Frequently Asked QuestionsAn OBGYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) specialises in women's reproductive health, including pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the reproductive system.
An obstetrician primarily focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, ensuring the health and well-being of both the mother and baby.
Common symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during intercourse, and infertility.
Endometriosis is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, pelvic exams, imaging tests (such as ultrasound), and sometimes laparoscopic surgery for confirmation.

Heavy menstrual bleeding is diagnosed based on the medical history given by the women. There are various tests that can be done including blood tests and ultrasound to help guide the management of this condition.
Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus. The exact cause is unknown, but factors such as hormonal fluctuations and genetic predisposition may contribute to their development.
Treatment options for fibroids include medications to manage symptoms, minimally invasive procedures such as uterine artery embolization or focused ultrasound surgery, and surgical removal of the fibroids (myomectomy) or the entire uterus (hysterectomy).
Common causes of infertility in men include low sperm count, sperm abnormalities, and hormonal imbalances. In women, common causes include ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, and endometriosis.
Endometriosis can affect fertility by causing inflammation, scarring, and distortion of reproductive organs. Women with endometriosis can also have a lower ovarian reserve (egg count) that could contribute to delay in conception. Treatment options for women trying to conceive may include non hormonal medications, laparoscopic surgery to remove endometriosis lesions, or assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF.
Advanced laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, performed through small incisions using a camera and specialised instruments. Traditional open surgery involves larger incisions and direct visualisation of the surgical site. Women who undergo laparoscopic surgery have less pain post surgery, shorter hospital stay and are able to mobilise better leading to a quicker recovery with less postoperative complications
Conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancies, and certain types of infertility can be treated with advanced laparoscopic surgery.
Recovery after advanced laparoscopic surgery is typically faster than traditional open surgery. Patients may experience less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to normal activities. However, individual recovery times may vary depending on the specific procedure and patient's overall health.
