Our gynaecologists at Sterling Hospitals, Gandhidham, diagnose and manage a broad range of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that can affect menstrual cycles, ovulation and fertility. It may also be associated with symptoms such as excess hair growth, acne and weight-related concerns. Management depends on the individual's symptoms and may include lifestyle changes, medicines and treatment for fertility when required.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause painful periods, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse and, in some cases, difficulties with fertility. Treatment may involve medicines to manage symptoms and hormonal treatment, while surgery may be considered for selected patients.
Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Some fibroids do not cause symptoms, while others may lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain or fertility-related concerns. Treatment depends on the size, number and location of the fibroids, as well as the symptoms and reproductive plans.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or other growths that develop in or on an ovary. Many ovarian cysts are harmless and resolve without treatment, while others may cause pelvic pain, menstrual changes or other symptoms. Gynaecological evaluation helps determine whether monitoring, medicines or further treatment is required.
Menstrual Disorders
Menstrual disorders can include unusually heavy bleeding, painful periods, irregular cycles or bleeding between periods. These changes can have several underlying causes, including hormonal disturbances, fibroids, endometriosis and other gynaecological conditions. Treatment is directed towards identifying and addressing the underlying cause.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection affecting the female reproductive organs, often involving the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. It may cause pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, fever or pain during intercourse. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to reduce the risk of complications.
Vaginal Infections
Vaginal infections can result from an imbalance of microorganisms or infections caused by bacteria, fungi or parasites. Symptoms may include abnormal discharge, itching, irritation, unpleasant odour or discomfort. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve appropriate antimicrobial or antifungal medicines.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine. It can occur due to factors such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, pregnancy and childbirth, ageing or other underlying conditions. Evaluation helps determine the type and cause of incontinence so that appropriate measures, exercises, medicines or procedures can be recommended.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when one or more pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder or rectum, descend from their normal position because the supporting pelvic tissues have weakened. It may cause a feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvis, difficulty with urination or bowel movements, or a bulge in the vagina. Treatment depends on the severity of the prolapse and may include pelvic floor exercises, supportive measures or surgery.
Menopause-Related Concerns
Menopause is a natural stage of life when menstrual periods permanently stop due to changes in ovarian hormone production. The transition may cause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness and changes in mood. Gynaecological care can help assess symptoms and discuss appropriate measures for managing them.
Infertility
Infertility refers to difficulty achieving pregnancy despite regular unprotected sexual intercourse over a defined period. Female infertility can have several causes, including ovulation disorders, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes and age-related changes in fertility. Gynaecological evaluation can help identify potential causes and determine whether further fertility assessment or treatment is appropriate.
Gynaecological Cancers
Gynaecological cancers can develop in organs of the female reproductive system, including the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina and vulva. Symptoms and treatment vary according to the type and stage of cancer. Diagnosis may involve clinical examination, imaging, screening tests or biopsy, while treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or other specialised cancer treatments.
