When should you consult with an obstetrician and gynaecologist?

An obstetrician and gynaecologist should be consulted when you feel something unusual about your cycles or when experiencing cramps outside of the menstrual cycle. When the cramps are unusual and it becomes too difficult to continue with your routine activities during periods, then you might need to visit a gynaecologist in Dubai. The next reason why you should be visiting a gynaecologist is if you are experiencing irregular periods, pelvic pain, breast pain, lumps, urinary tract infections, and so on.

Treatments under obs and gynaecology 

An obstetrician and gynaecologist are entrusted to look after the different ailments that females face with their reproductive system and medical needs regarding fertility, family planning, contraceptive counseling, and so on. Here are some of the common treatments and procedures conducted by an OB/GYN hospital in Dubai:

• Pap Smear: A pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. In the test, a small set of cells is scraped by the gynaecologist from the cervix, and that is put further under the microscope to check whether the cells are cancerous or non-cancerous. The test is ideal for being performed regularly and will help in the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer.

• Colonoscopy: If any sort of abnormality is found in the cells that are obtained from the pap smear, then a colonoscopy is performed. Under colonoscopy, a magnifying device is used to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva. If any abnormality is found, that part of the cell is sent for further biopsy.

• Hysteroscopy: This is a procedure in which the gynaecologist checks the inside of the uterus using a device. The device is called a hysteroscope, and it is inserted through the vagina, ensuring the visibility of the uterus. Polyps, fibroids, and the uterine septum can be discovered in the process.

• Dilation and Curettage: In the D&C procedure, the cervix is dilated to scrape off or suction the lining of the uterus. This procedure is used to understand disorders like prolonged periods, remove polyps and fibroids, and understand the reasons for incomplete miscarriage.

• Intrauterine Device Insertion: An IUD is a device that gives long-term contraception and is inserted into the uterus through the cervix. This is one of the best ways to enhance birth control.

• Assistive Reproductive Technologies: These are the procedures that are used to help couples achieve their dream of being parents. The different procedures are IVF, IUF, ICSI, and freezing the eggs for fertilisation.

• C-section: A c-section is the treatment or procedure to help mothers deliver babies through an incision created on the abdomen and the uterus. The procedure is done because the mother is unable to deliver the baby through a normal vaginal delivery.

• Endometrial ablation: This procedure helps women who face prolonged menstrual bleeding. It includes the process of removing the uterus lining through heating, freezing, or radiofrequency energy. It is ideal for women who are trying to preserve their uterus.

• Hysterectomy: The hysterectomy helps surgically remove the uterus. The removal of the uterus is due to many different reasons, like uterine fibroids, pelvic organ prolapse, gynaecological cancers, etc. The severity of the case may also result in the removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

These are just some of the few treatments and procedures that come under the purview of the obstetrics and gynaecology hospitals in Dubai. There are much more varied procedures that actually help in curing different ailments that are faced by the female reproductive system.
