At HealthHub Clinics in Dubai, our DHA-licensed gynaecologists provide compassionate, comprehensive care for a range of gynaecological disorders. From common issues like ovarian cysts, chronic pelvic pain, and heavy menstrual bleeding to other women’s health concerns, we guide you every step of the way.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs on an ovary that often form as part of the normal menstrual cycle. Most cysts are harmless and disappear on their own. However, some can persist or grow and cause symptoms like pelvic pain (usually a dull or sharp ache on one side of your lower abdomen), bloating or pressure in the belly, or period irregularities. If a cyst ruptures or causes the ovary to twist, it can lead to sudden, severe pain that needs urgent medical care.
At HealthHub, we diagnose ovarian cysts through a pelvic exam and on-site ultrasound imaging. Many cysts just need monitoring with follow-up scans until they clear up. If a cyst is large, painful, or not going away, we can treat it. Treatment might involve hormonal medication (such as birth control pills) to shrink or prevent cysts, or a minor surgery to remove the cyst. Our gynecologists are skilled in laparoscopic cyst removal – a minimally invasive procedure done through tiny incisions. We always favor the least invasive effective option for your treatment.
Chronic pelvic pain is pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis that lasts more than 6 months. It can be constant or off-and-on, and often gets worse around menstruation or during activities like intercourse. There are many possible causes. It may stem from gynecological conditions such as endometriosis or past pelvic infections. In other cases, digestive issues (like irritable bowel syndrome) or bladder problems can contribute to pelvic pain. If pelvic pain is affecting your daily life, it’s important to have it checked.
At HealthHub Clinics, our doctors will carefully evaluate your pelvic pain. We’ll discuss your symptoms, do a gentle pelvic exam, and usually an on-site ultrasound to look for obvious issues. Treatment will be tailored to the cause. It may include pain relievers or hormonal therapy to treat conditions like endometriosis. If we find a specific issue (such as endometriosis or fibroids), we can often address it with minimally invasive surgery to provide relief. Throughout, our aim is to ease your pain and help you regain your quality of life.
Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) refers to heavy or long-lasting periods. If you soak through a pad or tampon every hour or your period lasts longer than a week with large clots, it can lead to anemia (fatigue, dizziness) and disrupt your daily life. It’s important to see a gynecologist if you experience such heavy periods.
Heavy periods are often caused by hormonal imbalance or benign growths in the uterus (like fibroids or polyps). To find the cause, we will review your symptoms and menstrual history and perform a pelvic exam. An on-site ultrasound helps us check for fibroids or other abnormalities in your uterus and ovaries. We may do blood tests (for anemia or hormonal issues).
Treatment usually begins with medication. Hormonal therapy (like birth control pills or a hormonal IUD) often helps regulate your cycle and lighten your periods. We can also use non-hormonal medicines to reduce bleeding. If these steps don’t help enough, a minor procedure might be recommended. For example, removing any fibroids or polyps can resolve bleeding caused by those growths. Another option is endometrial ablation, which treats the uterine lining to reduce bleeding. Major surgery (such as removing the uterus) is very rarely needed, and only considered if other treatments fail.
No. Many ovarian cysts (especially those related to ovulation) go away on their own within a month or two. In those cases, we just monitor them with ultrasound. If a cyst is large, painful, or not going away, then treatment is needed. This could be medication to help shrink the cyst or a simple laparoscopic surgery to remove it. Your gynecologist will recommend what’s best based on the cyst’s size and your symptoms.
We typically start with non-surgical options. Medications can greatly reduce heavy bleeding – for example, anti-inflammatory drugs or hormonal treatments (like the birth control pill or a hormonal IUD) often make periods lighter and more manageable. If those don’t work well enough, and if there’s a specific cause like a fibroid or polyp, we can remove it with a minor procedure. There’s also endometrial ablation, which is a brief procedure to thin out or remove the uterine lining and significantly reduce bleeding (recommended only if you’re done having children). Major surgery (such as removing the uterus) is very rarely necessary and only considered in extreme cases when other treatments haven’t helped.
The gynaecologist will discuss your concerns and medical history, then perform a pelvic exam (and any needed tests such as an ultrasound). They will explain their findings and next steps, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions. You’ll be kept comfortable and informed throughout your visit.
