The cervix is the lower part of the uterus which extends slightly into the top of vagina. It is also called as the neck of the womb (uterus). It is covered by a thin layer of tissue made of cells. Healthy cells grow, divide and replaced as needed. Cancer of the cervix happens when these cells change, grow out of control rapidly into deeper layers or spread to other organs. The cancer cells form a mass of tissue called a cancerous (malignant) tumour. A regular Pap smear test can detect abnormal cells before they become a cancer. Abnormal cells and tissues can be treated by simple procedures such as colposcopy* and large loop excision of the cervix (LLETZ)*. These procedures can completely remove abnormal tissue before becoming cancer. If the cancer is only confined to the cervix, surgical operations like the Wertheim’s hysterectomy* can remove the cancerous tumour completely. Cervical cancer at the early stage is curable if treated appropriately by trained Gynae-Oncologists. However, patients still need to have follow up for surveillance. If cervical cancer is at the late stages, surgical procedures to remove the uterus and cervix like hysterectomy may be required.

Uterine cancer is also known as endometrial cancer or uterus cancer. It affects the uterus and can spread to other parts of the female reproductive organ. Uterine cancer is usually able to be detected early due to its obvious symptoms, and early treatment with surgery can usually cure the cancer. The symptoms of uterine cancer include: -vaginal bleeding outside of menstrual periods -abnormal vaginal discharge with or without blood -pelvic pain Treatment for cancer involves the removal of the uterus, either a part or the whole, to get rid of the cancer affected area.

Aesthetic and Anti-Aging
Aging is inevitable. Many people that treat aging symptoms (e.g.: wrinkles) opt for anti aging skin care products such as eye cream, face cream, etc. Most of these products are expensive, which is why we rather choose natural ways to slow down conditions associated with aging.
Generally, medical doctors will suggest these to patients: Lifestyle modification Nutritional planning Body and mind regeneration
Everyone experiences aging in a different way and at a different point of time in their lives. Due to different body and mind composition, consultation is important in order to determine the best treatment for anti-aging.
Anti-aging treatments these days don't only apply to our face and skin, but also for women-specific conditions.
Treatments like vaginal rejuvenation and vaginal tightening can help you regain your youthfulness as a woman and be more confident with your body.

The treatment targets the muscle tissues in the vagina that have loosen, and usually through laser treatments, these muscles can be tighten and be added in elasticity. Vaginal rejuvenation is a quick procedure that can be done on an outpatient basis.
Laser vaginal tightening is a minimally invasive treatment to thighten the vaginal walls, usually done to enhance sexual pleasure, restore tissue tone, and increase lubrication. Vaginal tightening also strengthens the supporting ligaments surrounding the bladder and urethrea to reduce the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence. During the procedure, the doctor uses a laser device to emit laser beams the penetrates into the vaginal wall to reach the level where collagen is formed. This enhances collagen production to tighten the vagina. Laser vaginal tightening is usually done on an outpatient basis.

Stretch marks appear due to a breakage in the middle layer of our skin, usually due to sudden weight gains, growths, hormones, or reaction to certain medications. Stretch marks are very common after pregnancy, too. C-sec Scars can be flat, hypertrophic or keloid. Hypertrophic scars grow within the scars, whereas keloid scars grow out from the original scar. The most effective treatment for stretchmarks is laser treatments. The laser creates micro injuries on the skin, allowing the delivery of PRP (platelet rich plasma) into the middle layer of the skin. PRP is made from the patient’s own platelets and fibrin, and play a role in enhancing the “growth factors” that activate and rejuvenate cells in our body. Both these steps stimulate the regeneration of collagen and improve the healing of stretch marks.

If your childbirth was done via a Caesarean section (C-sec), you may have a C-sec scar left on your abdomen. This scar can be very visible or they can sometimes fade out, but they rarely disappear. But it is possible to remove the scar via laser treatments.

These screenings include blood tests and ultrasounds, to detect any risk of birth defects related to the baby's heart or genetic disorders like Down Syndrome.
An obstetric risk factors examination should be done before or early into your pregnancy so that any pregnancy risks can be examined and ways to reduce the risks can be discussed. Some common symptoms that are examined during this phase are vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain and vomiting. If you feel any discomfort, do let your doctor know so that the right diagnosis can be carried out.
