Women's Health

Throughout their lives, women can have a number of gynaecological problems,

including:

• Abnormal menstrual bleeding
• Menstrual and pelvic pain
• Infertility/Subfertility
• Uterine prolapse
• Incontinence and
• Abnormal cervical screening tests etc

These conditions are often the result of other underlying problems. Problems such as :

Fibroids: A quite common problem where benign tumours develop in the uterus. Some

women with fibroids have no actual symptoms while others can experience excessive

menstrual bleeding, discomfort, pain or fertility problems. There are a number of

treatments for fibroids.

Endometriosis: Another common problem. This is where tissue that should be inside

the uterus, instead grows in other parts of the body cavity. Again, some women have no

symptoms while others experience pain and fertility problems. Endometriosis can be

treated medically or surgically as appropriate.
