What is Gynecology?
Gynecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. Gynecologists diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions and diseases affecting these organs, provide preventive care, and manage issues related to menstruation, fertility, contraception, and menopause. They also perform surgeries such as hysterectomies and laparoscopies and offer routine screenings like Pap smears to detect and prevent potential health problems.

Adhesiolysis
Adhesiolysis, also known as adhesion removal, is a surgical procedure to cut and remove adhesions (bands of scar tissue) that form between organs and tissues in the abdomen. These adhesions can cause pain, bowel obstruction, and infertility, and their removal can significantly improve symptoms and organ function.
Bartholin Abscess
A Bartholin abscess occurs when a cyst in one of the Bartholin glands, located on either side of the vaginal opening, becomes infected and filled with pus. Treatment typically involves draining the abscess, often under local anesthesia, to relieve pain and prevent the spread of infection, followed by antibiotics to clear any remaining infection.
Cervical Encirclage
Cervical encirclage is a surgical procedure designed to prevent premature birth or miscarriage by reinforcing the cervix. Typically performed between 12 and 14 weeks of gestation, a stitch is placed around the cervix to keep it closed during pregnancy. This procedure is recommended for women with a history of cervical insufficiency or a short cervix.
Cervical Stitch
A cervical stitch, or cerclage, involves placing a suture around the cervix to prevent it from opening prematurely during pregnancy. This intervention is aimed at reducing the risk of late miscarriage or preterm birth in women with a weak or incompetent cervix, often detected through ultrasound.
Colposcopy
Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that closely examines the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease, often after abnormal Pap smear results. Using a colposcope, which magnifies the view, doctors can detect abnormalities and, if necessary, perform biopsies to test for cervical cancer or precancerous conditions.
D & C (Dilation & Curettage)
Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a procedure where the cervix is dilated to allow the insertion of a curette, which is used to scrape the uterine lining. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions such as heavy bleeding, to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage, or to remove small fibroids or polyps.
Endometrial Biopsy / Uterine Biopsy
An endometrial biopsy, or uterine biopsy, is a procedure to collect a small tissue sample from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) for examination. This diagnostic tool helps in identifying conditions like abnormal uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and cancer, and is typically performed in a doctor’s office with minimal discomfort.
Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s uterus. This operation may be necessary for various reasons, including uterine fibroids, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, cancer, or severe uterine bleeding. Depending on the condition, the surgery can be performed abdominally, vaginally, or laparoscopically.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to inspect the inside of the uterus using a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube inserted through the vagina. It is commonly used to diagnose and treat uterine problems such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, and adhesions, providing a clear view without the need for incisions.
Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove cysts from the ovaries. This technique involves small incisions and the use of a laparoscope to ensure precise removal while preserving as much of the healthy ovarian tissue as possible, promoting quicker recovery and reducing postoperative pain.
LAVH (Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy)
Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) combines laparoscopy and vaginal surgery to remove the uterus. The procedure starts with laparoscopic assistance to detach the uterus and then completes the removal through the vagina, minimizing abdominal incisions and promoting faster recovery while addressing conditions like fibroids and endometriosis.
Myomectomy / Fibroidectomy (Open or Laparoscopic)
A myomectomy, or fibroidectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. This can be performed through an open abdominal incision or laparoscopically. Myomectomy is preferred for women who wish to retain their fertility and alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure.
Polypectomy
Polypectomy is the removal of polyps, which are abnormal tissue growths that can develop on mucous membranes, such as those lining the uterus or colon. This procedure is typically performed using a hysteroscope or colonoscope and is essential for preventing potential malignancy, relieving symptoms, and improving patient health.
TLH (Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy)
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the uterus using laparoscopic techniques. Small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope and surgical instruments are used to detach and extract the uterus, offering benefits such as reduced pain, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery compared to traditional hysterectomy.

FAQs
What is a cervical encirclage, and when is it recommended?
Cervical encirclage is a surgical procedure used to prevent premature birth or miscarriage by reinforcing the cervix with a stitch. It is typically recommended for women with a history of cervical insufficiency or a short cervix and is usually performed between 12 and 14 weeks of gestation.
What are the benefits of laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy compared to traditional surgery?
Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove ovarian cysts. Benefits include smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, a shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery, and the preservation of healthy ovarian tissue compared to traditional open surgery.
How is a bartholin abscess treated?
A Bartholin abscess is treated by draining the abscess, often under local anesthesia, to relieve pain and prevent the spread of infection. Antibiotics are typically prescribed to clear any remaining infection.
What should I expect during a colposcopy?
During a colposcopy, a doctor closely examines the cervix, vagina, and vulva using a colposcope, which magnifies the view. This procedure is often performed after abnormal Pap smear results. If abnormalities are detected, biopsies may be taken for further testing.

What is the difference between a hysterectomy and a myomectomy?
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, which may be necessary for conditions like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or cancer. A myomectomy, on the other hand, involves the removal of fibroids from the uterus while preserving the uterus and is often preferred for women who wish to maintain their fertility.
What conditions can be diagnosed with a hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat uterine problems such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, and adhesions. This minimally invasive procedure allows doctors to inspect the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope.
How is an endometrial biopsy performed, and what does it diagnose?
An endometrial biopsy involves collecting a small tissue sample from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) for examination. It helps diagnose conditions like abnormal uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and cancer. The procedure is usually performed in a doctor’s office with minimal discomfort.
What is TLH, and how does it differ from LAVH?
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) involves removing the uterus using laparoscopic techniques through small abdominal incisions. Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) combines laparoscopy and vaginal surgery to remove the uterus. Both procedures aim for minimal invasiveness, but TLH is fully laparoscopic while LAVH involves vaginal extraction.
