This specialty associates prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the female genitourinary tract and follows pregnancy, labour and puerperium in a medical and surgical perspective.
Ask your doctor for advise on the frequency of complimentary exams needed for the prevention and screening of the most common diseases at different times of reproductive life.
During her life, a woman goes through different stages of the reproductive function, which imply physiological changes and the onset of conditions such as delayed menarche (1st menstruation), infertility, changes in the menstrual cycle, uterine infectious diseases (HPV infection of the cervix), and, mostly and later on, urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, uterine fibroids and neoplastic diseases (uterus, ovary and vagina cancer). The Gynaecology & Obstetrics team is ready to deal with all these conditions.
Gynaecology & Obstetrics specialists are also responsible for the follow-up of pregnancy, labour and post labour (puerperium), both in the medical approach (monitoring in the regular appointments for pregnancy vigilance) and in surgical approach (labour related situations).
This specialty frequently recurs to complimentary exams for diagnosis, such as the periodic foetal ultrasound during pregnancy and other imaging exams such as the mammography and the MRI, for prevention and monitoring of mammary and gynaecologic pathologies.
Ask for your doctor's advice on how often you should take complimentary exams in order to screen and prevent the most common diseases in each stage of your reproductive life.
