Obstetrician-gynecologists specialize in the general
medical care of women, as well as care related to
pregnancy and the reproductive tract.
Gynecology also includes management of hormonal
disorders, treatment of infections,or treat pelvic
organ and urinary tract problems to include cancer of
the reproductive organs.
Screening for cancer is an important part of the job of
an Ob-Gyn specialist as well.

 Endometriosis is a common condition where tissue
from the lining of the womb, grows in other areas of
the body, such as ovaries, vagina, fallopian tubes,
bladder, bowel, or rectum. It is a chronic condition
that affects women’s all over the world.

5.
This infection can cause permanent damage to the uterus,
ovaries and fallopian tubes. It is the leading preventable cause
of infertility in women. Symptoms include abdominal pain,
fever, abnormal vaginal discharge, and pain during sex or
urination. PID is treated with antibiotics or surgery in severe
cases.

6.
Fibroids are benign tumors that develop within the uterus. About 1 in 5
women develop fibroids during their childbearing years and half of all
women will have fibroids before they are 50.
 Symptoms

7.
Heavy periods that recur each month, and interfere with your quality of
life, are known as menorrhagia. Menorrhagia accounts for 30% of all
Gynecological outpatient attendances. 25% of women feel that their
menstrual loss is excessive and up to 10% take time off work.
 Causes
 In 40-60% of cases the cause of heavy bleeding is not known. This is called
dysfunctional uterine bleeding. With dysfunctional uterine bleeding, the
womb and ovaries are normal, it is not a hormonal problem, and periods
may be regular. This condition is more common in patients approaching
the menopause or who have only started their periods recently (in these
cases periods are likely to be irregular in addition to being heavy).

8.
Hysterectomy may cause an increased risk of the
relatively rare renal cell carcinoma. The increased risk is
particularly pronounced for young women, the risk was
lower after vaginally performed
hysterectomies. Hormonal effects or injury of the ureter
were considered as possible explanations. In some cases
the renal cell carcinoma may be a manifestation of an
undiagnosed hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell
cancer syndrome.

9.
An abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure
that removes your uterus through an incision in your
lower abdomen. A partial hysterectomy removes just
the uterus, leaving the cervix intact. A total
hysterectomy removes the uterus and the cervix.

10.
If you have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), you
are probably no stranger to fertility problems. You may have tried to lose
weight or take different fertility drugs to help you conceive. But if these
PCOS fertility treatments did not work for you, you may wonder if there is
another option.
Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a surgical treatment that can trigger
ovulation in women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Electrocautery or a laser is used to destroy parts of the ovaries.

11.
Breast Cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells
usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor is
malignant (cancerous) if the cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread
(metastasize) to distant areas of the body.
 Advanced treatment options include two types of surgery that go beyond non-invasive
options to treat lymphedema, a common side effect of breast cancer.
 A small number of cancers start in other tissues in the breast. These cancers are
called sarcomas and lymphomas and are not really thought of as breast cancers.
