Gynaecological Infections: Symptoms, Prevention & Treatment

What is Gynaecology?

Gynaecology is a medical branch that deals with women's reproductive health. It includes care and treatment of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. Every woman — from teenage to old age — needs regular gynaecological check-ups to stay healthy.

A gynecology doctor reviews the patient's history, ensures comfort, and explains each step. The exam includes inspecting external genitalia, a speculum pelvic exam, and a bimanual exam to assess the uterus and ovaries, all performed with care.

What Are Gynaecological Infections?

Gynaecological infections are very common in women and can affect the quality of life if ignored. These infections affect the female reproductive organs and can happen due to bacteria, fungi, or viruses. In India, many women avoid or delay treatment due to social stigma, lack of awareness, or access to proper care.

Types of Common Gynaecological Infections

  • Yeast Infections: Caused by a fungus named Candida.

  • Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): Overgrowth of natural vaginal bacteria.

  • Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea.

  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): A serious condition affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries.

Symptoms to Watch Out For

If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to consult a gynaecologist for early diagnosis and treatment.

How to Prevent Gynaecological Infections
