What is Gynaecology?
Gynaecology refers to the study of women’s health, including conditions that affect the female reproductive organ and system. This can cover things such as periods, contraception, menopause, infections, cancers, among many others. Only certified medical specialists known as gynaecologists are able to provide gynaecology treatments.

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common gynaecological problem affecting women of reproductive age. It occurs when the tissues of the uterus start growing on surfaces of other organs in the pelvis such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, outer surface of the uterus, pelvic cavity lining, vagina, cervix, vulva, bladder or rectum. Symptoms often include painful cramps in the lower abdomen, back or in the pelvis during menstruation.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder as well as one of the common causes of infertility among women. It is characterised by an ovulation dysfunction or impedance to the normal growth and release of eggs from the ovaries. It is most commonly seen in women of reproductive age and found rarely in women after menopause.
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a procedure that enables your surgeon to look inside the abdominal cavity and pelvis using a laparoscope to diagnose and treat a variety of abnormal conditions. A laparoscope refers to a long, narrow telescope with a light source and video camera at the end.
Contraception
Contraception refers to the prevention of pregnancy by interfering with the process of conception and implantation. These include barrier methods (such as diaphragms and cervical caps), hormonal contraception (through pills, implants, injections, skin patches, vaginal rings), and sterilisation (including vasectomy for men, and tubal ligation for women).
Uterine Polyps
Uterine polyps are abnormal growths of tissue that grow out of the membrane lining of the uterus. Most polyps are non-cancerous, while some may be and will require urgent medical intervention. The most common symptom of uterine polyps is irregular menstrual periods, abnormal or heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods and bleeding after menopause or during sexual intercourse. Infertility may also be an indication of the presence of a uterine polyp.
Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis occurs when the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. With every period, the tissue lining proceeds to thicken, break down, and bleed each month, which may cause uncomfortable symptoms such as menstrual cramps, lower abdominal pressure, heavy periods, and others.
Ovarian Cysts
An ovarian cyst is a fluid filled sac or pouch which forms on the ovary. In most cases, ovarian cysts are harmless, present no symptoms, and resolve on their own. However depending on the nature of the cyst it can cause issues with pain and torsion cutting off the blood supply to the ovary making it an emergency. It is crucial to have a healthy suspicion about the malignant potential of the cyst and if the cyst is cancerous, it requires medical intervention.
Abnormal Cervical Smear
Getting an abnormal cervical smear (from a pap smear test) indicates that some of the cells of the cervix may be abnormal. This is most often caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which can cause abnormal cells to develop on the cervix and overtime (if left untreated) could develop into cervical cancer.
Painful Periods
Painful periods refers to experiencing severe levels of pain before and during menstruation. There are many causes of painful periods, so it’s highly recommended to see your gynaecologist and undergo testing to find the root cause. Some causes of painful periods include endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, and more.
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Heavy menstrual bleeding, or Menorrhagia (medical term), refers to menstrual periods that result in abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding – often lasting more than the typical 7 day menstrual period time frame.
Post Menopausal Bleeding
Post Menopausal Bleeding occurs when women who have gone through menopause experience period bleeding again. Menopause means you haven’t had a period in at least a year. Post Menopausal Bleeding could be caused by uterine polyps, thinning or thickening of the uterine lining, cancer, medications, sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, and more.
Miscarriage
Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of pregnancy before the 20th week and is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. There are many possible causes of a miscarriage, some of which including being due to genetics, abnormalitie of uterus, hormones, having fibroids, among many others.
Fibroids
Fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) tumours that develop in and around the wall of the uterus or womb. Women who suffer from fibroids tend to experience symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, pelvic pressure or pain, frequent or difficulties in urination, constipation, backache as well as leg pain.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery involves using techniques for operations that are less invasive and cause less damage than compared to open surgery. Laparoscopy is one type of minimally invasive surgery methods, however there are many others including robotic surgery, vaginal surgery, and hysteroscopic surgery.
