UpgradeGynaecology is the branch of medicine that covers the female reproductive system and treats gynaecological conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis and menstrual or menopause problems.
One Health’s provides gynaecology specialists that are trained to diagnose and treat a range of these conditions, using the latest techniques to improve your outcome. These include hysteroscopy, laparoscopy and hysterectomy, among others. Read on to find out about these treatments, and the conditions that we can help you with.
A vaginal pessary is a removable device inserted into the vagina to support a prolapsed uterus or vaginal wall. It is a non-surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse.
Gynaecological laparoscopy is a procedure used to look inside your abdomen (tummy) and examine your fallopian tubes, ovaries and womb. Laparoscopy can be used either to diagnose a condition or to treat a condition.
A hysteroscopy is a procedure where a camera is used to look into the uterus. It is used to examine the cavity to look for any changes or growths that could explain a change in bleeding patterns or for a suspected cancer. This is a ‘day case’ in that the patient is discharged on the same day.
Hysteroscopic sterilisation is a method of female sterilisation for women wanting permanent contraception.
This is an operation to remove the womb through an incision in your abdomen while you are under a general anaesthetic. Usually the cervix (neck of the womb) is also removed during this procedure.
This procedure is a treatment for heavy menstrual periods. There are several methods available; all intend to remove permanently the lining of the womb. Approximately 40% of women who undergo this procedure will have minimal or no bleeding thereafter and another 50% will have lighter periods.
If prolapse is causing medical problems or symptoms that bother you, it may be necessary to consider surgery. Your consultant will discuss surgery with you fully before you decide to go ahead. Other possible treatments include pessaries placed inside the vagina, or simply leaving things alone if things aren’t too bad.
One Health Group utilises specialist consultants and healthcare managers working together to provide the best possible diagnosis and treatment for our patients.
