Common Gynecological Conditions & Procedures

Many women experience gynecological conditions that can affect their daily lives and overall health.

Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD)

PCOD is a condition where the ovaries produce immature or partially matured eggs, leading to multiple small cysts. This can disrupt the menstrual cycle and cause symptoms like weight gain, acne, and excessive hair growth. Treatment is aimed at regulating the menstrual cycle, balancing hormones, and addressing insulin resistance through medication, diet, and exercise.

Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are benign muscle tumors of the uterus that can vary in size and number. While some fibroids cause no symptoms, others may lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms. Diagnosis is usually made via ultrasound or MRI. Treatment options include medication to control bleeding and pain, or surgical interventions like myomectomy or hysterectomy for larger or symptomatic fibroids.

White Discharge (Leukorrhea)

White vaginal discharge is common and often normal. However, if the discharge becomes excessive, has a foul smell, or is accompanied by itching or irritation, it may indicate an infection or imbalance in the vaginal flora. Causes can include bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, or poor hygiene. Diagnosis is made through physical examination and laboratory tests. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve antifungal or antibacterial medications.
