Colonoscopy
You should know that there is no specific test for IBS. That is why you need to visit a doctor who is qualified and licensed to diagnose and manage IBS. What the doctor does is run a series of tests to rule out other illnesses. If you are experiencing severe pain in your abdomen, your doctor lists down the common diseases that portray symptoms like severe abdominal pain and rules them out one by one. They can conduct tests like stool and blood tests, endoscopy and colonoscopy, MRIs, X-rays, ultrasounds, etc.

Categories:, Blog If you are dealing with endometriosis, you may be wondering how to find the right doctor to help you. A women's health clinic can provide many benefits for those who suffer from this condition. Here are four ways a women's health clinic can help with endometriosis. 1.

Labor and Delivery
Becoming a parent is one of life's most amazing experiences, but bringing your baby into this world also brings a whole new set of challenges—including recovering from the physical stress of childbirth. Although many bounce back after just a few weeks, others will experience pain and discomfort for a long time to come. Thankfully, physiotherapists can do a lot to help you feel better after childbirth and get back to living a healthy, active lifestyle with your little one. Here are four reasons you should book an appointment.

Endoscopy

Depression
Mental Health
When you have IBS, one or all of the above functions of your gastrointestinal system are affected, leading to severe pain, severe diarrhoea, constipation and discomfort, especially in your abdomen or lower belly. Some of these symptoms are so severe that you cannot operate normally. You can only stay indoors, meaning you will become socially absent, which is not good for your mental health.

Ultrasound
A women's healthcare clinic that specialises in gynaecology is more likely to have the equipment needed to detect endometriosis than a general practice office. The ultrasound machine used at these offices has a larger screen than those found in a regular doctor's office and will be able to show more detail about the growths that cause the pain associated with endometriosis.
X-Rays

Plastic Surgeons

Laparoscopic Surgery
When it comes time for treatment options for endometriosis, there are many different methods available for patients suffering from this condition. Some of these include laparoscopic surgery, hormone therapy, and medication such as birth control pills or other contraceptives that help regulate hormones and prevent further growths from forming inside the body. A gynaecologist specialising in treating endometriosis will be able to offer several different treatment options depending on your individual needs and preferences, which makes it easier for patients to find a treatment that works best for them.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
If you have endometriosis, it is likely that you also suffer from pain. A women's health clinic can help manage this pain with medications and other treatments such as biofeedback, acupuncture, or physical therapy. In addition to these services, some clinics may even offer a specialist who specialises in treating chronic pain with alternative methods such as Reiki therapy.
