Gynecology Specialist

What is a gynecologist?

A gynecologist is a medical provider in the field of gynecology, which focuses on caring for women and providing diagnosis, care, and treatment relating to the female reproductive system.

The female reproductive system encompasses the uterus, vagina, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, and breasts. Gynecology can involve a multitude of screenings, tests, procedures, and other services customized to suit the needs of each woman.

Dr. Das provides mammograms and Pap smears when necessary during your annual well-woman exam to detect any potential gynecological problems or early signs of cancer and other abnormalities.

What are the most common gynecological issues?

Numerous gynecological issues can affect you at different stages of your life. Some of the most common include:

Polycystic ovarian syndrome

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder involving a hormonal imbalance where you have irregular periods or excess levels of male hormones. In some cases, your ovaries can form small collections of fluid and become unable to release eggs properly, often impacting fertility.

Urinary tract infection

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection involving some part of your urinary system, which includes your kidneys, urethra, ureters, and bladder. Most UTIs affect the urethra and bladder and can be treated with antibiotics.

Sexually transmitted diseases

Sexually transmitted diseases such as human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea and chlamydia, are a common gynecological concern for women. They’re spread by sexual activity and generally can be treated with antibiotics.

Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are growths that develop in your uterus. Fibroids are noncancerous and can vary in amount, size, and severity.

Heavy bleeding and irregular menstruation

If you have irregular and heavy bleeding that’s painful and inhibiting your daily life, visit Dr. Das, so she can rule out any underlying medical complications such as endometriosis and help you determine the best course of treatment.
