Gynaecology is the branch of medicine that manages the health of the female reproductive system, with common conditions being ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, menstrual disorders and gynaecological cancers. From puberty to the childbearing years to menopause, women require specialized and unique gynaecological care at every stage in their lives.
At our clinic, we provide a comprehensive range of preventive and diagnostic services such as radiology imaging, blood tests, cancer screening, HPV vaccination and contraception. A variety of women’s health screening packages are also available for your every need.
Treatment of gynaecological conditions include medication and minimally invasive surgery, which Singapore Gynaecologist Dr Christopher Ng is accredited to perform. We strive to provide only safe and effective personalized treatments for all our patients within a comfortable setting.
Tailored and timely health screenings can go a long way in the early detection of gynaecological issues with more effective and possibly less invasive treatments. We offer various screening packages to suit every woman’s needs.
Uterine fibroids are benign growths in the uterus; and they are fairly common amongst women of childbearing age. Although most women may not have any symptoms, fibroids can cause menstrual problems in addition to infertility and pregnancy complications if not properly treated.
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the inner wall of the uterus, grows outside of the uterus. Affecting about 1 in 10 women, it can be treated with medications, hormonal therapy or surgery.
Egg freezing is a way for women to preserve their fertility. This is an increasingly popular option for women who want to delay childbirth for personal reasons (such as to focus on their careers first), and women who want to preserve their fertility for medical reasons.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that arise from the ovaries. Although most ovarian cysts are benign and can resolve on their own, some may become cancerous over time and require specialised treatment.
Although menopause is a natural and normal process, some women may have a hard time coping with more severe menopausal symptoms. A personalised treatment plan can go a long way in alleviating symptoms and restoring a good quality of life.
Cervical cancer is commonly caused by the HPV virus, which is typically transmitted through sexual contact. Fortunately, there are safe and effective vaccines available that provide life time immunity against the most common strains of HPV that not only cause cervical cancer but also vaginal, vulva, anal and throat cancers.
A urogynaecologist is proficient in treating conditions relating to the female pelvic floor, such as urinary incontinence or uterine prolapse. Other conditions commonly treated are vaginal laxity which affects sexual function and hypertrophic labia minora.
There are many forms of contraception available, each with its own set of pros and cons. Discussing this with a doctor will help you choose a contraception method that is best suited to your needs and lifestyle.
Various gynaecological conditions, such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids, can now be effectively treated with minimally invasive surgery (e.g. laparoscopy and hysteroscopy). With these surgeries, the level of post-operative scarring, surgical risks and recovery time can be reduced.
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove the uterus, also known as the womb. This may be done to treat various gynaecological conditions, including certain cases of gynaecological cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis and more.
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids, with its main advantage being the ability to remove the fibroids while leaving the uterus intact. This makes it a preferred version for women who wish to preserve their future fertility.
