Gynaecological Treatments We Offer 

Routine Gynaecological Visits

The following steps are involved in routine gynaecological checkups in Dubai.

Information – Awareness is essential, so the first and foremost step is to provide you with enough information regarding different problems. For example, how do these problems occur, and what can be the symptoms?

Prevention – In the next step of the visit, our gynaecologist will let you know about the preventive methods for various diseases. Remember, prevention is better than cure. Therefore, it is best if you prevent the onset of a disease instead of getting treatment afterwards.

Examination – During the checkup, our doctors will examine you thoroughly. We conduct thorough examinations to ensure all potential concerns are addressed, as some complications might not manifest with noticeable symptoms. So, a detailed examination is a MUST.

Treatments –  If any concerns arise from the tests and examinations, we will guide you through the best treatment options tailored to your needs. You don’t have to worry while visiting Euromed Clinic for your treatment. We have a complete assessment and treatment plan for you so that you can enjoy a healthy life.

Ultrasound Treatment in Dubai

All of these ultrasounds are quite safe and allow both doctors and parents to see the baby in the mother’s womb. Furthermore, 3D and 4D technology can help detect if the baby is developing any kind of disease or has any birth defects. The purpose of these ultrasonic images is to check the health of both the child and the mother and to monitor development. The primary concern is to assess the medical condition of the patient. It is advisable to discuss any risks and concerns with your doctor before undergoing the procedure.

Paediatric and Adolescent Gynecology

Paediatric and adolescent gynaecology is the branch of gynaecology that deals with the ovaries, uterus, vulva, and vagina, of infants, children, as well as adolescents. Usually, abnormal menstrual bleeding and menstrual disorders are diagnosed and prevention is provided by the doctors. Hence, the main aspect is to take care of the health of the female reproductive system.

Family Planning and Contraception

Here, at Euromed Clinic, we are providing different procedures that may help you in planning your family as well as taking care of your reproductive health. Have a look at the treatment options that you may get from us;

• Fertility awareness.
• Tubal ligation and vasectomy are known as the procedures of permanent contraception.
• Diaphragms and condoms are known as the barrier methods.
• Vaginal rings, injections, and pills for hormonal contraception.
• Long-acting adjustable contraception, for example, intrauterine. 

Cervical Cancer Screening in Dubai

The two most common screening tests for cervical cancer diagnosis are the HPV test and Pap smear test. Here is a brief description of both these tests.

HPV Test

An HPV test involves checking for virus strains that can increase the risk of cervical cancer or high-risk HPV strains associated with cervical cancer. During this test, a sample of cells is taken from the cervix. This sample is analysed for the presence of high-risk HPV. However, it is essential to note that the presence of HPV doesn’t always mean that you have cervical cancer. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe other tests for a thorough diagnosis.

Pap Smear Test

A Pap smear test involves collecting cells from the cervix to check for the changes that, if left untreated, could lead to cervical cancer. This test can help find both precancerous and cervical cancer cells.

A Pap smear test involves inserting a speculum to widen the vagina. Then, the practitioner inserts a brush that collects cervical cells. These cells are sent to a lab where they are analysed for precancerous changes or signs of cancer. 

Sometimes, for detailed analysis, a cervical screening procedure can involve both HPV and PAP smear tests.

Breast and Ovarian Cancer Screening Test

For breast cancer screening tests, mammograms and breast ultrasounds are considered the two common techniques, as discussed below. 

Mammogram

A mammogram is a widely known method for breast cancer screening

During the mammography, the doctor takes images of the breasts with the help of an X-ray to detect abnormalities before the tumour or any lump appears. 

Breast Ultrasound

Another technique used for breast cancer screening is breast ultrasound. During this procedure, the device uses sound waves to get images of breast tissues. It is a safe option for women as there is no radiation involved. 

Vaginitis and Vaginal Discharge

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the bacteria, caused by an infection, a change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria, or reduced estrogen levels after menopause. Symptoms include vaginal itching/irritation, painful urination, a change in the colour or smell of vaginal discharge, pain during intercourse and light vaginal bleeding.

