for asymptomatic patients because most fibroids decrease in size during menopause. Management should be tailored to the size and location of fibroids; the patient’s age, symptoms, desire to maintain fertility, and access to treatment; and the experience of the physician.

Medical therapy to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding includes hormonal contraceptives, tranexamic acid, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists or selective progesterone receptor modulators are an option for patients who need symptom relief preoperatively or who are approaching menopause. Surgical treatment includes hysterectomy, myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, and magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound surgery.

Prolapsed Uterus

Your physician can diagnoseeyour uterine prolapse during a pelvic exam. You will be asked to bear down as if you’re trying to push out a baby so your doctor can determine how far the uterus has dropped. You may have mild or moderate prolapse, depending on whether your cervix drops into the lower part of the vagina or through the vaginal opening.

Lifestyle changes such as losing weight, quitting smoking to control a chronic cough and avoiding heavy lifting or straining is enough to bring relief to many women. Your physician may recommend a vaginal pessary, which is a donut shaped device fitted for your vagina, much like a diaphragm, that keeps the uterus in place.

Surgical treatment isn’t performed until the prolapse symptoms are worse than the risks of having surgery. If you do require surgical treatment, know that the specialists at Matruchhaya women’s care clinic for Advanced Gynecologic Surgery have years of experience caring for women with some of the most complex gynecological conditions.
