Home / Gynaecology & Women’s Surgery
Gynaecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix and vagina. At Lake City Hospital, Bhopal, women can receive medical and surgical care for a wide range of gynaecological conditions. The hospital provides evaluation and treatment for concerns such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain and other reproductive health conditions. The hospital also provides care for women’s cancers, including breast cancer and cervical cancer. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve medicines, surgery, laparoscopic procedures, cancer treatment or other appropriate options. Treatment is planned according to the patient’s condition, age, symptoms, diagnosis and overall health. The medical team discusses suitable treatment options and provides appropriate follow-up care to support women’s health and recovery.
Women may require gynaecological surgery for conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix or other reproductive organs.
Non-cancerous uterine growths causing bleeding, pain, or pressure.
Fluid-filled ovarian sacs requiring monitoring or treatment when necessary.
Tissue growth outside uterus causing pain and reproductive problems.
Conditions affecting reproductive organs requiring evaluation and appropriate medical treatment.
Unusual bleeding patterns requiring detailed evaluation and suitable treatment.
Persistent pelvic discomfort requiring evaluation to identify underlying causes.
Uterine displacement causing pressure, discomfort, or other symptoms.
Cancerous breast growth requiring timely diagnosis and specialised treatment.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses small cuts and a camera to perform selected surgical procedures.
Depending on the condition, laparoscopic surgery may be considered for:
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They may cause heavy periods, pelvic pain, pressure or other symptoms.
When symptoms are severe or medicines are not effective, surgery may be considered. The choice of procedure depends on the size, number and location of fibroids and the patient’s individual needs.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or inside the ovaries. Many cysts do not require surgery and may disappear on their own.
Surgery may be considered when a cyst is large, persistent, causes symptoms or has features that require further evaluation.
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. It may be recommended for conditions such as severe fibroids, abnormal bleeding, endometriosis, uterine prolapse or certain cancers.
Depending on the patient’s condition, hysterectomy may be performed through different surgical approaches.
Breast cancer surgery is an important part of treatment for many women diagnosed with breast cancer. The type of surgery depends on the size and location of the tumour, the stage of cancer and other factors.
Depending on the case, surgery may involve removing the tumour while preserving as much of the breast as possible or removing the breast when medically required.
Breast cancer treatment may also involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy or other treatments, depending on the patient’s diagnosis.
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. Surgery may be used to treat cervical cancer, particularly in selected early-stage cases.
The type of surgery depends on the stage and extent of the cancer. Treatment may involve removal of the cancerous tissue, cervix or uterus and, in some cases, nearby lymph nodes.
Depending on the stage, radiation therapy and chemotherapy may also form part of the treatment plan.
Regular screening and timely evaluation of abnormal cervical changes can help in the early detection of cervical cancer.
Some cancers affecting the female reproductive system may require surgery as part of treatment.
These may include:
Treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer. Surgery may be used alone or combined with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or other treatments.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It may cause pelvic pain, painful periods and, in some women, fertility problems.
When surgery is required, the aim is to treat the abnormal tissue while preserving healthy reproductive organs whenever possible.
Cancer treatment may require different types of specialists. At Lake City Hospital, patients can receive care from specialists in surgical, medical and radiation oncology.
Dr. Yogeshwar Prasad Shukla
Onco Surgeon
Dr. Yogeshwar Prasad Shukla provides surgical management for cancer patients. An onco surgeon evaluates whether a tumour can be treated surgically and plans the appropriate procedure based on the patient’s condition.
Dr. Prateek Tiwari
Medical Oncologist
Dr. Prateek Tiwari provides medical oncology care, including the use of medicines in cancer treatment. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, medical treatment may be used before surgery, after surgery or as part of the primary treatment plan.
Dr. Rakesh Mahawar
Radiation Oncologist
Dr. Rakesh Mahawar specialises in radiation oncology. Radiation therapy uses controlled doses of radiation to target cancer cells and may be recommended before or after surgery or as part of other cancer treatment plans.
Every woman has different symptoms and treatment needs. The medical team evaluates the condition and explains the available treatment options.
Symptoms, medical history and overall health are assessed.
Ultrasound, blood tests, biopsy or other investigations may be advised.
Medical and surgical options are discussed.
Cancer patients may require chemotherapy, radiation therapy or other treatment.
Treatment may include fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, abnormal bleeding, uterine prolapse, breast cancer, cervical cancer and other gynaecological conditions.
Breast cancer surgery involves removing cancerous tissue from the breast. Depending on the cancer, surgery may remove only the tumour or may involve removal of the breast.
Cervical cancer surgery is used to remove cancerous tissue from the cervix and, in selected cases, nearby reproductive tissues or lymph nodes.
Not necessarily. Treatment depends on the type and stage of breast cancer. Some women may require surgery along with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy or other treatments.
Yes. Surgery can be an important treatment for selected cervical cancers, particularly when the disease is detected at an earlier stage. Treatment depends on the stage and extent of cancer.
A new breast lump, changes in breast size or shape, changes in the skin or nipple, nipple discharge or persistent breast changes should be evaluated by a doctor.
Some procedures may affect fertility, while others can preserve the reproductive organs. The effect depends on the condition and type of surgery. Women planning pregnancy should discuss fertility with their doctor before treatment.
No. Many ovarian cysts can be monitored or treated without surgery. Surgery may be considered depending on the cyst's size, appearance, symptoms and other clinical findings.
Treatment is planned after considering the type, location and stage of cancer, along with biopsy, imaging and the patient's overall health.
It is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions and a camera to perform selected gynaecological procedures.
You should consult a gynaecologist if you experience persistent pelvic pain, very heavy periods, irregular bleeding, painful periods, unusual vaginal discharge, bleeding after menopause, a breast lump, changes in breast shape or skin, or any other unusual symptoms.
Women diagnosed with breast, cervical or other gynaecological cancers should receive timely evaluation to understand the available treatment options.
