Contraception Counseling
Contraception counseling involves discussing various
birth control methods to help individuals choose the most suitable option. This can include
oral contraceptives,
IUDs,
implants, and
sterilization methods. Counseling also covers effectiveness, side effects, and suitability based on personal health history.
Menstrual Disorders
Gynecologists address a range of menstrual disorders such as
amenorrhea (absence of menstruation),
dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and
menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). Treatment options may include medication, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgical interventions.
Fertility Assessments
For individuals experiencing difficulties in conceiving, fertility assessments are crucial. Services include
ovulation tracking,
hormonal testing, and
semen analysis. Advanced treatments like
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) may also be offered.
Pregnancy Care
Comprehensive pregnancy care is provided from preconception counseling to postnatal care. This includes
prenatal visits,
ultrasounds,
genetic screening, and management of high-risk pregnancies. Postnatal care ensures the well-being of both mother and baby after delivery.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
Diagnosis and treatment of STIs are crucial services in gynecology. Regular
screening and prompt treatment of infections like
chlamydia,
gonorrhea, and
HPV prevent complications and reduce the spread of infections. Counseling on safe sex practices is also provided.
Gynecologic Surgeries
Various surgical procedures are performed to treat conditions such as
fibroids,
endometriosis, and
ovarian cysts. Common surgeries include
laparoscopy,
hysterectomy, and
D&C (Dilation and Curettage). Minimally invasive techniques are often preferred to reduce recovery time and complications.
Pelvic Floor Disorders
Pelvic floor disorders, including
urinary incontinence and
pelvic organ prolapse, are addressed through various treatments. These may include pelvic floor exercises,
pessary devices, and surgical interventions to restore normal function and improve quality of life.
