Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) is the medical specialty concerned with treatment of conditions involving the female reproductive organs including the care of both pregnant and non-pregnant patients.
SingHealth, through its 2 hospitals - Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) - provides a comprehensive range of obstetric and gynaecological services to cater to the health of all women.
KKH is a tertiary referral centre for high risk obstetrics. KKH's Maternal Fetal medicine specialises in the management of complicated pregnancies and the screening of fetal anomalies.
In Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G), Laparoscopy is also suitable for conditions involving the uterus (myomectomy, hysteroscopy and hysterectomy) and ovaries (cystectomy).
Fibroids are benign tumours of the uterus. They are the most common gynaecological tumours in women, affecting at least 20 percent of women above 35 years old. Uterine fibroids can affect quality of life. They can cause pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, frequent urination, constipation and a distended stomach.
Stress urinary incontinence is the uncontrollable leakage of urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, run or lift something heavy. It is caused by weak pelvic floor muscles aggravated by pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. It is the most common form of urinary incontinence in women with more than 10 – 15% of women suffering from it. Women with this condition will not only be affected socially, financially, physically and emotionally, their work and family life may also suffer as a result.