How is it diagnosed?

First of all, your medical history will be taken and our doctor will note your presenting complaints. After that, your pelvic exam will be performed. After that, the treatment is based on the symptoms presented and the identified underlying cause. Some of the examples are as follows:

Oral antifungal medicine or antifungal creams for the treatment of yeast infections.

Usually, estrogen is used to treat atrophic vaginitis that is presented in the form of rings, tablets, or creams.

Clindamycin cream or metronidazole gel is normally prescribed or our doctor may prescribe you oral metronidazole tablets if you are diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.

Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)

What is STD?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are infections that are predominantly spread from one person to another through sexual contact. They are spread through oral, vaginal, and anal sex as well as through blood and other bodily fluids. There are types of STDs that are spread non-sexually through skin-to-skin contact and from mother to child. 

Because some STDs may not present with noticeable symptoms, it’s possible to contract the diseases from individuals who seem perfectly healthy, and sometimes they may not even know that they have an infection. That is why getting STD tests is important.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to an infection that affects the reproductive organs in women. The pelvis, located in the lower abdomen, includes the Fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and the ovaries. This infectious disease is common among women; according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, it affects almost 1 million women every year. Here at Euromed, we provide screening assistance for PID so that you can address the issue early.

Genital Warts Treatment

While genital warts will seem like going away, their root cause – HPV – will likely linger in the affected area for a longer period. Sometimes, the body can clear the virus on its own. This may mean recurrent outbreaks in the future. Therefore, managing symptoms is vital to prevent HPV from transmitting to other people. But remember, you may still be passing on this virus even if you do not see or experience any symptoms.

It’s not recommended to treat genital warts with over-the-counter medications without consulting a doctor. You will need to discuss the treatment with your doctor. 

Medications: These are usually topical treatments mainly using Condylox, Aldera, or TCA.

Surgery: It is a minor operation where the doctor removes the HPV-affected area.

Colposcopy

A colposcopy is a gynaecological procedure used to assess your vulva, vagina, and cervix after the abnormal cells have been discovered in your cervical smear. It also determines if the elimination of abnormal cells is essential or not. Moreover, colposcopy investigates the reason for abnormal vaginal bleeding. It involves inserting a speculum into the vagina, after which a microscope with light is used to examine your cervix.

Cervical Cancer Prevention

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus and cancer that occurs in this part is known as cervical cancer. Various risk factors cause this cancerous infection. The strains of HPV are the main risk factor. Usually, a woman’s immune system can clear the HPV virus before it causes harm. Hence, for some women, the virus can survive for many years, leading to the development of cervical cancer. Here, at Euromed Clinic, our professionals are working hard to provide you with the best prevention methods for cervical cancer prevention.

Uterine Abnormalities

Uterine abnormalities are rare but they can happen. It is often a genetic issue. However, If you are diagnosed with it, it indicates that you were born with it. This type of abnormality is linked to the functioning of external genitalia and ovaries. In some cases, the abnormalities become noticeable during puberty, while in others, no one can observe the slight changes.   

Uterine Polyps 

Uterine polyps are typically diagnosed through a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or hysteroscopy (a procedure where a thin tube with a camera is inserted through the cervix to view the inside of the uterus). For more information regarding treatment, its cost, and our expert panel, please call Euromed Clinic. 

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a health condition characterised by enlarged ovaries containing small groups of fluid-filled sacs. This condition significantly impacts a woman’s hormonal balance. Typically, women between the ages of 15 and 44 may experience this health issue. A definitive diagnosis is crucial to receive appropriate treatment. Our expert doctors emphasise the importance of screening for early detection and prevention. 

Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Dubai

There are different types of urinary incontinence treatments but they vary depending on the type of incontinence, severity, and underlying cause the patient has. If there is an underlying condition, your practitioner will treat that first. 

The treatment options include:

Physiotherapy and behavioural therapy: These include exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles and improve pelvic support to help regain control of the bladder and maintain continence. Monitoring fluid intake and scheduling toilet visits can also be effective in treating urinary incontinence.

