Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

DIAGNOSTIC AND OPERATIVE LAPAROSCOPY

Diagnostic and Operative Laparoscopy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. The abdomen is inflated with gas to provide a clear view of the pelvic organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic adhesions, fibroids, infertility issues, and tubal disorders.

MENSTRUAL DISORDERS MANAGEMENT

Menstrual Disorders Management


 Menstrual disorders are conditions that affect the timing, flow, or comfort of periods. 
 They can impact daily life, fertility, and overall health. Management is personalized and 
 may include lifestyle changes, medicines, and minimally invasive or surgical procedures.

Common Types



     
  • Irregular periods (Oligomenorrhea/Polymenorrhea): Cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days; may be linked to hormones, thyroid, stress, or PCOS.

  •  
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia): Flow lasting >7 days or soaking pads/tampons frequently; often due to fibroids, polyps, or hormonal imbalance.

  •  
  • Painful periods (Dysmenorrhea): Cramping/pelvic pain; may be primary (hormonal) or secondary (endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids).

  •  
  • Absence of periods (Amenorrhea): Primary (no periods by age 15–16) or secondary (stopped for 3+ months); causes include PCOS, thyroid issues, excessive exercise, or premature ovarian insufficiency.

Diagnosis



     
  • Detailed medical history and physical/pelvic examination

  •  
  • Blood tests (thyroid, FSH/LH, prolactin, testosterone; iron profile if heavy bleeding)

  •  
  • Pelvic ultrasound to assess fibroids, cysts, or polyps

  •  
  • Pap smear and/or endometrial biopsy when indicated

Treatment Options



     
  • Lifestyle: Stress management, balanced diet, regular exercise, weight optimization (especially for PCOS).

  •  
  • Medications: NSAIDs for cramps; iron supplements for anemia; hormonal therapy (combined pills, progesterone, LNG-IUS, GnRH analogues); thyroid/insulin-targeted therapy when needed.

  •  
  • Minimally invasive: Hysteroscopic polyp/fibroid removal, endometrial ablation for heavy bleeding, laparoscopy for endometriosis or cysts.

  •  
  • Surgery (case-dependent): Myomectomy (fibroid removal) or hysterectomy (when fertility is not desired and other treatments have failed).

Goals of Care



     
  • Normalize cycle pattern and flow

  •  
  • Relieve pain and improve quality of life

  •  
  • Treat underlying hormonal or structural causes

  •  
  • Protect fertility where desired and prevent complications like anemia

When to Seek Care



     
  • Very heavy bleeding, clots, or bleeding >7 days

  •  
  • Severe cramps not relieved by OTC pain relief

  •  
  • Cycles consistently irregular or absent

  •  
  • Intermenstrual or postcoital bleeding


 Note: Management is individualized after evaluation by a gynecologist. 
 Discuss your symptoms, family planning goals, and treatment preferences to choose the best option.
