Painless Delivery
Painless delivery refers to the use of an epidural injection which is given by an anaesthesiologist for pain relief during labour. Epidural doesn’t always provide 100% pain relief, but it substantially reduces pain and sensations in the lower half of the body. In early labour, pain can be managed using natural methods like warm showers, massages, and exercises.
Cesarean section
Cesarean delivery (C-section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. A C-section might be planned ahead of time if you develop pregnancy complications or you've had a previous C-section and aren't considering a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Often, however, the need for a first-time C-section doesn't become obvious until labor is underway. If you're pregnant, knowing what to expect during a C-section — both during the procedure and afterward — can help you prepare.
Suction and Evacuation
Suction and Evacuation is a surgical procedure in which the cervix is dilated or opened, and vacuum or suction is used to remove or in other words ‘evacuate’ tissue from the uterus. Other names of Suction and Evacuation are Suction Aspiration or Vacuum Aspiration. This is a method which is mainly used to remove uterine contents from the uterus through the cervix. It may be used as a method of an induced abortion procedure, after miscarriage or as a procedure to get a sample for endometrial biopsy.
MTP
There are many ways depending on the type of pills given to terminate the pregnancy. These pills are given several days before the actual abortion. Medical termination of pregnancy works best in the first 7 weeks that is 49 days of pregnancy. In the procedure, the doctor administers a pill orally or via injection on the first day. This blocks the female hormone progesterone and decreases the lining of the uterus which results in preventing the embryo from attaching and growing in the womb. To avoid any infection, antibiotics are also given to the patient on the same day. After 3-7 days, another tablet is inserted vaginally to trigger and facilitate the contractions of the uterus and push out the growing foetus. This is where the actual abortion happens, which takes about 4-7 days.
Tubal ligation
Tubal refers to the fallopian tubes. Each month, an egg is released from an ovary and travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Ligation means to tie off. This prevents the egg and male sperm from connecting to prevent pregnancy. During this surgery, both fallopian tubes are blocked or cut. It is usually done in the hospital or in an outpatient surgical clinic. In most cases, you will be able to go home on the day of surgery. You may have this surgery done under general anesthesia (being asleep), or local or spinal anesthesia (anesthesia that leaves you awake, but unable to feel pain).
Cervical circlage
Your health care provider might recommend cervical cerclage if your cervix is at risk of opening before your baby is ready to be born or, in some cases, if your cervix begins to open too early. However, cervical cerclage isn't appropriate for everyone. It can cause serious side effects and doesn't always work. Some women who have a cerclage placed for a short cervix might experience preterm labor. Understand the risks of cervical cerclage and whether the procedure might benefit you and your baby.
Tubal recanalisation
Tubal factor infertility, a significant cause of female infertility, results mostly from the consequences of pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and postoperative pelvic adhesions. Microsurgery remains an important operative technique for the management of tubal obstruction. It was introduced into gynecology primarily to improve the results of tuboplasty. In essence it involves magnification, the use of gentle tissue handling, fine sutures, meticulous methods for hemostasis, and copious irrigation. These principles are essential during laparoscopy or laparotomy. Operative laparoscopy using electrical, thermal, and laser energy, sharp and blunt dissection, ligation, and suturing techniques established the advantages of this approach for gynecologic procedures.
Hysterectomy
Uterine fibroids that cause pain, bleeding, or other problems Uterine prolapse, which is a sliding of the uterus from its normal position into the vaginal canal Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries Endometriosis Abnormal vaginal bleeding Chronic pelvic pain Adenomyosis, or a thickening of the uterus Hysterectomy for noncancerous reasons is usually considered only after all other treatment approaches have been tried without success.
Laparoscopic surgeries
Laparoscopy uses an instrument called a laparoscope to look at the abdominal organs. A laparoscope is a long, thin tube with a high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera at the front. The instrument is inserted through an incision in the abdominal wall. As it moves along, the camera sends images to a video monitor. Laparoscopy allows your doctor to see inside your body in real time, without open surgery. Your doctor also can obtain biopsy samples during this procedure.
Hysteroscopic surgeries
Hysteroscopy is a procedure that can be used to both diagnose and treat causes of abnormal bleeding. The procedure allows your doctor to look inside your uterus with a tool called a hysteroscope. This is a thin, lighted tube that is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can be a part of the diagnosis process or an operative procedure.
Cervical biopsy
A cervical biopsy is a surgical procedure in which a small amount of tissue is removed from the cervix. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus located at the end of the vagina. A cervical biopsy is usually done after an abnormality has been found during a routine pelvic exam or Pap smear. Abnormalities can include the presence of the human papillomavirus (HPV), or cells that are precancerous. Certain types of HPV can put you at risk for developing cervical cancer.
Pap smear
Pap smear or Pap test is performed to check for cervical cancer in females. Pap smear involves the scraping of the cells from the cervix, which is a narrow, lower end of the uterus, present at the top of the vagina. This collection of cells sample is then sent to the lab to be reviewed under the microscope. The Pap smear test enables the physician to make an intervention and thereby helps in curing cervical cancer, if detected at an early stage.
IUI
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination — is a procedure for treating infertility.The hoped-for outcome of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize a waiting egg, resulting in a normal pregnancy. Depending on the reasons for infertility, IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with fertility medications.
Icsi
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialised form of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) that is used primarily for the treatment of severe cases of male-factor infertility. ICSI involves the injection of a single sperm directly into a mature egg. we use a medium named Sperm Slow™ during sperm selection. This medium contains hyaluronan (HA), which binds sperm that are more likely to have normal DNA, and thus allows selection of these bound sperm for injection. By selecting the sperm that are bound to HA and using them for ICSI, the embryologists are preferentially using the better-quality, more mature sperm. This technique using HA is standard practice.
Ivf
Today, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is practically a household word. But not so long ago, it was a mysterious procedure for infertility that produced what were then known as "test-tube babies." Louise Brown, born in England in 1978, was the first such baby to be conceived outside her mother's womb.
Follicualr
Ultrasound Monitoring enables the doctor to understand the status of the uterus, in terms of size and shape, the endometrium and ovaries.Abnormalities in these could help to explain why a woman has difficulty in conceiving. It also identifies ovarian cysts, pelvic collection, hydrosalpinx etc. which may have a deter-mental effect on the IVF outcome and can change the plan of treatment
