Benign Gynaecological Conditions

Many women develop non-cancerous (benign) growths or conditions in the uterus, ovaries or pelvis during their reproductive years. They can cause pain, heavy bleeding or fertility problems, and although they are not cancer, they can affect quality of life. Correct diagnosis helps choose between observation, medicines and surgery.

Conditions we manage

• Uterine fibroids
• Ovarian cysts
• Endometriosis and adenomyosis
• Endometrial and cervical polyps
• Pelvic inflammatory disease

• Bartholin cyst and other minor gynaecological swellings

Common symptoms

• Heavy or prolonged periods
• Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis
• Pain during periods or intercourse
• A feeling of pressure or swelling in the belly
• Frequent urination or constipation
• Difficulty in conceiving

Diagnosis and treatment

Diagnosis usually starts with an examination and ultrasound. MRI or other tests may be used in selected cases. Small fibroids or cysts without symptoms can often be observed. Medicines can control bleeding, pain and hormone-related growth. When surgery is needed, minimally invasive options such as laparoscopy are used wherever suitable, which generally means smaller cuts, less pain and quicker recovery. If fertility is a goal, the plan is designed to protect it.

Follow-up

Regular check-ups ensure that the condition remains under control and that treatment can be adjusted. Please tell your doctor about any new symptoms.
