Gynecology at UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital

UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital (SMIH) offers gynecology and prevention programs for women's health. You will be able to undergo screening programs even in the absence of symptoms.

Our doctors specialize in treating conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary, sexually transmitted infections, and urogenital prolapse.

What Our Gynecology Services Involve

Most genital infections present asymptomatically and this is the reason why women often postpone treatment and check-ups. The gynecological examination, therefore, is the first step for the prevention and treatment of gynecological diseases – from the most common infections to serious oncological diseases. The gynecological examination, the vulvar swab and the cervical PAP test allow to diagnose pathologies and disorders that are easily treatable if detected early. The PAP test, for example, is a minimally invasive screening test. It allows the removal of cells from the cervix through the insertion of a small brush into the vagina. The study of these cells allows specialists to establish if there is a risk of developing a tumor and, therefore, to intervene before the disease develops.

Gynecology Services

At UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital, you can undergo basic and specialist diagnostic tests and procedures for all clinical conditions affecting the female genital system. In particular, among the available services there are:

• Gynecological examination.
• PAP test and THIN PREP PAP test.
• Vaginal and swabs for germs, fungi, and viruses.
• Colposcopy and hysteroscopy.
• Pelvic, transvaginal and obstetric ultrasound.
• Gynecological surgeries.
• Rehabilitation of the pelvic and urogenital floor.
• MRI of the pelvis.
• Urine examination and urine culture.
• Specific blood samples (antibodies to chickenpox, rubella, HSV and other diseases).

Pathologies Treated

Some gynecological diseases can present asymptomatically and remain so for years. Others, however, can manifest swiftly and become highly disabling – this is the case, for example, of dysmenorrhea, ovarian cysts and endometriosis. Our gynecology service offers treatments for all major diseases of the female urogenital system, including:

• Amenorrhoea.
• Ovarian cyst.
• Dysmenorrhoea.
• Endometriosis.
• Fibroids Uterine.
• Incontinence partial or total urinary.
• Infections sexually transmitted (candidiasis, HPV, HSV).
• Ovary polycystic.
• Prolapse bladder.
• Vulvodynia.

We can also assist you in case of physiological or complicated pregnancies and disorders related to menopause.

Who Are Our Gynecology Services For?

The gynecology services available at UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital are aimed at all women who, with or without any symptoms, are attentive to their health. Disorders of the urogenital system, in fact, can strongly affect the quality of life, limiting, in some cases, the freedom to work or travel.

To prevent the evolution of more or less serious pathologies, every woman should undergo a gynecological examination at least once a year. At UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital, you'll find targeted care pathways for women's well-being for women of all ages.
