Gynecology

The Clinic's medical offer in the area of gynecology is very broad and ranges from simple check-ups to complex operative procedures. The offer of our gynecological services includes the following:

Diagnosis and prevention of cancer diseases: 

  • Cytological examinations 

    Cytological examination is performed to prevent and detect precancerous condition and invasive cervical carcinoma, as well as to assess the effects of their treatment. It also enables discovering inflammatory lesions of vagina and hormonal evaluation of menstrual cycle. This examination consists in microscopic evaluation of epithelial cells that cover the walls of the vagina. Cytology should be performed every 1-2 years (depending on age, taking medications and medical indications) by women who began sexual intercourse.

  • Histopathological examination 

    Histopathology is the most accurate examination, that enables detecting tumors even at an early stage. It consists in collecting a cells sample or tissues specimen. The examination is performed on the doctor's prescription. The final results are provided within 10 days. 

  • Determination of tumor antigens 

    The examination is used to detect cervical changes in the human's body. It involves collecting blood samples and determining the level of antigens that are contained in it. Increased amount of these substances in the body indicates the cancer. Determination of tumor antigens should be performed by women who have a positive family history (mother, grandmother who had a cancer) or there are medical indications for performing examination. 

Diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases: 

  • Breast ultrasound 

    Ultrasound is a safe and painless method of assessing the breasts condition. It effectively detects both mild disease changes and dangerous cervical changes. The examination is performed with ultrasound device and a special probe, thanks to that it is non-invasive and can be performed repeatedly. Breast ultrasound should be performed every 12 - 18 months by women who are 24 years old or older.

  • Biopsja cienkoigłowa

    Biopsję wykonuje się w celu określenia, czy wykryte w piersiach zmiany (w badaniu USG lub mammograficznym) są łagodne, czy mogą prowadzić do powstania nowotworu. Zabieg ten polega na pobraniu próbki komórek z wykrytej w sutku zmiany guzkowej. Biopsja jest bezbolesna i wykonywana pod kontrolą USG. Cały zabieg trwa kilka minut i nie wymaga pobytu w Klinice.

Fine-needle biopsy 

Biopsy is performed to determine whether the changes detected in breasts (in ultrasound or mammography examination) are mild, or may lead to cancer. This examination involves collecting cells samples from nodular changes detected in breast. A biopsy is painless and accompanied by ultrasound examination. The whole procedure takes a few minutes and does not require hospitalization.

Perineoplasty 

Perineoplasty is a gynecological procedure correcting changes in the women's reproductive organs that appeared in a course of childbirth or heavy physical work. They are associated with stretching and lowering the vaginal walls and enlargement of the vestibule and the entrance to the vagina. Perineoplasty involves suturing perineal muscles and removing excess vaginal mucosa in order to match the correct anatomical condition. The procedure takes about 40 minutes. After surgery the patient may return home the next day and recovers sexual capacity after 6-8 weeks. 

Treatment of erosions 

Erosion is the most common lesion of the cervix. It consists of abnormal changes in cervical epithelium. Untreated erosion may lead to development of dangerous illnesses such as cervical cancer. Most erosions are diagnosed during routine gynecology examination, because of the lack of visible symptoms associated with this disease. Patients with erosion should be under constant supervision of a gynecologist. Erosion can be treated using conservative, or operational method. The choice of treatment depends on the result of cytology, colposcopy or histopathology examination.
