Gynecological disorders refer to the diseases and conditions that affect the female reproductive system. These can encompass a wide range of issues and require different types of treatment and management strategies.

Types of Gynaecological Disorders

• Menstrual Disorders: This includes conditions like amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods), dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and menorrhagia (heavy bleeding).
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.
• Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterine cavity, causing pain and sometimes fertility problems.
• Uterine Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, and complications during pregnancy.
• Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs in the ovary which are often harmless but can sometimes cause pelvic pain and other symptoms.
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the reproductive organs, often caused by some sexually transmitted bacteria.
• Gynecological Cancers: This includes cancers of the cervix, ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva.

The causes of gynecological disorders vary widely:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Genetic factors
• Infections
• Others

Symptoms depend on the specific condition but can include: 

• Abnormal menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pain
• Discomfort during sex
• Changes in bowel habits or urinary frequency
• Issues with fertility

When to see a doctor: 

Any changes in menstrual cycle, unusual gynecological symptoms, or issues related to sexual health warrant a visit to the doctor. Regular gynecological check-ups are also crucial for early detection and management of potential issues, with the frequency depending on age, medical history, and individual risk factors. Women should consult specialists like Dr Seema to understand the most appropriate schedule for their needs.
