Gynecology

Antenatal care refers to the medical care and advice given to expectant mothers during pregnancy. This care includes regular check-ups with a healthcare provider, prenatal screenings for potential health issues, and education on how to best care for oneself and the growing baby.

Postnatal care refers to the medical care given to a mother and her baby after childbirth. This care typically includes follow-up visits with a healthcare provider, as well as support and education on breastfeeding, infant care, and recovery from childbirth.

Care for women's diseases and gynecological surgeries often involves a combination of medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and surgery. Some common gynecological surgeries include:

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm inside a woman's uterus, near the time of ovulation, to increase the chance of fertilization and pregnancy. The sperm can be provided by the woman's partner or by a sperm donor. IUI is often used in conjunction with ovulation induction, which is a method of stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs in one cycle.

Ultrasonography, also known as ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal organs, blood vessels, and other structures inside the body. The images are created by a device called a transducer, which emits the sound waves and detects the echoes that bounce back. The echoes are then converted into images that can be displayed on a monitor.

Family planning is the practice of controlling the number and spacing of children through the use of various methods of contraception. Contraception refers to the use of methods or devices to prevent pregnancy. There are several different types of contraception available, each with their own set of benefits and risks.

Gynaecological cancer refers to a group of cancers that affect the female reproductive system, including the ovaries, uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and vulva. Some common types of gynaecological cancer include ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer.

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but can happen earlier or later. During menopause, a woman's body experiences a decrease in the production of estrogen and progesterone, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances.

Adolescence is a time of significant emotional, physical, and cognitive development, and it can be a challenging period for both teenagers and their parents. Adolescents may experience a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulty with relationships.

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a common sexually transmitted infection.
