Hysteroscopy
_____________
Hysteroscopy is a procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus and diagnose or treat a variety of uterine conditions. During the procedure, a thin, flexible instrument called a hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, allowing the doctor to directly view the uterine lining.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a procedure used to examine and treat uterine conditions. A thin, flexible instrument called a hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus to view the uterine lining. It is commonly used to investigate abnormal bleeding, infertility, or recurrent miscarriages and can identify conditions like fibroids, polyps, adhesions, and uterine malformations. Hysteroscopy is not only diagnostic but also therapeutic, allowing for the removal of polyps, fibroids, or scar tissue. The minimally invasive procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia, with a short recovery time, allowing most patients to return to regular activities within a few days.
Laparoscopy and Keyhole Surgery
_____________
Laparoscopy and Keyhole Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows doctors to perform surgeries with small incisions, typically no larger than a few millimeters. This method is commonly used for diagnostic purposes or to treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease. By using a small camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions, the surgeon can view and treat the affected areas with great precision, leading to less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.
Laparoscopy and Keyhole Surgery
Laparoscopy, also known as keyhole surgery, involves inserting a small camera through a tiny incision in the abdomen, allowing surgeons to view inside the body without large incisions. It is commonly used to treat conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis, as well as for sterilization, gallbladder removal, or weight loss surgery. The main advantages of laparoscopy include reduced recovery time, less pain, smaller scars, and a lower risk of infection compared to traditional open surgery. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia, with most patients able to go home the same day. Its precision makes it a preferred choice for both diagnosis and treatment
Colposcopy and Vulvoscopy
_____________
Colposcopy and Vulvoscopy are diagnostic procedures used to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva more closely when abnormal results are found during routine screenings, such as a Pap smear or HPV test. Colposcopy involves using a special microscope to closely inspect the cervix for signs of abnormalities, while vulvoscopy is used to examine the vulva for any unusual changes or lesions. These procedures help in diagnosing conditions like precancerous lesions, infections, or other concerns in the reproductive organs.
PCOS, Fibroids, and Ovarian Cysts Treatment
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive care for common gynecological conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts, which can affect reproductive health, causing symptoms such as infertility, pelvic pain, and irregular periods. We offer diagnostic services, including ultrasounds and hormonal tests, to accurately diagnose these conditions
Management of cervical abnormalities
_____________
Management of abnormal cervical screening results involves several steps to identify and address potential issues like precancerous changes or infections detected during a Pap smear or HPV test. If abnormalities are found, further evaluation is necessary, often starting with a colposcopy to closely examine the cervix. If suspicious tissue is identified, a biopsy may be taken for analysis. Treatment options may include cryotherapy, LEEP, or laser therapy to remove abnormal tissue. In more severe or persistent cases, a cone biopsy or hysterectomy may be recommended.
Management of abnormal cervical screening
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive care for abnormal cervical screening results, emphasizing regular monitoring and follow-up screenings to prevent precancerous changes from progressing. For women with high-risk HPV strains, consistent screenings are essential for early detection, as untreated HPV infections can lead to cervical cancer.
Endometrial Ablation (Treatment of HMB)
_____________
Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) by permanently removing or destroying the lining of the uterus (endometrium). This treatment is an excellent alternative to hysterectomy for women who experience abnormally heavy periods and have not responded to other medical treatments.
Endometrial Ablation (Treatment of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding - HMB)
HMB is a condition characterized by excessive menstrual blood loss that interferes with a woman's physical, emotional, and social quality of life. It can cause fatigue, anemia, and severe discomfort.
Common symptoms of HMB include:
Bleeding that lasts longer than 7 days
Soaking through pads or tampons every hour
Passing large blood clots
