There are a few gynaecological conditions you may encounter during your life. In the next few pages, we will explain, in simple words, a few of their symptoms, diagnosis and available treatments.
The conditions we have outlined are:
Hysterectomy involves the surgical removal of the uterus
Endometriosis occurs when tissue, which normally lines the inside of the uterine cavity, grows outside the uterus.
Menorrhagia is a common condition which presents with heavy menstrual bleeding.
The pelvic organs comprise of the bladder, bowel, vagina, uterus and ovaries. When the supporting structures for these organs become weakened then we have a 'prolapse', where these organs protrude or drop into the vagina.
Urinary incontinence is the unintentional leaking of urine.
Uterine fibroids are benign (not cancerous) growths that develop in the muscle of the uterus. Please note that this information is for illustrative purposes only. Always ask your Specialist Gynaecologist first! |
