Gynaecology

Introduction

Gynaecology is the area of focus of the Women’s Health Centre here at Hospital Picaso. Women of all ages may suffer from various health conditions affecting the female reproductive system. As such, routine screenings and checkups are highly recommended for early detection here at Hospital Picaso.

Common Conditions

Women are susceptible to cancers that are unique to their reproductive system. While cervical cancer and ovarian cancer are more common, a small percentage of women may also develop vaginal and vulvar cancer.

You may also see a gynaecologist for less life-threatening issues. Menstrual cycle Irregularities or excessive menstrual bleeding are conditions that can occur in female teenagers and adult women.

• Sexually transmitted diseases
