Frequently Asked Questions
ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
1. When should I visit a gynaecologist?
Meeting a gynecologist is essential for all menstruating women at some point. It is to ensure their periods are on the right track and also to get educated about period and personal hygiene, sexual and contraceptive practices, and women’s health.
2. What symptoms should prompt me to meet my gynaecologist?
If you suffer from any of these, it’s time to pay a visit to your gynecologist,
- Abnormal vaginal discharge
- Heavy or painful, or prolonged periods
- Irregular or missed periods
- Problems during sex
- Trying to conceive
3. Do all gynae problems require surgery?
Not all gynae problems require lifestyle modification and a proper understanding of your body. A few require medications, and yet another few require surgery. Which is why it’s paramount you meet a knowledgeable expert in the field to guide you on the right path tailored to you.
4. What is laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic Surgery can be performed through small incisions (0.5 cm to 1 cm) in the abdomen. This approach benefits both the patient and the surgeon. For the patient, the smaller cuts reduce blood loss and cause less pain during recovery, allowing for quicker mobility and faster healing. For the surgeon, these small openings provide better visibility of the uterus and internal organs, leading to more precise and less complicated procedures.
5. What is Robotic surgery?
Robotic surgery is similar to laparoscopic surgery, except it involves a robotic arm controlled by a surgeon. This approach offers advantages because the robotic arm surpasses the mechanical and physical limitations of the human hand. For instance, while the human hand has a dexterity range of only 180 degrees, the robotic arm can move through 360 degrees, providing greater freedom of movement and precision during procedures. Like laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery enables faster recovery, reduces pain, and minimizes blood loss.
6. When should a couple trying to conceive meet their infertility specialist?
Meeting your doctor is highly recommended when you decide to get pregnant. It will provide you with the necessary information about pregnancy and help you understand your overall health status as a couple. Typically, relevant treatment options are considered if you have abnormal test results or if you have been trying to conceive for a year or longer without success.
7. Do all couples having difficulty conceiving need IVF treatments?
No. IVF is one of many methods to help couples conceive. Treatment plans must be personalized and tailored to each couple’s health status.
