During childbirth, contractions occur to remove the baby from the womb, and many different methods can be used to remove the baby from the body. These methods include normal delivery through the birth canal or cesarean section.

Gynecological diseases and their treatments may vary according to the level and characteristics of the disease. For example:

• Medication Therapy: Many women may respond to medication for the disease. For example, hormone treatments or intrauterine devices (IUDs) may be used to regulate menstrual irregularities. In treating PCOS, diets and medications can be used for weight loss. During menopause, hormone replacement therapy may be used to prevent the decrease in the hormone estrogen.
• Surgical intervention: In some female diseases, surgical intervention may be required. For example, for women suffering from pain due to endometriosis, endometriosis lesions may need to be removed. In addition, it may be necessary to remove ovarian cysts and myomas and, if necessary, to perform uterine removal surgeries.
• Diet and exercise: In treating certain female diseases, diet and exercise can also be effective. For example, diets and exercise programs that promote weight loss can be used to treat PCOS. In addition, diets and exercises may be recommended to protect bone health in the treatment of osteoporosis.
• Psychological support: Some gynecological diseases may be associated with psychological factors such as stress and anxiety. For example, problems such as depression and anxiety during menopause may be encountered. In these cases, psychological support and therapies can also be effective.

FAQ about Obstetrics and Gynecology

What are the types of gynecological diseases?

Gynecological diseases refer to physiological or psychological problems that affect women. The following diseases can be counted among the gynecological diseases:

• Menstrual irregularities: Menstrual irregularities show changes in the frequency, duration, and amount of menstruation.
• Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition that occurs when tissue cells of the endometrium (inner layer of the uterus) settle in other parts of the body. This can lead to painful periods and difficulty in pregnancy.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): PCOS is a condition that occurs due to an imbalance of hormones produced by the ovaries. This condition can cause acne, weight gain, and menstrual irregularities on the skin due to an imbalance of sex hormones.
• Menopause: Although menopause is not a disease, it is a period that the obstetrician should follow. It is the end of women's fertile periods. During menopause, the hormone estrogen produced by the ovaries decreases, which causes various physiological changes in the body. These changes include problems such as vaginal dryness and hot flashes.
