Gynecological

Medicines commonly used in gynecology include hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, patches, injections), hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause, antibiotics for infections, antifungal treatments for yeast infections, and medications for managing conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids.

Irregular menstrual cycles can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, significant weight loss or gain, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and certain medications. Lifestyle changes, such as excessive exercise or poor diet, can also affect menstrual regularity.

Common side effects of hormonal birth control include nausea, headaches, weight gain, mood changes, breast tenderness, and spotting between periods. More serious but rare side effects can include blood clots, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of certain types of cancer.

Common treatments for vaginal infections include antifungal medications for yeast infections, antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and antiviral medications for viral infections. Over-the-counter treatments are available for some conditions, but prescription medications may be necessary for more severe or persistent infections.

Early signs of pregnancy complications can include severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, severe headaches, blurred vision, swelling of the hands or face, and decreased fetal movement. It is important to get medical assistance as soon as possible if you face any of these symptoms.
