Gynaecology Consultations
A gynecology consultation involves diagnosing and treating various conditions related to women's reproductive health. It includes routine check-ups, screenings, and addressing concerns like menstrual irregularities, infections, fertility issues, and menopause. These consultations also focus on preventive care, including Pap smears, HPV vaccinations, and breast examinations to detect early signs of cancer.
Additionally, gynecologists provide guidance on contraception options, sexual health, and lifestyle modifications to promote overall well-being. They also help manage conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Regular visits ensure timely detection and management of potential reproductive health issues, enhancing a woman’s quality of life.
