Gynaecology Testing

At Khurana Hospital and IVF Centre, we offer a wide range of gynaecological tests to diagnose and monitor various conditions related to the female reproductive system. Our tests are designed to provide a detailed understanding of your gynecological health, empowering you to make informed decisions about your well-being.

Why Gynaecology Testing is Important

Regular gynaecological testing plays a crucial role in maintaining a woman’s health at all stages of life. From adolescence to menopause and beyond, gynaecological tests help in:

• Early detection of conditions such as cervical cancer, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and other reproductive system disorders.
• Monitoring the health of the uterus, ovaries, and cervix.
• Assessing fertility and identifying issues that may hinder conception.
• Ensuring overall reproductive health and preventing potential complications during pregnancy.

Our expert gynecologists recommend and perform tests based on your health history, symptoms, and specific concerns, ensuring you receive tailored care.

Types of Gynaecology Tests We Offer

Pap Smear Test (Cervical Smear)

A Pap smear test is a routine screening tool used to detect abnormal cells in the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer. It is a simple and effective test recommended for women aged 21 and older, or those who are sexually active. The test can help in the early detection of precancerous changes, allowing for timely intervention.

Ultrasound (Pelvic and Transvaginal)

Pelvic ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test used to examine the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs. A transvaginal ultrasound uses a small probe inserted into the vagina to provide more detailed images, particularly for detecting conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, or endometriosis. These tests are crucial for assessing the health of reproductive organs.

Blood Tests for Hormonal Imbalances

Blood tests are used to evaluate hormone levels in the body, which play a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall reproductive health. Tests may include measuring levels of estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid hormones, among others. Abnormal hormone levels can indicate conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or menopause.

Sonohysterogram (SHG)

A sonohysterogram is an advanced ultrasound technique used to examine the uterus. During the procedure, a sterile saline solution is injected into the uterus to provide a clearer view of the uterine lining. This test is commonly used to detect uterine abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, or structural issues.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG)

This specialized X-ray test involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes to check for blockages or abnormalities. It is particularly useful for women facing infertility, as it helps assess whether the fallopian tubes are open and the uterus is structurally normal.

Endometrial Biopsy

An endometrial biopsy involves removing a small sample of the uterine lining to examine for abnormal cells, infections, or other conditions that may affect fertility or cause abnormal bleeding. It is often recommended if there is a suspicion of endometrial cancer, hyperplasia, or other uterine conditions.

Mammogram

Although primarily used to screen for breast cancer, a mammogram is an essential part of comprehensive gynaecological testing, especially for women over 40 or those with a family history of breast cancer. Early detection of lumps or abnormalities can greatly improve treatment outcomes.

Fertility Testing

Fertility tests are crucial for women trying to conceive. These tests include:

• Ovarian reserve testing (to check the number and quality of eggs in the ovaries).
• Fallopian tube patency test (to check if the fallopian tubes are open and functional).
• Semen analysis (to assess male fertility).
• Hormonal testing (to check the levels of key fertility hormones).

Our fertility specialists offer comprehensive fertility workups to help diagnose any barriers to conception.

Urine and Vaginal Infections Testing

We perform tests to diagnose common infections such as yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Timely treatment of infections is crucial to avoid complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or infertility.

Colposcopy

Colposcopy is a detailed examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva using a special magnifying instrument called a colposcope. It is often recommended after an abnormal Pap smear result to evaluate areas of the cervix that may be at risk for cancer or precancerous changes.
