menopause

Menopause is a natural process marking the end of menstruation, typically occurring between ages 45 to 55. As a woman ages, her ovaries gradually produce less estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes. Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Some women may experience early menopause due to premature ovarian failure, cancer treatments, or the surgical removal of both ovaries.

minimally invasive surgery

Minimally Invasive Single-Site Surgery is an advanced surgical approach that involves performing a procedure through a single small incision, often in the belly button, using specialized instruments and a camera. This technique reduces the number of incisions compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery, resulting in less scarring and potentially faster recovery times for patients. It is commonly used in various surgeries, including gallbladder removal and certain gynecological procedures.

urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, often causing unexpected accidents and loss of bladder control. It can stem from weakened pelvic muscles, hormonal changes, neurological disorders, or other medical conditions. While this condition can greatly affect quality of life, treatments like pelvic floor exercises, medications, and sometimes surgery, can help manage and reduce symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to improving outcomes.
