Common Gynecology Problems

Abnormal Bleeding
By definition any vaginal bleeding that occurs at the wrong time is abnormal but women are also often troubled because the nature of their bleeding has changed such that it is a different colour or has a different odour from normal or is much heavier and contains clots. Some women will complain that their periods are becoming lighter or have been missed. Please see an Apollo Bangalore Gynecologist if you are experiencing abnormal bleeding problems.

Ovarian Cysts
Generally speaking, the term "cyst" refers to a growth that is filled with fluid. Ovarian cysts are extremely common and usually not serious. The vast majority discovered during pelvic examination or on ultrasound in premenopausal women will resolve if they are left alone. Most are "functional" cysts that are the result of normal ovulatory function. Nonetheless, it's advisable to see an Apollo Bangalore Gynecologist to rule our any serious problems.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is also known as hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation. It may manifest itself in many different ways but is characterized by irregular ovulation and menses, obesity, insulin resistance, acne, and excessive hair growth. In addition, vaginal ultrasound of the pelvis shows large ovaries with multiple cysts round their outer edge and a dense core. Please see an Apollo Bangalore Gynaecologist if you experience these symptoms.

Vaginal Discharge
It is normal for women to have a small amount of vaginal discharge which will vary both in amount and appearance during different parts of the menstrual cycle. You should only become concerned if the discharge becomes heavier, changes colour, is itchy or has an unpleasant odour. This may be associated with infection so make sure you see a qualified Gynecologist. You may need to take antibiotics. This is very important as an untreated infection may damage your tubes which might cause you to have an ectopic pregnancy or even make you infertile in the future. Please see an Apollo Bangalore Gynaecologist if you experience these symptoms.
