A person who specialises in gynaecology and obstetrics treats a range of conditions that concern the female reproductive system. Gynaecology involves the treatment of hormonal imbalances related to pelvic pain, infertility, menstrual disorders and the management of menopausal symptoms. Obstetrics focuses on mothers before and during pregnancy as well as the postpartum period.
A gynaecologist is an expert in treating various gynaecological conditions. They remove tissue growths like fibroids or ovarian cysts and treat uterine, ovarian and cervical cancer.
Endometriosis is a severe condition that affects a woman's fertility. There's no specific cure for the condition, but symptoms can be managed effectively with the right treatment. Hormonal therapy resolves symptoms of endometriosis, but for severe endometriosis, surgery is required. Gynaecologists specialise in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. Less invasive surgery only requires a few small cuts in the abdomen to access and remove thick endometrial tissue.
Teenage girls between thirteen and fifteen can ask their parents to schedule an appointment with their gynaecologist. A first-time visit will determine what to expect when it comes to future appointments. Your first pelvic exam will evaluate the health of your uterus and menstrual cycle.
