3 Gynaecological Problems Every Woman Must Know

Health should be the primary concern for every person. Most of us tend to overlook this fact. With rising medical problems, it has become important to put health on top of the list. Many women remain unaware of the gynaecological problems that may occur.

They might not even know about the symptoms related to such problems. Due to extensive availability of NSADs, i.e. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, it is generally assumed that treatment is adequate. Therefore, it is imperative to be aware of the potential problems that can occur in women. Here are some of the most common problems (gynaecological) that you every lady must know:

Dysmenorrhea

It is one of the most common gynaecological problems faced by women in the menstruation phase. Primary dysmenorrhea is pain (cramping in nature) in the lower abdomen that occurs before the menstruation cycle begins. This takes place in the absence of any classifiable pelvic disease. Secondary dysmenorrhea is pain that occurs in the reproductive organs of a woman which begins relatively earlier and remains longer than the common cramps during the menstrual cycle. The symptoms include pain in inner thighs, hips, and lower back, loose stool, upset stomach, and pain in abdomen.

Endometriosis

It is also called as endo and is derived from endometrium which is the tissue that lines the womb or the uterus. When this tissue extends out of the uterus or in other areas of the body, that state is called as endometriosis. There are many theories related to its occurrence, however, the cause remains unknown. The symptoms related to endometriosis include stomach problems such as constipation, diarrhoea, menstrual cramps that are extremely painful in nature, and chronic pain in pelvis or lower back, infertility or inability to become pregnant, and others.

Poly Cyst Ovarian Disease

It is one of the most common problems faced by women during childbearing age. About 5 to per cent women have PCOD. There are two ovaries in the body which produce follicles which further grow to form eggs. The further process includes fertilisation of eggs. In case fertilisation does not take place, the menstrual cycle looks after it. In the presence of PCOD, follicles do not generate eggs and follicles continue to be created. This leads to cysts and menstrual cycle. However, there is no fertilisation. Symptom include mood swings, fertility problems, depression, breathing problems, and upper body obesity.

If at all women see the occurrence of such symptoms, it is best to visit a gynaecologist in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai or Hyderabad. There are many good hospitals such as Fortis Health Care, Apollo Hospitals, Kokilaben Hospital and others.
