What we do

Women should take regular tests to check their health status. Women’s health services include pregnancy care, birth control, preconception counseling, hormonal consultations, and ablations.

Two significant elements in ob-gyn are experience and expertise at the same time, lack of which may lead to consequences.

Our physicians take special care of the patient to put their absolute faith in them, and in return, they get the best results. Therefore, we provide services for the following conditions:

Pregnancy

Our pregnancy services include medical care and consultation before, while, or after the pregnancy period, of which we can enumerate:

  • Prenatal care
  • Sonography
  • Mammography
  • Childbirth
  • High-risk pregnancy care (maternal-fetal medicine)
  • Proper diet planning
  • Medication review
  • Prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum care
  • Breastfeeding and nursing
  • Sexual health during pregnancy

Pelvic diseases

Pelvic diseases may have different causes. Some of which we can call: advancing age, family history, childbirth, hysterectomy, or obesity. Some pelvic disorders are as follows:

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • Bacterial vaginosis
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Pelvic pain

Birth control

Birth control services include a vast range of services. However, there are a few schemes that are 100% effective. Some of our birth control services under women’s health include:

  • Contraceptives
  • Prevention and treatment of STD and STI
  • Sexual function therapy

Heavy or irregular periods

If you have heavy or lengthened menstrual periods that stop you from living your life, you should probably visit a doctor. If left untreated, it can cause anemia or iron deficiency. It may also be a sign of an underlying condition. In most cases, your physician can treat your disease by prescribing some medicine.

Uterine prolapse

The first-line treatment for uterine prolapse would be pelvic floor physiotherapy as the pelvic muscle is weakened. In addition, a pessary may be inserted to support the uterus. Pelvic floor exercises can still work when a pessary is placed.

Pap Smeer

A Pap smear, or in other words, a Pap test, is a test to diagnose cervical cancer in women. In a Pap smear, the physician collects cells from your cervix and informs you about the result ASAP.

If a pap smeer test diagnoses cervical cancer at an early stage, you will have a greater chance to get cured. It also detects alterations in your cervical cells that indicate if cancer will develop in the future or not. It’s a crucial test for women’s health.

Urinary incontinence

It usually occurs when urination preventive muscles are damaged, such as pelvic floor muscles and the urethral sphincter. It’s one of the most common women’s health services.

Urinary incontinence is usually caused by an obstruction/blockage in your bladder that prevents it from emptying the urine. However, total incontinence may be caused by genetics or a spinal injury. In addition, some conditions increase the chances of urinary incontinence. For instance:

  • Pregnancy and vaginal birth
  • A family history of incontinence
  • Obesity
  • Increasing age

Menopause

Estrogen therapy is one of the most practical treatment schemes to set menopausal hot flashes free and provide women’s health. However, it all depends on your family medical history whether your doctor recommends estrogen or not.

Alterations often cause menopause in sex hormones, which happens as you get older, as your ovaries quit producing sufficient hormone estrogen and no longer release an egg per month.

Breastfeeding

Our physicians will help expectant moms have a good start with breastfeeding. Topics that physicians teach moms under women’s health services include:

  • Benefits to breastfeeding
  • Latching on
  • Positioning
  • Signs to see the baby is getting enough.
