Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis is a uterine condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows into the uterine muscle. It may contribute to painful periods, heavy bleeding, and ongoing pelvic discomfort.

Gynaecological Conditions: From Benign to Precancerous
Not every gynaecological condition is cancer — but many share symptoms with cancer, and some carry a measurable risk of malignant change if left unmanaged. Endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS, and adenomyosis affect millions of women and can cause significant long-term harm to fertility, quality of life, and hormonal health. HPV infection and precancerous cervical lesions (CIN) require timely intervention specifically to prevent progression to cervical cancer.
The conditions listed on this page fall within the specialist scope of a gynaecological oncologist — not because they are all cancerous, but because accurate diagnosis, evidence-based management, and cancer-risk surveillance demand oncology-level expertise. A condition assessed too late, or managed without cancer-risk monitoring, can progress silently. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel evaluates every condition with the same clinical rigour she brings to cancer care, ensuring nothing is missed or underestimated.
If you have been told a condition is "nothing to worry about" but symptoms persist, a specialist second opinion from a gynaecological oncologist can provide the clarity and reassurance you need.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus and can cause pelvic pain, painful periods, and other symptoms. This page explains how it is evaluated, when symptoms need review, and how treatment planning is approached.
Fibroids
Fibroids are common non-cancerous growths of the uterus. They can cause abnormal bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, or no symptoms at all, and the need for treatment depends on symptoms, size, and overall clinical context.
HPV Infection
HPV infection is a common viral infection that often causes no symptoms. Some types are low risk, while others are linked to cervical precancer and cancer, which is why screening and prevention are important.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are common and are often benign. This page explains how cysts are evaluated, when monitoring is enough, and when pelvic pain or imaging findings need closer review.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a hormonal condition that can affect menstrual cycles, ovulation, metabolism, and reproductive health. Symptoms and severity can vary from person to person.
Precancerous Cervical Lesions
Precancerous cervical lesions are abnormal cervical cell changes that are not cancer but may increase the risk of cervical cancer if not identified and followed appropriately.
