Most Requested Gynecological Interventions in Tunisia for Women

Uterine Polyp

Uterine polyps are a condition affecting many women worldwide. It is often a benign tumor, and a simple surgical operation effectively treats the problem. This intervention is often performed to prepare for an IVF-PMA cycle. Hospitalization time for polyp removal is half a day.

Fibroids or Myomas

Uterine fibroids, also called myomas, are benign, non-cancerous tumors found on the uterine wall. There may be one or more fibroids. Fibroids usually appear in women aged 30 to 45. Fibroids cause bleeding and heavy periods. A myomectomy allows for their removal.

Diagnostic Hysteroscopy

Diagnostic hysteroscopy involves examining the uterine cavity. It is often indicated in pre-IVF-PMA cycle diagnosis. Diagnostic hysteroscopy is performed with or without general anesthesia and is an outpatient procedure.

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy involves exploring the pelvic and abdominal cavity by inserting an optical system, a laparoscope, through the navel. The laparoscope allows examination of intra-abdominal organs: uterus, tubes, ovaries, peritoneum, gallbladder, appendix, etc. These various organs can be examined, but also operated on laparoscopically (appendectomy, removal of fallopian tubes, gallbladder, etc.).

Hysterectomy

This gynecological intervention involves the removal of the uterus, either entirely or partially. This procedure is performed as a treatment for various pathologies, including uterine fibroids (benign tumors) or menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding). It is performed under general or regional anesthesia (spinal anesthesia). Hysterectomy requires 1 night of hospitalization.

Ovarian Cyst

The ovarian cyst is a common condition that gynecologists in Tunisia treat surgically, either classically or laparoscopically. In general, it is a phenomenon that does not cause pain in women except in case of complications (torsion). An ovarian cyst rarely poses a danger to health, but it is always important to detect and treat it quickly. The doctor performs this intervention under general anesthesia.

Most Requested Gynecological Interventions in Tunisia for Young Girls

Several young girls encounter problems in their country undergoing certain gynecological interventions. Indeed, some interventions are prohibited, such as abortion, and are performed illegally and under deplorable sanitary and safety conditions. Others choose to come to Tunisia for better discretion. Here are the interventions most requested by young girls in gynecology.

Gynecology in Tunisia: Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty allows for the reconstruction of the hymen (the hymen usually ruptures after the first sexual intercourse). To do this, the gynecologist will use what remains of the hymen to reconstruct a membrane. The gynecologist performs Hymenoplasty under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. You can plan a same-day round trip for a Hymenoplasty in Tunis with complete discretion.

Gynecology in Tunisia: IVG (Abortion)

IVG in Tunisia, or Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy, is an intervention aimed at interrupting a pregnancy for non-medical reasons. Patients who do not wish to continue their pregnancy often request an IVG. However, the doctor can only perform an IVG by respecting certain conditions, namely:

• being 18 years or older
• not exceeding 12 weeks of pregnancy.