Medication: There are some drugs that aid in relaxing the bladder. However, you can take the medicines only upon the prescription of your healthcare provider. 

Surgery: This can be done to correct poor bladder support.

Infertility Treatment in Dubai

Infertility treatments are available in three types:

• Medicines
• Surgery
• Assisted conception, such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI)

Medicines

Your doctor may prescribe the following medicines to improve fertility:

Clomifene – encourages ovulation in women with irregular ovulation or no ovulation at all

Tamoxifen – promotes ovulation like clomifene

Metformin – helps women with PCOS

Some medicines can cause hot flashes, headaches, nausea, or other side effects. These side effects can vary in severity, and don’t occur in every patient. Speak to your doctor to explore options to avoid these side effects.

Surgical Treatments

Various surgical procedures are available to help couples conceive. Those procedures include the following:

Fallopian tube surgery: This treatment is provided to women with blocked or scarred fallopian tubes. During surgery, the scar tissue is broken up to allow easy passage of the eggs.

Laparoscopy: Laparoscopic surgical treatment is generally provided to women with endometriosis, fibroids, or PCOS. The surgeon uses heat or laser energy to destroy problematic tissue during this treatment.

Surgery to correct epididymal blockage: This treatment is provided to men with blocked epididymis – the coil-like structure that stores and transports sperm. This blockage prevents the release of sperm, causing infertility.

Assisted Conception

The two most common assisted conception procedures are;

In vitro fertilisation (IVF): During this treatment, the egg is fertilised outside the body with sperm and is placed into the womb. The doctor may give you fertility medicine to encourage ovulation prior to extracting the eggs.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI): This procedure is also called artificial insemination. It involves inserting a thin tube into the womb through the cervix to place sperm, inducing pregnancy.

Laser Vaginal/Anal Lightening

Laser vaginal lightening or bleaching, also known as a bikini whitening treatment, is a cosmetic procedure that lightens your vaginal area. It utilises laser light that targets melanin pigment, thus reducing the darkening in the vaginal region. Also, it is a safe and effective laser procedure that offers permanent results.

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding – Heavy Period Treatment

Once the underlying causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding are identified, treatment can begin. The experts at the Euromed Clinic Center Dubai have different techniques to treat this condition. Again, the choice of treatment depends on the real reasons for the problem. Generally, doctors prescribe medication or recommend one of the following:

• Birth control pills
• Surgical intervention
• Endometrial ablation
• Dilation and curettage (D&C)
• Uterine fibroid embolization
• Hormone-releasing intrauterine devices

Uterine Fibroids

Treatments for uterine fibroids fall into two categories: medication and surgery. Your healthcare provider will recommend the most suitable option after determining the severity of your condition.

Here is a brief overview of the options to treat uterine fibroids.

Medication

Your doctor may recommend medications if your fibroids need treatment. However, you will probably need to meet a gynaecologist if you want to discuss more treatment options.

Generally, the medication options for fibroids include medicines for symptoms and shrinking fibroids. Here is what’s included in both of these options:

Medication for symptoms: Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), Tranexamic acid, anti-inflammatory drugs, contraceptive pills, oral progestogen, and injectable progestogen

Medication to shrink fibroids: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHas) and Ulipristal acetate.

Surgery

Your doctor may recommend the surgical option to remove uterine fibroids if medication has not been effective or your symptoms are severe. Generally, your doctor will refer you to a gynaecologist who will discuss the appropriate surgical option to treat your condition.

The main surgical options to treat fibroids include the following:

• Myomectomy 
• Hysterectomy
• Hysteroscopic resection of fibroids
• Hysteroscopic morcellation of fibroids

Gynaecological Surgery

Gynaecological surgery refers to any surgical procedure involving the structures or organs of the female pelvic region, such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. The surgeon may also perform this surgery to treat urinary tract issues, including those affecting the bladder.

Gynaecological surgeries range between minimally invasive and fully invasive, depending on the health condition. Some of these procedures are performed in the office, while others are in the hospital.
