Gynecology: an insight about its Real Aspect

Common people often comprehend that the term gynecology is confined only to the delivery of a baby. However this is a partial truth. Gynecology is a very broad spectrum, which includes the medical practice handling the health of the female reproductive systems (uterus, ovaries and vagina) and the breasts. The head of the best gynecology Doctor in Gurgaon, Gurgaon Gynecology Group Doctor Ragini Agarwal states that literally gynecology means ‘Science of woman’ beyond medical language. It involves a complete care of a woman.  Normally a woman seeks to take the help of a general practitioner at the initial stage. However, when her problems do require special knowledge, expertise then she is referred to a gynecologist. Doctor Ragini firmly convicts that a gynecological examination is quite more intimate than other routine physical exam.

This gynecological inspection requires an instrument called as speculum, which consists of two hinged blades of concave plastic or metal to draw in the tissues of the vagina and allow the examination of the cervix. Cervix is the lower of the uterus positioned within the higher portion of the vagina. Normally gynecologists do a bimanual examination that is their one hand is kept on the tummy and one or two fingers in the vagina to palpate the cervix, uterus, bony pelvis and ovaries. If the presence of any suspicious matter is expected than cross vaginal examination is conducted for the complete assessment of the pelvis.  A vaginal and abdominal ultrasound may be used to substantiate any irregularity suspected during the bimanual examination or even indicated by the concerned female medical history.

Coming with more than 27 years of experience in the gynecology field, Doctor Ragini illustrates that a gynecologist can handle the following situation: 

 Amenorrhoes (absence of menstrual periods)

 Dysmenorrhoea (agonizing menstrual periods)

 Cancer and pre-cancerous ailments of the reproductive organs like fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina, ovaries

 Incontinence of urine

 Menorrhagia (serious menstrual periods)

 Infertility

 Other types of vaginal ailments

Therapies:  Doctor Ragini further shares her ideas that a gynecologist may execute medical or surgical therapies depending upon the precise nature of the issue. Antibiotics, diuretics, antiemetics and antihypersensitives come under the medication area. In addition to this a gynecologist may also utilize hormone modulating therapy to heal the female genital disorders which are responsive to gonadal and/or pituitary signals.

Notwithstanding with all such treatments, surgery is considered as the best solution in the gynecology department.

A gynecologist may perform following type of surgeries:

• Hysterectomy (elimination of the uterus)
• Dialation and curettage (elimination of the uterine contents due to some serious reasons)
• Oophorectomy (elimination of the ovaries)
• Hysteroscopy (check up of the uterine cavity)
• Diagnostic laparoscopy- It is used to identify and heal sources of pelvic and abdominal pain
• Surgical treatments for urinary incontinence

Doctor Ragini states that although male gynecologists have outnumbered their female counterparts. However, now a day’s things are changing due to the proper expansion of education among girls. It is inevitable that a husband will never prefer that his wife should undergo such kind of intimate examination with any male doctor. Further things are under scanner at the character of the male doctor concerned, too.
