Gynecological disorders

The main gynecological disorders dealt with by a gynaecologist are:
 * 1) Cancer and pre-cancerous diseases of the reproductive organs including ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva
 * 2) Infertility
 * 3) Menstrual disorders
 * 4) Amenorrhea (absent menstrual periods)
 * 5) Dysmenorrhoea (painful menstrual periods)
 * 6) Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual periods). This is a common indication for hysterectomy.
 * 7) Prolapse of pelvic organs
 * 8) Sterility
 * 9) Incontinence of urine.

There is some crossover in these areas. For example, a woman with incontinence may be referred to a urologist.

Less common conditions include:


 * Hermaphroditism
 * Hypogonadism
 * Pseudocyesis
