Patients often struggle with menstrual disorders before they find the diagnostic experience and excellence. The best gynaecologist hospital in Pune carries out a proper diagnosis to determine the actual cause of the menstrual disorder.

Treatment for Menstrual Disorders
Treatment for menstrual disorders may include:

Surgical treatment. Menstrual disorders can be caused by endometrial polyps, fibroids, and adenomyosis. Your physician may recommend surgery to treat these conditions. This may require a vaginal procedure called hysteroscopy or a laparoscopic procedure, including removal of fibroids or hysterectomy. Minimally-invasive robotic surgery is available at Polaris Healthcare to treat these conditions.

Interventional Radiology procedures. Our gynecologists work closely with physicians in the department of interventional radiology, which also perform procedures to treat these conditions. These include uterine artery embolization and focused ultrasound and may provide an alternative to surgical treatments.
