Gynecological conditions — overview
Conditions in gynecological practice are very diverse. They include sexually transmitted infections, hormonal disorders, inflammatory conditions, and tumor diseases. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are key to preserving reproductive health and quality of life.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Chlamydia trachomatis — the most common bacterial STD, often asymptomatic
- HPV (condyloma) — causes genital warts and risk factors for cervical cancer
- Genital herpes — chronic viral infection with recurrent episodes
- Gonorrhea — bacterial infection with purulent discharge
- Syphilis — systemic bacterial infection with multiple stages
- HIV/AIDS — immunodeficiency viral infection
Hormonal disorders
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — irregular periods, hirsutism, anovulation
- Endometriosis — endometrial tissue presence outside the uterus
- Hyperprolactinemia — elevated prolactin with cycle disruption
- Premature menopause — ovarian failure before age 40
Structural changes
- Uterine fibroids — benign tumors of the uterine muscle wall
- Ovarian cysts — fluid-filled structures on the ovaries
- Endometrial polyps — uterine lining growths
- Asherman syndrome — intrauterine adhesions
Importance of regular check-ups
Many gynecological conditions in early stages have no pronounced symptoms. Regular gynecological examination with ultrasound, PAP test, and laboratory tests is the safest way to detect and treat all gynecological conditions early.
