In this blog, we’ll dive deep into the causes of bloating in women, highlighting when it might signal something more serious. Then, we’ll explore why Mr Sayasneh is your best bet for addressing these concerns, ensuring you’re not just brushing off a symptom that’s more than skin deep. Ready to get to the bottom of your bloating? Let’s get started.

Bloating in women is not merely a symptom to brush off or endure; it can sometimes signal underlying issues that necessitate expert evaluation. Given the complexity and variety of causes behind bloating, it becomes imperative to seek the insights of specialists who not only understand these complexities but also possess the skills to accurately diagnose and treat them. Mr Sayasneh, with his profound experience in gynaecology and a particular emphasis on diagnostic ultrasound scans, stands out as a pioneer in identifying the root causes of bloating and other gynaecological conditions.

The Critical Role of Ultrasound Scans in Diagnosing Bloating Causes

Ultrasound scans are a cornerstone of modern diagnostics, offering a non-invasive, real-time glimpse into the body’s inner workings. Mr Sayasneh leverages this technology to its fullest, using it to diagnose conditions that could be at the heart of bloating, such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, and other pelvic conditions. His skill in conducting and interpreting these scans ensures that patients receive accurate diagnoses, paving the way for targeted treatment plans.

Why Mr Sayasneh’s Expertise Matters

Precision Diagnosis: Through ultrasound, Mr Sayasneh can pinpoint specific gynaecological conditions that might contribute to bloating, facilitating a more effective treatment approach.

What are Ovarian Cysts?

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or within the ovaries. While most ovarian cysts are benign and pose no threat to pregnancy, their presence can still raise concerns and require close monitoring. These cysts can vary in size, and their development is often linked to the hormonal changes that accompany the menstrual cycle.

Ovarian Cysts in Pregnancy:

The occurrence of ovarian cysts during pregnancy is not uncommon. In fact, many women may already have cysts present before becoming pregnant. However, the hormonal fluctuations and changes in the pelvic anatomy during pregnancy can influence the behaviour of these cysts.

One particular concern is the potential for cysts to rupture or twist (ovarian torsion), leading to complications that may impact both the mother and the developing foetus. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the management options available for pregnant individuals with ovarian cysts.

Management of Ovarian Cysts in Pregnancy:

1. Close Monitoring:

•   Regular ultrasounds are essential for monitoring the size and characteristics of ovarian cysts during pregnancy.
•   Serial ultrasounds can help track changes and identify any potential issues that may arise.

In this systematic review the authors led by Asst Prof Sayasneh found that Ultrasound appears to have an adequate accuracy in differentiating benign from malignant masses in pregnancy. However, more research is required to assess the role of ultrasound models, rules, and subjective assessment in pregnancy compared to non-pregnant women.

2. Medical Management:

• In some cases, hormonal medications may be prescribed to regulate and control the size of the cyst.
• This approach aims to prevent cyst enlargement and minimise the risk of complications.

3. Surgical Intervention:

• Surgical intervention may be necessary if the cyst becomes large, causes persistent pain, or poses a threat to the health of the mother and the foetus.
• Minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as laparoscopy, are often preferred to reduce the impact on the pregnancy.

A previous study I led show that invasive cancer in pregnancy is rare. The results show a significant relation between the size of adnexal mass and the probability of surgery.

4. Risk Assessment:

• A thorough risk assessment, considering factors such as the type and size of the cyst, the stage of pregnancy, and the overall health of the patient, guides decision-making regarding the optimal management strategy.

Conclusion

In conclusion, managing ovarian cysts during pregnancy requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving close collaboration between obstetricians and gynaecological specialists. As a Gynaecologist in London, my commitment to providing comprehensive care extends to addressing the unique challenges that ovarian cysts present during pregnancy.

By staying vigilant through regular monitoring, utilising medical management when appropriate, and considering surgical intervention when necessary, we can ensure the well-being of both the mother and the developing foetus. As I continue to contribute to the field, I remain dedicated to advancing our understanding of gynaecological conditions and providing the highest standard of care to my patients.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is a cutting-edge advancement that combines precision with minimally invasive techniques. Using a console, I control a robotic system that translates my hand movements into precise actions within the body. This approach offers several advantages, including smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times. Patients often appreciate the enhanced precision and the potential for shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions through which a thin, lighted tube with a camera (laparoscope) and specialised surgical instruments are inserted. This technique reduces scarring, minimises pain, and accelerates recovery. Many patients prefer laparoscopic surgery for its cosmetic benefits and quicker return to daily activities.

Open Surgery

While robotic and laparoscopic surgeries are minimally invasive, open surgery involves a larger incision to access the reproductive organs directly. Although it may require a longer recovery period, open surgery is sometimes necessary for complex cases or when specific conditions demand a more extensive approach. I am well-versed in open surgery techniques, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their unique circumstances.

Choosing the Right Option

Each surgical approach has its merits, and the choice depends on factors such as the nature of the condition, medical history, and patient preference. During our consultations, I take the time to discuss these options with my patients, providing detailed information to empower them in making informed decisions about their gynaecological care.

Conclusion

As a gynaecologist proficient in robotic, open, and laparoscopic surgeries, my goal is to offer personalised and comprehensive care. By understanding the nuances of each surgical method, my patients can actively participate in choosing the approach that aligns best with their preferences and health needs. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your well-being is my priority, and together, we can navigate the path to optimal gynaecological health.
