We also provide care for Gynaecological Oncology, pelvic floor disease, Endocrinology and problems related to reproduction.
Adulthood Specialties
We ensure the gynecological health of adult women during the different stages of their lives.
Congenital uterine abnormalities and other benign disease (fibroids, endometrial polyps, functional bleeding, etc.) may be diagnosed and treated in those who wish to reproduce.
This affects the uterine adnexa, which consists of the Fallopian tubes and the ovaries. It tends to be diagnosed by ultrasound and, when necessary, treated by laparoscopy.
This disease is not cancer (it includes cysts, lipomas and fibroadenomas). It does not increase the risk of breast cancer, but should be followed and treated by a specialist.
We are experts in conservative and surgical therapies to improve and/or resolve the two main pelvic floor weakness diseases: urinary incontinence and prolapse.
We treat alterations in the hormonal systems that takes part in the regulation of the sexual and reproductive functions of women.
Gynaecological Oncology encompasses the prevention and treatment of cancer, mainly that which affects the uterus, ovaries, vulva and cervix.
This fertility preservation technique is offered to cancer patients who are to receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy and still wish to reproduce.
Adolescence Specialties
Multidisciplinary Unit led by Gynaecology. It involves the joint work of specialists from different services: Endocrinology, Mental Health and other pediatric specialties that can intervene in each specific case.
We offer treatment and counselling for the most common disorders: premenstrual syndrome and pain that occurs during menstruation (dysmenorrhea).
We perform good follow-up and treatment to minimise risks (changes in the menstrual cycle, cysts on the ovaries and often - but not always - difficulty getting pregnant).
In the course of their lives, 75% of women experience an episode of vulvovaginitis. Candidal vulvovaginitis (vaginal yeast infection) is the most prevalent.
Early puberty is due to early exposure to women's hormone levels. We offer specialised professional treatment and counselling.
Late puberty is defined as a lack of pubertal onset at 13 years of age in girls. We offer specialised professional treatment and counselling.
Most breast disorders occur as benign nodules, but it is important to identify their nature to be able to treat malignant disease early.
This is excessive hair growth in women according to a masculine distribution pattern. It is a disorder that affects approximately 10% of women of childbearing age.
