General Gynaecology

For many women, it is believed that visits to the gynaecologist aren’t necessary. However, going to the gynaecologist is essential when it comes to a woman’s overall health. Many health conditions that affect a woman’s health can exist without any symptoms.

General gynaecological checkups can be useful in preventing health conditions that affect women. Health screenings can help detect these conditions in the early stages and prevent them from developing into something more severe.

Health screenings can help detect conditions such as:

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that results in the enlargement of the ovaries with cysts on the outer edges. It can also cause failure to release eggs regularly.

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a disorder in which the tissue lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.

Ovarian Cysts
An ovarian cyst is a solid or fluid-filled sac that can be in or on the surface of the ovary. Generally, they disappear after a few months but can cause problems if they don’t.
