Vulva Clinic
Our gynecologists are interested in the management of various pathologies of the vulva. Most treatments are done directly in our clinic. Do not hesitate to make an appointment if you have the following problems:
- Vestibulodynia / Vulvodynia
- Vaginismus
- Condyloma
- Bartholin’s gland cyst or abscess (Bartholinitis)
Contraception
Your method of contraception should be chosen based on a number of factors. Although IUD contraception has many advantages, it is important to ensure that it is suitable for you. If your choice of contraceptive method ends up being an intrauterine device, our gynecologists will be able to insert it directly in our clinic. In addition, your specialist can advise you on the right type of IUD for you.
Women's Health - Annual PAP Smear
The gynecological examination should be done annually. It includes breast and genital exams.
The PAP test or cytology/smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It does not have to be done every year, except in exceptional cases. This test is the best method to date for detecting abnormal cells at an early stage. When cell changes are detected early, they can be treated effectively before the condition deteriorates. This is why it is important to see your gynecologist on an annual basis.
In some cases, an HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) test can also be performed. Vaccination against HPV is an additional effective way to prevent cervical cancer. This vaccine is available in our clinics. Our specialists will be able to answer all your questions about the vaccine.
Menopause Clinic
Menopause affects a significant number of women. These women often find themselves at a loss when faced with the dilemma of taking hormone replacement therapy. At this point, a consultation with one of our gynecologists becomes more than relevant.
The different symptoms of menopause can be divided into three categories, depending on the hormone deficiency involved:
- Estrogen deficiency
Causes hot flashes, myalgia and vulvovaginal dryness.
- Progesterone deficiency
Causes insomnia, irritability and sweating.
- Testosterone deficiency
Causes memory and concentration problems, loss of energy and decreased libido.
Bioidentical hormone therapy
Bioidentical hormones can provide women with quality of life during menopause and the perimenopausal period. If your gynecologist feels that you could benefit, bioidentical hormone therapy treatments may be used. Each woman responds differently to this treatment, so a detailed assessment and individualized management is essential. If necessary, this treatment can be supported by measuring hormone levels.
