WHAT WE TREAT
Menopause
A natural biological transition marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years, characterized by the cessation of menstruation for 12 consecutive months. It is associated with hormonal changes, particularly a decline in estrogen, leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
A group of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that occur in the days leading up to menstruation. Common symptoms include bloating, irritability, fatigue, breast tenderness, and mood swings.
Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB)
Abnormal uterine bleeding that occurs in the absence of identifiable structural or systemic causes. It is often related to hormonal imbalances that disrupt the normal menstrual cycle.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
A hormonal disorder characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen levels, and the presence of multiple small ovarian cysts. It may lead to infertility, weight gain, acne, and metabolic disturbances.
Amenorrhea
The absence of menstruation, either primary (when menstruation never begins by adolescence) or secondary (when periods stop after having previously occurred). Causes may include hormonal imbalance, stress, excessive exercise, or underlying medical conditions.
Dysmenorrhea
Painful menstruation involving cramping in the lower abdomen, often accompanied by nausea, fatigue, or headaches. It can be primary (without underlying pathology) or secondary (due to conditions like endometriosis).
Menorrhagia
Excessively heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that may interfere with daily activities and lead to anemia. It can result from hormonal imbalances, fibroids, or other uterine conditions.
Ovulation Bleeding (Mid-cycle Bleeding)
Light spotting or bleeding that occurs around the time of ovulation due to hormonal fluctuations. It is usually mild and short-lived but can occasionally indicate underlying hormonal imbalance.
Endometriosis
A chronic condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. Symptoms often include severe menstrual cramps and pelvic pain.
Yeast Infections (Candidiasis)
A common fungal infection caused by overgrowth of Candida species, leading to itching, irritation, and abnormal vaginal discharge. It often occurs due to changes in vaginal flora or immune status.
Uterine Fibroids
Non-cancerous growths of the uterus that commonly develop during reproductive years. They may cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, or pain, though some women remain asymptomatic.
Ovarian Cysts
Fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within the ovaries. Most are benign and resolve on their own, but larger or persistent cysts may cause pelvic pain, bloating, or menstrual irregularities.
Breast Lumps
Localized swellings or masses in the breast tissue that may be benign (such as cysts or fibroadenomas) or, less commonly, malignant. Any new or unusual lump should be evaluated clinically.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
An infection of the female reproductive organs, often resulting from sexually transmitted bacteria. It can lead to pelvic pain, fever, abnormal discharge, and potential fertility complications if untreated.
Poor Libido (Low Sexual Desire)
A reduced interest in sexual activity, which may result from hormonal imbalances, stress, relationship factors, medications, or underlying health conditions.
Vaginitis Syndromes
A group of conditions involving inflammation of the vagina, often caused by infections (bacterial, fungal, or parasitic), hormonal changes, or irritants. Symptoms typically include discharge, itching, and discomfort.
