Common Conditions We Treat

We treat a wide variety of conditions in our Gynaecological Department, including:

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, leading to irregular periods, cysts on the ovaries, and other symptoms.
  • Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and other symptoms.
  • Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, leading to pain, heavy bleeding, and potential fertility problems.
  • Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries that can cause pain or discomfort.
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the reproductive organs that can lead to chronic pain and fertility problems.
  • Cervical Dysplasia: Abnormal cell changes on the cervix that could lead to cancer if untreated.
  • Urinary Incontinence: Loss of bladder control that can range from mild leaks to complete loss of bladder function.

Prenatal and Postnatal Care

At Norwich Memorial Hospital, we provide comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care to support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy journey. From early pregnancy scans to labor and delivery, we ensure you have the support you need. After delivery, we provide postnatal care to monitor both your and your baby’s health and to offer guidance on breastfeeding, infant care, and recovery.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

We offer minimally invasive procedures for various gynecological issues, including:

  • Laparoscopy: A surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic infections.
  • Hysteroscopy: A procedure to examine the inside of the uterus and treat issues like fibroids, polyps, and adhesions.
  • Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus in cases of cancer, fibroids, or other conditions that affect the reproductive organs.

These techniques offer shorter recovery times, smaller incisions, and reduced pain, ensuring that our patients return to their daily activities sooner.

Cancer Screening and Early Detection

Our department is dedicated to early detection and prevention of gynecological cancers. Regular screening for cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancer is crucial in identifying abnormalities early when they are most treatable. We provide Pap smears, HPV testing, and ultrasound screenings to detect early signs of cancer and help prevent the development of serious conditions.
