General Gynaecology 

General Gynaecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the health and well-being of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. It involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various gynecological conditions across all stages of a woman’s life, from puberty to menopause and beyond.

​

Common areas of concern in general gynecology include:

​

• Menstrual disorders – irregular, heavy, painful, or absent periods.

• Hormonal imbalances – conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders affecting reproductive health.

• Contraception and family planning – counseling on birth control options and reproductive health.

• Pelvic infections – including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

• Fibroids and ovarian cysts – benign growths in the uterus or ovaries that may cause pain or fertility issues.

• Menopause management – addressing symptoms like hot flashes, osteoporosis, and hormonal changes.

• Infertility evaluation and treatment – assessing and managing difficulties in conception.

​

General gynecologists provide routine care such as annual check-ups, Pap smears, breast exams, and HPV screenings to detect early signs of disease. They also offer medical and surgical treatments, including minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for diagnosing and managing reproductive health conditions.

By promoting preventive care and offering comprehensive treatment options, general gynecology plays a vital role in maintaining women's reproductive and overall health.
