Women’s Health Guide: Common Gynaecological Conditions, Their Solutions & Prevention Tips

1. Irregular Menstrual Cycles

🩸 Problem:

Irregular periods may mean early or delayed cycles, or missed periods altogether. Causes include stress, hormonal imbalance, PCOS, thyroid issues, or lifestyle factors.

✅ Solution:

Hormonal therapy or medications to regulate cycles
Treat underlying conditions like thyroid or PCOS
Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress control)

⚠️ Precautions:

Track periods regularly
Avoid extreme dieting or overexercising
Consult early if cycles are consistently irregular

2. Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia)

🩸 Problem:

Excessive or prolonged bleeding can cause fatigue, anemia, and disrupt daily life.

✅ Solution:

Medication to reduce bleeding (tranexamic acid, hormonal pills)
Iron supplements for anemia
Ultrasound to rule out fibroids or polyps
Surgical options (if needed): D&C or hysteroscopy

⚠️ Precautions:

Don’t ignore frequent changes of pads/tampons
Get a pelvic ultrasound if bleeding persists

3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

🩸 Problem:

PCOS causes irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and excessive hair growth due to hormonal imbalance.

✅ Solution:

Lifestyle changes: weight loss, low-carb diet
Medications to regulate hormones and induce ovulation
Fertility support if trying to conceive

⚠️ Precautions:

Early diagnosis can prevent infertility and diabetes
Monitor blood sugar and cholesterol levels regularly

4. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

💧 Problem:

Burning during urination, frequent urge, and pelvic discomfort are signs of UTI.

✅ Solution:

Antibiotics (after urine culture)
Increased water intake
Good hygiene practices

⚠️ Precautions:

Avoid using harsh soaps in the genital area
Urinate after sexual intercourse
Don’t hold urine for long periods

5. Vaginal Infections (Yeast or Bacterial Vaginosis)

🦠 Problem:

Itching, abnormal discharge, odor, and irritation in the vaginal area.

✅ Solution:

Antifungal or antibiotic vaginal creams or tablets
Treat both partners in some cases

⚠️ Precautions:

Avoid douching and scented hygiene products
Wear cotton underwear
Maintain proper hygiene

6. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

⚠️ Problem:

Infection of the reproductive organs, often caused by untreated STIs. Can cause pain, fever, or infertility.

✅ Solution:

Antibiotic course
Partner treatment
Hospitalization in severe cases

⚠️ Precautions:

Safe sex practices
Early treatment of vaginal infections and STIs

7. Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts

🧬 Problem:

Benign tumors or fluid-filled sacs in the uterus or ovaries may cause pain, bleeding, or fertility issues.

✅ Solution:

Medication for symptom relief
Regular monitoring via ultrasound
Surgical removal (if large or symptomatic)

⚠️ Precautions:

Routine pelvic exams
Don’t ignore heavy periods or pelvic pressure

8. Infertility

🧪 Problem:

Inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse.

✅ Solution:

Hormonal and fertility testing (for both partners)
Ovulation induction, ultrasound tracking
Referral for IUI/IVF if needed

⚠️ Precautions:

Healthy lifestyle and stress reduction
Seek help early — especially after age 30

9. Menopause Management

🔄 Problem:

Hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, and vaginal dryness during or after menopause.

Hormone replacement therapy (if suitable)
Vaginal creams for dryness
Calcium, Vitamin D, and lifestyle advice
