Conditions treated

Cystitis

Cystitis is an infection of the bladder. The bladder is the part of the urinary tract that collects the urine from the kidneys which normally contains no micro-organisms. However, sometimes bacteria or yeast from the lower gastrointestinal tract or rectal area enter the urinary tract, usually through the urethra (tube that allows urine to pass out from the bladder). When bacteria or yeast cling to the urethra, they can multiply and infect the urethra. They can then travel up and infect the bladder. Most cases of cystitis are caused by bacteria from the rectal area.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic disease involving endometrial tissue. Normally, endometrial tissue is found only inside the uterus, the reproductive organ where a foetus develops. Hormones direct the tissue to accumulate there, in preparation for a fertilised egg. If conception does not occur, the tissue passes out of the body during menstruation. In endometriosis, endometrial-like tissue is found outside the uterus. It may be found on organs in the abdomen, pelvis, or another location. Outside the uterus, the tissue continues to respond to hormones. It swells, breaks down, and bleeds, but it is unable to pass from the body during menstruation. Surrounding tissue becomes inflamed, often with scarring.

Fibroids

Fibroids are growths that form in the uterus (womb). They are benign (not cancerous) and are made up of muscle fibre. Fibroids can be as small as a pea and can grow as large as a melon. Fibroids are most common in women in their 30s and 40s, and tend to shrink after the menopause.

Health screening (smears)

A diagnostic test of a sample of cells is collected from the surface of a woman's cervix (the lower, narrow end of a woman's uterus) to check for inflammation, infection or abnormalities that can develop into cancer.

Incontinence/Urogynaecology

Urinary incontinence is the loss of voluntary bladder control leading to the leakage of urine. It can be temporary or chronic. Incontinence is a symptom, not a condition in itself. In some cases, incontinence may have several different causes or sometimes the cause is unclear..

Infections (UTI, Pelvic inflammatory disease)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by bacteria that invade the urinary system and multiply. The infection can occur in any part of the urinary system, but usually starts in the urethra (a tube that carries the urine out of the body).
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a serious infection of the female reproductive organs. These include the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. PID can cause scar tissue to form in the pelvis and fallopian tubes. This damage may result in infertility, a future tubal pregnancy, or chronic pelvic pain.

Menopause and HRT

Menopause is the time when the menstrual period ceases and the ovaries permanently stop releasing eggs. Menopause is considered complete when a woman has been without her period for a full year. Although menopause can occur anytime between ages 40-58, the average age is 51 years old. Natural menopause is a gradual process. The ovaries begin producing lower amounts of hormones prior to menopause during a phase called perimenopause.

Prolapse

Your uterus (womb) is normally held in place by various muscles, tissue and ligaments. Prolapse of the uterus occurs when the muscles supporting the uterus become so weak that the uterus cannot stay in place so it slips down from its normal position. This can happen in various stages.

Premenstrual syndrome

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a disorder marked by physical and emotional symptoms. It affects women one or two weeks before the beginning of their menstrual period. The cause of PMS is unknown. It may be that a complex combination of environmental, metabolic, and behavioural factors produces a 'vulnerability' to the hormonal changes associated with menstruation. A brain chemical, serotonin, may play a role in severe forms of PMS.

In India, a pregnancy can only be terminated legally at a Government Recognized Centre by a licensed care giver. The termination can be performed up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. However, the earlier a pregnancy is terminated, the easier it is for the mother. Termination of pregnancy is legal and can be provided in a safe manner at our Hospital.

If you need a pregnancy termination, consult a Doctor for the first visit. At this visit, the Doctor will discuss your current pregnancy situation, your medical history and will examine you. If required, an ultrasound may be performed at the same visit to determine the size of the pregnancy and its location.

Pregnancy can be terminated by medicines or by doing a small surgery. Both the methods are highly effective and safe. At your first visit, you will be explained both these methods and we will help you to select the correct option for you. If you are eligible to undergo both methods, the choice of procedure is yours.
