A gynecology clinic is a medical facility that specializes in women's reproductive health. It is where women go to receive a range of services, including obstetrics and gynecology (obs and gyn), which involves the care of pregnant women and the female reproductive system. The clinic is staffed by doctors, including gynecologist specialists, who are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. Some women may prefer to see a male gynecologist, and many clinics offer the option of choosing a doctor based on gender preferences. Regardless of the gender of the doctor, patients can expect to receive professional and compassionate care at a gynecology clinic.
Women's care and women's health issues are broad categories that encompass a range of topics, from reproductive health to chronic conditions such as heart disease or autoimmune disorders. Women's care also includes routine gynecological exams, breast exams, and screening for sexually transmitted infections. Women need to prioritize their health and seek out appropriate care throughout their lives, including preconception care when planning for pregnancy. Regular healthcare visits, open communication with healthcare providers, and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle are essential components of women's health and well-being.
A small uterine fibroid is typically less than 5 cm in diameter and may not cause any symptoms. A subserosal uterine fibroid grows on the outer surface of the uterus and may cause pressure or discomfort in the pelvic region. A cervical fibroid grows on the cervix and may cause heavy menstrual bleeding or difficulty with urination. Fibroids in the stomach can refer to subserosal or intramural fibroids that are located in the lower abdomen, causing bloating, pressure, or pain. The type and size of a fibroid can affect the symptoms experienced and the treatment options available. Treatment options for fibroids may include medication to control symptoms, minimally invasive procedures to remove the fibroids, or surgery to remove the uterus entirely. Women who experience symptoms of different types of fibroids, including small uterine fibroids, subserosal uterine fibroids, cervical fibroids, or fibroids in the stomach, should speak with their healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment.
Fibroid surgery can include myomectomy surgery, which involves removing the fibroids while leaving the uterus intact, or hysterectomy, which involves removing the entire uterus. For women who prefer a new treatment for fibroids without surgery, there are emerging options such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which uses focused ultrasound waves to destroy the fibroids without incisions. Acupuncture is also a good non-invasive effective option for treatment It is important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine the best fibroids treatment plan for you. Treatment of a bulky uterus depends upon the cause. If it is due to fibroids again it will depend upon size and complaints.
In the first-month pregnancy care, it is especially important to begin prenatal care as soon as possible to establish a baseline for health and detect any potential risks early on. Postpartum care, which refers to the care a woman receives after giving birth, is also essential for the health and recovery of both the mother and baby. This care may include C- section postpartum care, if applicable, as well as monitoring for any potential complications, support for breastfeeding, and guidance on newborn care. Overall, proper antenatal and postpartum care is critical for a healthy pregnancy and birth experience.
Acupuncture is beneficial in treating labor pain, back pain in pregnancy, and dysmenorrhea. Acupuncture is effective for hyperemesis, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and menopausal hot flashes, and it is also effective in correcting breech presentation. It is also beneficial in menopause-related sleep disturbances, depression in pregnancy, and overactive bladder. Acupuncture is an increasingly popular therapy with many potential applications in obstetrics and gynecology. A general understanding of the basic principles of acupuncture and the safety and efficacy of its practice is necessary for the general obstetrician and gynecologist to make informed recommendations to patients.
फाइब्रॉएड गैर-कैंसर वाली वृद्धि हैं जो गर्भाशय की मांसपेशियों की दीवार में विकसित होती हैं। वे बहुत आम हैं और अक्सर कोई लक्षण नहीं पैदा करते हैं। हालांकि, कुछ मामलों में, फाइब्रॉएड भारी मासिक धर्म रक्तस्राव, श्रोणि दर्द और बांझपन जैसी महत्वपूर्ण समस्याएं पैदा कर सकता है।
लक्षणों की गंभीरता और रोगी के समग्र स्वास्थ्य के आधार पर फाइब्रॉएड के लिए कई उपचार विकल्प हैं। इसमे शामिल है:
सतर्क प्रतीक्षा: यदि फाइब्रॉएड छोटे हैं और कोई लक्षण पैदा नहीं कर रहे हैं, तो आपका डॉक्टर नियमित जांच-पड़ताल के साथ फाइब्रॉएड की निगरानी और प्रतीक्षा करने की सलाह दे सकता है।
दवाएं: हार्मोनल दवाएं, जैसे जन्म नियंत्रण की गोलियाँ, मासिक धर्म के रक्तस्राव को नियंत्रित करने और फाइब्रॉएड के आकार को कम करने में मदद कर सकती हैं। अन्य दवाएं, जैसे नॉनस्टेरॉइडल एंटी-इंफ्लेमेटरी ड्रग्स (एनएसएआईडी), श्रोणि दर्द से राहत दिलाने में मदद कर सकती हैं।
सर्जरी: यदि फाइब्रॉएड महत्वपूर्ण लक्षण पैदा कर रहे हैं, तो सर्जरी आवश्यक हो सकती है। मायोमेक्टॉमी (फाइब्रॉएड को हटाना) और हिस्टेरेक्टॉमी (गर्भाशय को हटाना) सहित कई सर्जिकल विकल्प हैं। कुछ मामलों में, न्यूनतम इनवेसिव प्रक्रियाएं, जैसे कि गर्भाशय धमनी एम्बोलिज़ेशन या एमआरआई-निर्देशित केंद्रित अल्ट्रासाउंड, एक विकल्प हो सकता है।
फाइब्रॉएड के लक्षणों और उपचार के विकल्पों के बारे में अपने स्त्री रोग विशेषज्ञ से बात करना महत्वपूर्ण है। वे आपकी व्यक्तिगत जरूरतों और चिकित्सा इतिहास के आधार पर कार्रवाई का सर्वोत्तम तरीका तय करने में आपकी सहायता कर सकते हैं।
Breech Presentation Types
In the case of breech delivery especially in premature ones, the buttocks being smaller than the head comes out quickly but the head does not get time to mold to pass through the pelvis of the mother. In this situation, the head gets trapped in the uterus for some time which may cause asphyxia. Arms may get wrapped around the back of the neck causing breech baby birth defects like brachial nerve injuries.
