When should you consider gynecological surgery?
You may be a candidate for reproductive surgery if you are experiencing:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Painful periods (cramping that disrupts daily life)
- A feeling of fullness, swelling, or bloating in your abdomen
- Known fibroids or polyps
- Benign (non-cancerous) masses
- Ongoing pelvic pain
If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, it may be time to talk with a specialist about your options.

Common reproductive conditions requiring surgery
-
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Bleeding that is heavier, longer, or more irregular than normal. This can have many causes, including hormonal changes, fibroids, or polyps.
-
Adenomyosis
When the lining of the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. It can lead to heavy, painful periods and an enlarged uterus.
-
Endometriosis
A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This can cause painful periods, pelvic pain, and sometimes difficulty getting pregnant.
-
Fibroids
Non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Fibroids can cause heavy periods, pelvic pressure, bloating, or pain.
-
Ovarian cysts
Fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries. Many are harmless and go away on their own, but some can cause pain, bloating, or discomfort.
-
Pelvic organ prolapse
A condition where pelvic organs (such as the uterus or bladder) shift out of place and press into the vaginal area. This may cause a feeling of pressure or fullness.
-
Uterine polyps
Small, usually benign growths in the lining of the uterus. They may lead to irregular or heavy bleeding, especially between periods.
-
Vaginal hernia
A condition where the top of the vagina weakens and drops down, sometimes after a hysterectomy, which can cause pressure, fullness, or a bulge in the vaginal area.

The right gynecological treatment for you
We offer a full range of surgical procedures tailored to your condition and goals, including:
Endometrial ablation
A minimally invasive procedure that removes or destroys the lining of the uterus to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding.
Hysterectomy
Surgical removal of the uterus, recommended for certain conditions such as fibroids, chronic pain, or abnormal bleeding when other treatments haven’t worked.
Myomectomy
A procedure to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, often an option for women who wish to maintain fertility.
Tubal ligation
A permanent form of birth control that blocks or seals the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy.
