Obstetrician–Gynaecologist / Gynaecologist: What Is the Difference?
In Türkiye, following graduation from medical school, physicians take the Medical Specialisation Examination and begin specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. During this training programme, they receive education covering every stage of pregnancy, including conception, antenatal follow-up, high-risk pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or pockets that develop within or on the surface of an ovary. The ovaries are approximately 2–3 cm in size and are located on either side of the uterus, with one end connected to the uterus and the other to the lateral abdominal wall.
Many women develop ovarian cysts from time to time. Most ovarian cysts cause little or no discomfort and are harmless. The majority disappear spontaneously within a few months without treatment.
What Is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a surgical technique in which the abdominal cavity is accessed through incisions measuring approximately 0.5 to 1 cm. The intra-abdominal organs are visualised using a camera, and the operation is performed with the assistance of specialised surgical instruments.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health condition that affects one in every ten women of reproductive age and may cause symptoms such as irregular menstrual periods, infertility and increased hair growth. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome may experience hormonal imbalances and metabolic problems that can affect their general health and physical appearance. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common and treatable cause of infertility.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (Uterine Prolapse)
Pelvic organ prolapse is the herniation or downward displacement of the intra-abdominal organs through the vaginal walls. Pelvic organ prolapse is a common health problem affecting millions of women worldwide. Although many women recognise and report that this condition affects their daily activities and sexual function, they do not consult a physician or express their complaints.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence, or involuntary leakage of urine, is a condition that affects millions of women worldwide. Although it is more common among older women, it can also affect younger women. Urinary incontinence is not a natural part of ageing, nor is it a condition that women have to live with.