When the head is hyper-extended, breech baby birth defects, including cervical injuries are common. Cord prolapse occurs in 7-8% of patients especially in the case of a breech baby at 32 weeks. The breech delivery presentation has a lower Apgar score at 1 minute of delivery.
Breech baby positions to turn to normal position is not possible by conventional methods. If you opt to go for vaginal delivery, the risks to the baby are more. That is the reason obstetricians advise planned caesarian section for cases of a breech baby. If you go for a cesarean section there are always all risks of major operation and anesthesia plus sufferings from surgery plus a scar on the abdomen.
The only possible solution to breech presentation is acupuncture treatment. There is no way a baby can be corrected to a normal position without by physical approach. All old methods of turning babies by allopathic manures are risky. Similarly, there are no proven positions to prevent a breech baby.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion cause a series of biochemical reactions – like increased oestradiol production by the fetoplacental unit, increased adrenocortical activity, and an increase in the ratio of prostaglandin F2a to prostaglandin E2. In turn, this raises the uterine basal tone and increases contractility.
The increase in fetal movements and fetal heart rate is one of the most striking effects of Moxibustion; the increased movements are perceived by almost all women towards the second half of the stimulation period and persist even after the end of stimulation. This activity stimulates fetal movements and that results in vertex presentation possible. Stimulation performed in cases of intrauterine fetal death in which case there would be no fetal movements, fail to produce a version. This clarifies that this type of version relies on active fetal participation and any explanation based purely on a reflex action of Moxibustion acupuncture mediated by a dermatome must be ruled out.
A recent study of the Cooperative Research Group on Moxibustion reported that 1841 of 2041 women (90.2%) with a breech presentation given this treatment had a spontaneous cephalic version. The success rate in the 880 women who were given the treatment after 34 weeks was 84.6%. Eighty-six percent of the versions were achieved after one to four applications of Moxibustion or acupuncture and the remaining 14% after five to ten applications. Another recent randomized trial has shown that acupuncture and moxibustion are more effective to move a breech baby and bringing about a cephalic version than in controls.
Conclusions
"Acupuncture plus moxibustion is more effective than observation in revolving fetuses in breech presentation. Such a method appears to be a valid option for women willing to experience a natural birth.”
Conclusions
We concluded that the current literature shows a beneficial effect of using acupuncture-type interventions on BL 67, including moxibustion, to induce correction of a breech presentation compared to expectant management.

“Evidence suggests that moxibustion—when combined with either acupuncture or postural techniques—is safe and increases your chances of turning a breech baby”
Conclusions
"Our systematic review shows that about the correction of non-vertex presentation, there is a beneficial effect of moxibustion applied at the acupuncture point BL67, whether this treatment is applied alone or in association with acupuncture or postural measures, in comparison with mere observation or postural methods alone.”
There are no know reasons for breech presentation.
Yes, it carries a lot of risks while vaginal deliveries.

Acupuncture has been shown to stimulate the release of endorphins and ACTH, which can help reduce nausea and vomiting by inhibiting the activity of the chemoreceptor trigger zone and vomiting center in the brain and helping morning sickness treatment. Additionally, acupuncture may also help regulate the activity of the autonomic nervous system, which can also contribute to nausea and vomiting. Studies have found that acupuncture can be an effective complementary therapy for reducing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy, surgery, and pregnancy-related nausea.
