Gynecology and women’s health
Stress urinary incontinence is a common issue, affecting one-third of women. It can significantly impact daily life, making movement and overall well-being more difficult. Stress urinary incontinence can occur at different stages of life, such as after childbirth, pelvic floor surgeries, or as a result of aging.
At Sf-cliniken, assistance for urinary incontinence is available through corrective surgery (TOT procedure) and Bulkamid mini-invasive treatment.
At Sf-cliniken, you will be treated by Eeva Linna, a gynecologist and obstetrician. The clinic specializes in the treatment of gynecological diseases in women of all ages, as well as issues related to fertility and sexuality. During a gynecological visit, a gynecological ultrasound examination can be performed, and gynecological tests such as a Pap smear (PAPA test) can be taken.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gynecologist Consultations
When and how often should I visit a gynecologist?
A woman should visit a gynecologist for the first time when she plans to start contraception or if she has menstrual-related problems.
You should seek a gynecologist if you experience symptoms that may have a gynecological cause. These symptoms include dryness, irritation or itching of the mucous membranes, abnormal bleeding, and pain. A gynecologist can also help when menopause symptoms begin.
Regular gynecologist visits throughout life stages are important. Even for an otherwise healthy woman, a gynecologist visit can help assess overall health and well-being, as well as provide an opportunity to discuss relationship and sexual health concerns.
What topics are discussed during the consultation?
During the consultation, the reason for the visit is discussed, and the patient can express any concerns or wishes. A pelvic examination is often part of a gynecologist visit. The gynecologist will review the following: long-term illnesses, medications, allergies, need for contraception, relationship status, previous surgeries, menstrual cycle length, pregnancies and deliveries, and the most recent Pap test results.
The primary treatment consists of pelvic floor exercises and treatment of the mucous membranes. If the prolapse causes significant symptoms that do not improve with exercise, surgical treatment may be considered. The surgery is usually performed through the vagina with spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia. If the front and back vaginal walls, and thus the bladder and rectum, have descended, they are repositioned using absorbable stitches.
Before the procedure, you will need to visit a gynecologist for an evaluation.
What does gynecological prolapse mean?
Gynecological prolapse refers to a condition in which a woman's pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, rectum, or small intestine, descend or protrude through the vagina as a result of weakened pelvic floor support. This can be caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles or connective tissue that supports these organs.
How does gynecological prolapse present?
Symptoms of prolapse may include:
- A feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen
- A bulge at the vaginal opening
- Difficulty holding urine or stool
- Discomfort or pain, especially during physical exertion
What causes gynecological prolapse?
Gynecological prolapse can be caused by factors such as childbirth, menopause, aging, or other conditions that weaken the structures supporting the pelvic floor.
How can gynecological prolapse be treated?
Treatment options may include pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle changes, or, if necessary, surgical treatment.
