Gynecological Surgery
Gynecologic surgery covers procedures involving a woman's reproductive system, including the vaginal, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Surgeons may also address issues in the urinary tract, like the bladder. Reasons for these surgeries include endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, malignancies, pelvic pain, inflammatory disease, uterine prolapse, or irregular bleeding. Gynecologic surgery can serve as a long-term contraceptive and can impact sexual function by altering female genital tract anatomy.
