Gynaecology

Our Gynaecological Services Some of the gynaecological services we provide at Yogana Hospital and Birthing Center include:

• Breast Exams and Mammograms

The mammogram is an X-ray device used to diagnose and detect the abnormalities of the breasts. The procedure is performed to detect benign tumours, breast cancers and cysts. The test is recommended by our gynaecological experts when the patient experiences the symptoms of pain, nipple discharge, or lump in the breasts.

• Pelvic Exams

Pelvic exams are the methods used to analyze the abnormalities in the reproductive organs of the women. The test is performed by checking the patient’s uterus, vagina, fallopian tubes and cervix. Sometimes, our gynaecological specialists may also recommend performing the pap test or pap smear to diagnose the presence of cervical cancer.

• Pap Smears

Pap smear is the diagnosing test used to detect the presence of abnormal cells in the cervix which can become cancerous over time. Our gynaecological experts may sometimes recommend performing a human papillomavirus (HPV) test, which causes cervical cancers.  A blurred pap smear outcome may be a symptom of cancer or infection.

• Contraception

Contraception is the method used to control the pregnancy. There are numerous conception options available for both men and women. The conception options for women generally include intrauterine devices (IUD), pills, shots, patches, vaginal rings and implantable rods. The contraception options for men include condoms, vasectomy, hormonal injections, topical creams, pills, external devices, and long-acting implants. Some of these devices are used by both men and women.

• Menopause

Menopause is the stage where the woman’s reproductive cycle halts permanently. There are three stages of menopause. They are perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Our experts at Yogana Hospital specialize in managing the symptoms and helping our patients feel at ease when undergoing the menopausal phase. The methods to manage the symptoms include hormonal therapy, hormonal replacement therapy and non-hormonal treatments.  

• Menstrual Disorders

Menstrual disorder is an illness that impacts the menstrual cycle of women. The condition is generally associated with abnormal bleeding, amenorrhea (the absence of bleeding), oligomenorrhea (irregular cycles), uterine fibroids (benign tumours in the uterus), premenstrual syndrome (PMS – the discomfort before the menstrual cycle), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD – the severe discomfort before the cycle). Our gynaecology experts have vast experience in handling such disorders and helping women fulfil their dream of conception.

• Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a painful medical condition present in women. The disorder appears when the tissue of the uterus develops outside the uterus. This may result in heavy bleeding, infertility, pelvic pain, and so on. The treatment for this condition generally involves surgery or medication. Sometimes, the combination of both. Our expert in gynaecology recommends the appropriate option based on the patient’s medical condition.

• Chronic Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain is an illness that persists in patients over six months. The condition may be found in women and assigned female at birth (AFAB) individuals. The causes of pelvic pain generally involve infection, disorders in internal organs, or pain in the pelvic bone. The treatment for the condition varies based on its cause.

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an illness caused by an imbalance in hormones. The symptoms of the condition include excess hair growth, irregular menstrual cycle, fertility issues and acne. Gynaecology specialists at Yogana Hospital recommend the treatment option for the condition according to the patient’s unique needs.

• Uterine Fibroid

Uterine fibroids are benign tumours present in the uterus, which grows either inside or outside of the uterus. Oftentimes, the disorder may not produce any symptoms. However, the common symptoms include frequent urination, heavy menstrual bleeding, and pain during intercourse. Uterine fibroids that are smaller in size don’t need any medication or treatment whereas the fibroids that are larger need to be treated with surgery or medication.

• Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis is a disorder where the muscles of the uterus’s inner lining grow into the uterus wall. This leads the uterus to expand in size. The symptoms of the condition generally include painful intercourse and heavy bleeding. The condition can be treated by both medication and surgery.

• Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is the procedure used to diagnose and treat the presence of polyps, fibroids, or adhesions in the uterus. The method is executed with the help of a hysteroscope. A hysteroscope is a tube inserted through the vagina and cervix. This allows our experts to examine the condition and provide the appropriate treatment accurately.

• Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is a method performed to get rid of the uterus. When the procedure is done, the patient cannot conceive or menstruate. The gynaecological experts at Yogana Hospital suggest the hysterectomy procedure when the patient experiences uterine prolapse, cancer, severe fibroid, or abnormal menstrual bleeding.

Gynaecologic oncology involves the diagnosis and treatment of benign or cancerous tumours present in the female reproductive system. The approach is performed when the patient has endometriosis, pelvic masses, fibroids, and cancer in the cervix, ovary, uterus, vagina, and vulvar.
