Our multidisciplinary experts support patients with personalized treatment plans, such as to decide if the clinical procedure is required to make further diagnosis.

Our gynaecological oncologists are specialists in treating cancerous and non-cancerous (benign) cells present in women’s genital tract. Thermoablation is the procedure used to remove the cancerous cell as much as possible. The remaining cells are treated with radiation or chemotherapy.

·            Uterine fibroid

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) tumors that grow in or around the uterus. The treatment for the condition includes removal of the fibroid or medication. However, the procedure is only recommended when it affects the patient’s day-to-day routine. 

·            Menstrual disorder

Menstrual disorder is a condition in women that affects the normal menstrual cycle. The symptoms are heavy bleeding, painful cramps, and irregular cycles. The treatment for the condition includes ablation, oral contraceptives, iron supplements, and more.

·            Pap smear

A diagnostic pap smear is a procedure, performed at A4 Hospital to monitor women’s cervix health. If our patients experience an “abnormal” pap test, they are recommended for further analysis called a colposcopy.

·            Contraception

Contraception is the method used to prevent pregnancy. The process involves numerous ways such as medicines, surgeries, and devices.

·            Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis is a gynaecologic medical condition when endometrial tissue grows into the uterine wall. Our trained gynecologic oncologists treat this condition by performing pelvic exam, transvaginal ultrasound, and imaging scans.

·            Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a medical condition caused by hormonal disorders. The condition causes numerous cysts or fluid-filled sacs to form in the walls of the ovaries. The recommended treatment for this condition is laparoscopy.

·            Chronic pelvic pain

Chronic pelvic pain is a medical condition that causes severe pain in the abdomen, down below the navel, which lasts for more than six months. The treatment for the condition at A4 Hospital includes pain medications, lifestyle changes, hormonal treatment, physical therapy, and surgery.

·            Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is the procedure, performed at A4 Hospital to remove the cervix and uterus. This is recommended for women who have uterine fibroids, prolapse of the uterus, pelvic pain, or cancer. There are four methods for performing a hysterectomy procedure. They are vaginal, laparoscopic, robotic, and abdominal.

·            Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is the procedure performed to monitor the uterus' health. The method is used to diagnose fibroids and understand the causes of pelvic pain, menstrual disorders, infertility, and recurrent miscarriages.

·            Menopause management

Menopause is the stage when the menstrual cycle of women permanently stops. This usually happens in the late 40s and early 50s. The common symptoms of menopause are mood swings, depression, vaginal dryness, sleep disorders, and more.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at A4 Hospital, patients can manage their mood swings and depression. Whereas, pelvic floor physiotherapy supports sexual health and vaginal dryness.
