Women's Health & Gynaecology
Service Details
Gynaecology is the study of the female reproductive system this includes the uterus, ovaries, cervix and vagina. The functions, medical disorders and diseases of the female reproductive system all fall under the heading of gynaecology.
Gynaecological complaints range from menstrual problems to uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and cervical polyps. These issues range from uncomfortable and painful to life threatening, and they may also affect fertility.
Gynaecological cancers are also sadly common according to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, more than 21,000 women receive a diagnosis each year. Therefore, it is vital that gynaecological issues are fully investigated when they arise.
Depending on your personal and physical circumstance, your consultant gynaecologist may provide advice, organise tests, perform examinations or even recommend surgery. Gynaecology clinics can also provide advice on options for contraception and treat disorders during the early stages of pregnancy.
We are proud to facilitate consultant gynaecologists in our hospitals who can help test, diagnose, and treat or manage gynaecological issues to help improve your quality of life.
Some of the procedures we carry out are below. We can help and will see and treat you within a matter of weeks!
Women's Health & Gynaecology Procedures
Ovarian Cystectomy
Our Ovarian Cystectomy service provides an effective treatment for the removal of ovarian cysts, which are fluid filled sacs that develop on the ovaries.
During the procedure, our skilled gynecologists remove the cyst while preserving as much of the healthy ovarian tissue as possible, ensuring minimal disruption to fertility. In some cases, the entire ovary may need to be removed if the cyst is large or if there are concerns about cancer.
The surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and a camera, which allows for faster recovery, less pain, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery.
We provide comprehensive care throughout the process, including pre surgery consultations and post operative support, to ensure your comfort and promote a smooth recovery. Our compassionate team works closely with you to achieve the best possible outcome, restoring your health and wellbeing.
Prolapse Vaginal Repair
Our Prolapse Vaginal Repair service offers an effective solution for women experiencing vaginal prolapse, a condition where the pelvic organs (such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum) descend into or outside the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Using advanced surgical techniques, our skilled gynecologists restore the proper position of the pelvic organs, repairing the vaginal wall and reinforcing the surrounding muscles. The procedure may be performed through the vagina or, in some cases, with small incisions using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, depending on the severity of the prolapse.
The surgery improves symptoms such as pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and vaginal bulging, while significantly enhancing quality of life. Our experienced team provides compassionate care, from pre operative consultations to post surgery recovery, ensuring a smooth and comfortable healing process.
With personalised care and a focus on long term health, we aim to restore your pelvic function and improve your overall well being.
Abdominal Hysterectomy
Our Abdominal Hysterectomy service offers a highly effective solution for women who require the removal of the uterus due to conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, cancer, chronic pain, or heavy bleeding.
During the procedure, our experienced gynecologists perform a surgical removal of the uterus through an incision made in the abdominal wall. In some cases, the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes may also be removed, depending on the underlying medical condition.
The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a hospital stay for recovery. While the procedure may involve a longer recovery time compared to minimally invasive methods, it provides significant relief from symptoms and helps improve long term health.
Our compassionate team ensures that you receive thorough pre operative counseling, personalised care during the surgery, and ongoing support throughout the recovery process, guiding you towards a smooth and successful recovery. We are committed to improving your health and quality of life.
Vaginal Hysterectomy
Our Vaginal Hysterectomy service provides a minimally invasive option for women requiring the removal of the uterus due to conditions such as fibroids, prolapse, cancer, chronic pain, or excessive bleeding.
During the procedure, our skilled gynecologists remove the uterus through the vaginal canal, without the need for abdominal incisions. This approach typically results in less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to abdominal surgery.
The surgery is performed under general or regional anesthesia, and in some cases, the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes may also be removed, depending on the medical condition.
Our team offers compassionate care throughout the process, from pre operative counseling to post surgery recovery, ensuring you feel supported at every step. Vaginal hysterectomy is a proven, effective procedure designed to improve your quality of life by relieving symptoms and restoring health.
Hysteroscopy
Our Hysteroscopy service provides a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat conditions within the uterus, including abnormal bleeding, fibroids, polyps, adhesions, or congenital abnormalities.
Using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope, inserted through the vagina and cervix, our skilled gynecologists can view the inside of the uterus on a monitor. This allows for accurate diagnosis and the ability to perform treatments such as the removal of fibroids, polyps, or scar tissue all without the need for large incisions.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity, and usually requires little to no downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two.
Our compassionate care team ensures a smooth experience from consultation to recovery, providing you with clear instructions and support throughout the process. Hysteroscopy is a safe and effective option for improving uterine health and relieving symptoms, allowing you to regain comfort and well-being.
