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.
A Pap smear test, also known as the pap test, is a screening procedure to detect any potential risks of cervical cancer. During the procedure, cells from your cervix (the opening of your uterus) are gently scraped away to be examined for any abnormalities. Cervical cancer screening or pap smear is recommended every 3 years for women aged 21-65.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination is one of the most common prevention procedure of cervical cancer. HPV infection typically don't cause symptoms or go away on their own, but some types can cause cervical cancer or other cancers. HPV vaccination is reccommended for all women and girls starting from 11-12 years old through 26 years old. You should also get HPV vaccine before becoming sexually active and exposed to HPV.
A cervical biopsy is a procedure to test for cervical cancer or other health conditions by examining a tissue taken from the cervix. Cervical biopsy is usually done as the next step folling any suspicions of cervical cancer in screenings.
A Pap smear test, also known as the pap test, is a screening procedure to detect any potential risks of cervical cancer. During the procedure, cells from your cervix (the opening of your uterus) are gently scraped away to be examined for any abnormalities. What is an abnormal pap smear? An abnormal pap smear result is caused by abnormal cell changes due to certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). This can be a sign of cervical cancer or other female reproductive system health conditions. In this case, it is best to seek for treatment immediately. You can discuss with your doctor for the most accurate treatment for your condition.
Ovarian cancer is the cancer on the ovaries in the female reproductive system. Ovarian cancer is often not noticed until it has spread to other organs in the pelvis and abdomen. Early stages of ovarian cancer is more likely to be treated successfully, so it is important to be vigilant of any signs or symptoms of ovarian cancer, which include: -abdominal bloating or swelling -abnormal weight loss -discomfort in the pelvis area -abnormal constipation -frequent urination It is best to have regular screening and tests to check for any presence of cancer cells so that early diagnosis and treatment can be done.
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.
Hysterectomy is the surgical procedure to remove the uterus. Some factors that lead to hysterectomy are uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, or cancer. There are 3 types of hysterectomy: -Total hysterectomy: removal of the entire uterus including the cervix -Partial hysterectomy: removal of upper part of the uterus -Radical hysterectomy: removal of uterus and structures around the uterus Based on the condition requiring hysterectomy, the procedures may differ. You should discuss with your doctor in detail regarding any surgical decisions made.

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. Laser treatments can reduce the size of blood vessels on the scar, causing the colour of the scar to fade and also flatten, returning your abdomen skin to its original aesthetic appearance.
