About This Presentation

Description : Common Gynecological Disorders: An Overview Gynecological disorders are a group of medical conditions that affect the female reproductive system, leading to symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to serious health complications. This presentation covers the most common gynecological disorders, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and menstrual disorders. PCOS is one of the most prevalent hormonal disorders, causing irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and fertility issues. Endometriosis, on the other hand, is characterized by the growth of tissue similar to the uterine lining outside the uterus, causing pelvic pain and infertility. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, leading to heavy menstrual bleeding and pain. The presentation delves into the symptoms, causes, and diagnostic tools for these disorders, such as ul

Introduction to Gynecological Disorders Gynecological disorders are conditions that affect the female reproductive system. They can range from mild discomfort to serious health issues affecting fertility and quality of life. This presentation will cover common gynecological disorders, including their symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
Slide 4-

Menstrual Disorders Dysmenorrhea: Painful periods; may be primary (without underlying disease) or secondary (due to conditions like endometriosis). Amenorrhea: Absence of menstruation; can be primary (menstruation never begins) or secondary (cessation after menstruation has begun). Menorrhagia: Heavy menstrual bleeding; can be caused by hormonal imbalances or conditions like fibroids. Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): Physical and emotional symptoms before menstruation. Reference: Mayo Clinic. (2021). Menstrual Disorders.
Slide 5-

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) A common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. Symptoms: Irregular periods, hirsutism (excess facial/body hair), acne, weight gain, and infertility. Causes: Imbalance in reproductive hormones (elevated androgens), insulin resistance. Diagnosis: Ultrasound showing multiple ovarian cysts, blood tests for hormone levels. Treatment: Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise), hormonal treatments (birth control pills), medications to manage symptoms. Reference: National Institutes of Health (NIH). (2021). Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Slide 6-

Endometriosis A condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. Symptoms: Severe menstrual cramps, chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, infertility. Diagnosis: Laparoscopy is the gold standard; imaging (ultrasound or MRI) may also be used. Treatment: Pain management (NSAIDs), hormonal therapy (oral contraceptives), and surgery in severe cases. Reference: Endometriosis Foundation of America. (2021). Endometriosis: Symptoms and Treatments.
Slide 7-

Uterine Fibroids Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that commonly appear during childbearing years. Symptoms: Heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and in severe cases, infertility. Types: Submucosal, intramural, and subserosal fibroids. Diagnosis: Pelvic exam, ultrasound, MRI. Treatment: Medications to shrink fibroids, hormonal therapy, and surgery (myomectomy or hysterectomy). Reference: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). (2021). Uterine Fibroids.
Slide 8-

Vaginal Infections Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): An imbalance of vaginal bacteria, resulting in discharge with a fishy odor. Candidiasis (Yeast Infection): Overgrowth of Candida yeast, causing itching and thick white discharge. Trichomoniasis: A sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite, resulting in frothy discharge and itching. Diagnosis: Pelvic exam, vaginal swabs, pH testing. Treatment: Antibiotics for BV and trichomoniasis, antifungal medications for yeast infections. Reference:Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). (2021). Vaginal Infections and STIs.
Slide 9-

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) A serious infection of the female reproductive organs, often caused by STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Symptoms: Lower abdominal pain, fever, unusual discharge, pain during intercourse, and irregular bleeding. Complications: Infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain. Diagnosis: Pelvic exam, ultrasound, lab tests. Treatment: Antibiotics, and in severe cases, hospitalization or surgery. Reference: National Health Service (NHS). (2021). Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID).
Slide 10-

Ovarian Cysts Fluid-filled sacs that form in or on the ovaries, often during ovulation. Types: Functional cysts (related to the menstrual cycle), dermoid cysts, cystadenomas, and endometriomas. Symptoms: Often asymptomatic, but larger cysts can cause pelvic pain, bloating, or pain during intercourse. Diagnosis: Pelvic ultrasound, MRI. Treatment: Observation for small cysts, surgical removal if large or symptomatic. Reference:Cleveland Clinic. (2021). Ovarian Cysts: Symptoms and Treatment.
Slide 11-

Gynecological Cancer (Overview) Cervical Cancer: Detected via Pap smear; linked to HPV infection. Ovarian Cancer: Often asymptomatic in early stages, diagnosed through pelvic exams and imaging. Endometrial (Uterine) Cancer: Associated with postmenopausal bleeding; diagnosed through endometrial biopsy. Vulvar Cancer: Symptoms include itching and lesions; diagnosed via biopsy. Treatment: Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, depending on the cancer type and stage. Reference: World Health Organization (WHO). (2021). Gynecological Cancers.
