Common Obstetrics and Gynaecology Conditions
Menstrual Irregularities
Menstrual Irregularities affect the menstrual cycle. A woman's body prepares for and releases an egg during ovulation, which occurs about midway through each cycle. The symptoms of menstrual Irregularity include:
A change in the length of the menstrual period.
An increase or decrease in the amount of bleeding.
Missing periods altogether.
Dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation can result from various factors, including uterine muscle tension and Endometriosis. The most common symptom is cramping in the lower abdomen area.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a group of symptoms that occur during women's second half of the menstrual cycle. Its symptoms include bloating, breast tenderness, fatigue, and mood changes. Treatment usually consists of lifestyle changes and medication for severe symptoms.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is when the tissue that lines the uterus – called Endometrium – grows in other areas of the body. It can cause pain, heavy periods, and Infertility.
Endometriosis is common in women aged 25-35 but can happen at any age. The symptoms of Endometriosis include painful periods and pain in the lower abdomen during or after sex. Treatment for Endometriosis may include surgery to remove any scar tissue or adhesions that have formed due to the condition.
Fibroid
Non-cancerous growth is called fibroids and can appear inside or outside the uterus. The growths range in size and are composed of muscle and fibrous tissue. They are sometimes referred to as leiomyomas or uterine myomas. Since they don't create any symptoms, many women are not aware that they have fibroids.
Infertility
Infertility is when a person is unable to conceive a child. Various factors, including hormonal imbalances, age, or complications with the reproductive organs, can cause it.
Infertility can also result from emotional or psychological factors such as stress and anxiety.
Many types of treatment are available for Infertility, including medications and surgery.
Menopause
Menopause is when ovaries stop producing eggs, and women stop menstruating, typically between ages 45 and 55, but it can happen earlier or later.
Menopause is a natural part of ageing, but it can also result from surgery to remove the Ovaries (Bilateral Oophorectomy), Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, or other conditions that affect hormone production.
Symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep problems.
Organ prolapse and urinary problems
In healthy females, a "hammock" of stabilising pelvic floor muscles and tissue holds the bladder in place. The bladder may sink and expand through this layer and into the vagina when these tissues are strained or weakened. This medical situation is called bladder prolapse. In serious situations, the prolapsed bladder may protrude through the vaginal opening and may cause urinary problems. Although bladder prolapse can be corrected, these symptoms can be annoying.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian Cysts are sacs of liquid that form on the ovary. They can be painful, but they rarely cause any serious health problems.
The symptoms of ovarian cysts include pain in the lower abdomen, bloating, and difficulty with urination.
Ovarian cyst treatment includes medication or surgery.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is a reproductive organ infection. It results from bacteria that spread from the vagina to the uterine tubes or ovaries. PID can cause scarring and damage to the reproductive organs, leading to Infertility.
The symptoms of PID include abdominal pain, irregular menstrual bleeding, painful intercourse, fever, nausea and vomiting.
Treatment for PID may include medication, rest and fluids to help prevent dehydration.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually Transmitted Infections spread through sexual contact. STIs include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B and C, HIV/AIDS, Syphilis, and Trichomoniasis.
The most common symptoms of STIs include bleeding after sexual intercourse, burning or itching sensations in the genital area, painful urination or discharge from the penis or vagina.
Dyspareunia
Dyspareunia is a term for pain during sexual intercourse. A variety of conditions, including Vulvodynia and Vaginismus, can cause it.
Diagnosis can be challenging, as some people may be reluctant to discuss their symptoms. Treatment options include physical therapy and medications.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian Cancer is when malignant cells form in the ovaries. The disease can spread to other body parts, including the uterus and fallopian tubes.
Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, feeling full quickly after eating, pain during sex or urination, constipation or diarrhoea, back pain, nausea or vomiting.
Treatment options include surgery to remove the tumour and any affected tissue, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Hormone Therapy for Cervical Cancer.
