Gynecology Services for Women’s Health

Gynecological care supports women through different stages of life, helping identify and manage conditions that may affect reproductive health, menstrual cycles, and quality of life

Services may include:

• Menstrual Disorders: Evaluation of irregular, painful, heavy, or absent periods.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Assessment and management of hormonal and menstrual concerns associated with PCOS.
• Endometriosis: Evaluation of pelvic pain, painful periods, and symptoms that may affect fertility.
• Ovarian and Uterine Conditions: Assessment of selected conditions that may influence reproductive health.
• Routine Gynecological Check-Ups: Preventive care and evaluation of symptoms requiring medical attention.

Early evaluation can help identify potential health concerns and guide an appropriate care plan.

Fertility Evaluation and Infertility Care

Difficulty becoming pregnant can have several possible causes involving ovulation, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, sperm health, or a combination of factors. A fertility assessment helps identify which investigations and treatment options may be appropriate.

A fertility evaluation may include:

• Reviewing medical history and menstrual patterns.
• Assessing ovulation and ovarian reserve when indicated.
• Evaluating the uterus and fallopian tubes when appropriate.
• Recommending relevant hormonal or other laboratory tests.
• Assessing sperm health as part of a couple’s fertility evaluation.

The recommended investigations depend on age, medical history, symptoms, and how long pregnancy has been attempted.

Fertility Treatment Options

Treatment is tailored to the identified cause of infertility, the patient’s circumstances, and the couple’s preferences. Depending on the assessment, options may include:

• Ovulation Induction: Medication to support ovulation in selected patients.
• Fertility Medication and Monitoring: Individualized treatment with appropriate medical supervision.
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): A treatment option for selected fertility circumstances.
• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Fertilization of eggs with sperm in a laboratory, followed by embryo transfer when appropriate.
• IVF with ICSI: A specialized IVF technique in which a single sperm is injected into an egg when clinically indicated.

Not every patient needs advanced fertility treatment. A specialist can explain the potential benefits, limitations, risks, and alternatives of the available options.

When Should You See a Fertility Specialist?

Consider seeking a fertility evaluation if:

• You are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success.
• You are 35 or older and have been trying to conceive for six months without success.
• You are over 40 and planning a pregnancy, or have concerns that warrant earlier assessment.
• Your periods are irregular or absent.
• You have a known reproductive condition, such as endometriosis, or a history that may affect fertility.
• You have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss or have concerns about reproductive health.

Earlier evaluation may be appropriate when medical history or symptoms suggest a potential fertility problem.
