Gynecology

Women from the age of 20 or at the beginning of their sexual life should periodically undergo a gynecological examination to prevent possible gynecological and breast pathologies. It is a preventive check-up to attend annually even if the patient has no symptoms.

Pap smear or cytology is a test that is performed during the gynecological examination and is essential in the prevention of cancers, such as the cervix. This test allows detecting abnormalities in the cervix early and should be performed from the beginning of sexual intercourse or earlier if deemed appropriate by the gynecologist. Currently it must be done every three years, although it will be the specialist who determines its frequency.

In our unit, in addition to carrying out a program for the prevention of gynecological cancers, we have all the necessary tests for the diagnosis and treatment of these cancers. Each patient is treated in a totally personalized way according to their characteristics and clinical history.

Colposcopy is one of the tests performed in the detection of cervical cancer in order to check for abnormal cells in the cervix. The gynecologist inserts a speculum into the vagina that allows the cervix to be visualized. It is a painless test, although it can be uncomfortable when performing a cervical biopsy.

There are more than 40 types of Human Papillomavirus that are transmitted by direct sexual contact and it is the most common sexually transmitted virus. Most HPV infections do not lead to symptoms and can go away on their own, but it can still cause cervical cancer.

Vaccination against this virus is essential to prevent most cases of cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva in women or genital warts in men and women. Specialists recommend that girls be vaccinated from the age of 11 or 12 and before starting sexual intercourse.

Menopause is the stage of a woman’s life when menstruation disappears and usually begins between the ages of 47 and 52. This occurs due to a decrease in the production of female hormones (estrogens and progesterone).

Women experience a wide variety of symptoms and some of them may need treatment.

Hysteroscopy is a technique that allows you to see the uterus, it is performed without anesthesia and in the gynecologist’s office. This test, which usually lasts about 15 minutes, is performed to find out if there are malformations that affect reproduction, the reason for heavy or abnormal menstruation, confirm possible fibroids or polyps seen on ultrasound, for IUD removal and for female sterilization.

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique, which consists of making small incisions of about 5mm in different areas of the pelvis. In this way, almost all gynecological problems can be treated, such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, genital prolapse …

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease that appears due to HPV. These are easily detected as they are usually in the form of a small lump or group of lumps in the genital area. These warts can be spread during sexual intercourse.

At Ginefem we perform a laser treatment to destroy genital warts. The procedure requires the use of local or general anesthesia, depending on the case of each patient.
