Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Girls should ideally have their first gynaecology consultation at around 13–15 years — or earlier if there are concerns about delayed puberty, severe period pain, or menstrual irregularity. For women of reproductive age, an annual gynaecology check-up is recommended from age 21, including cervical cancer screening. Any woman experiencing irregular periods, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, vaginal discharge, or difficulty conceiving should consult a gynaecologist without delay.

High-risk pregnancies are managed by our senior O&G consultants with a structured monitoring protocol tailored to each specific condition — whether GDM, PIH, preeclampsia, multiple pregnancy, IUGR, or placenta praevia. This includes more frequent antenatal visits, targeted ultrasound scans and Doppler studies, specialised blood tests, multidisciplinary input from endocrinology or nephrology where needed, and a planned delivery approach optimised for maternal and fetal safety.

In a normal vaginal delivery, the baby is born through the birth canal. In a caesarean section (LSCS), the baby is delivered through a surgical incision in the abdomen and uterus. Our team strongly supports and facilitates normal vaginal delivery wherever it is safe for mother and baby. Caesarean section is performed when there is a medical indication — fetal distress, malpresentation, placenta praevia, failure to progress in labour, or maternal request after thorough counselling. Our goal is always the safest outcome for both mother and child.

Laparoscopic (keyhole) hysterectomy is a well-established, safe, and effective procedure when performed by trained minimally invasive surgeons. Compared to open abdominal hysterectomy, it offers significantly less post-operative pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay (2–3 days vs 5–7 days), faster return to normal activities (2–3 weeks vs 6–8 weeks), and better cosmetic outcomes. Our team has extensive experience in laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomy.

Yes — PCOS is highly manageable, and the majority of women with PCOS can achieve pregnancy with appropriate treatment. The foundation of PCOS management is lifestyle modification — even modest weight loss (5–10% of body weight) significantly improves ovulation rates, hormonal balance, and fertility in overweight patients. Medical treatment with clomiphene citrate or letrozole restores ovulation in the majority of patients. For those who do not respond, laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) or IVF are effective options.

We perform liquid-based cytology (LBC) Pap smear and high-risk HPV co-testing. Women aged 21–29 should have a Pap smear every 3 years. Women aged 30–65 should have a Pap smear plus HPV co-test every 5 years (preferred) or a Pap smear every 3 years. If a result is abnormal, we perform colposcopy with directed biopsy and manage CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) accordingly. We also provide HPV vaccination (Cervarix and Gardasil) for eligible patients.

We provide a complete infertility evaluation — including hormonal blood tests, pelvic ultrasound and ovarian reserve assessment (AMH, AFC), HSG for tubal patency, and semen analysis. Treatment options include ovulation induction (clomiphene or letrozole with monitoring), IUI with ovarian stimulation, surgical management of infertility-related conditions (endometriosis, fibroids, tubal disease), and referral and co-management for IVF and ICSI. We assess and treat both partners together for a comprehensive approach.

Cosmetic gynaecology refers to procedures that address the aesthetic and functional aspects of the female genitalia. Our team includes a Diploma-certified cosmetic gynaecologist (ICCG) offering procedures such as labiaplasty (labial reduction), vaginal tightening (vaginoplasty), PRP vaginal rejuvenation, and vulvar aesthetics. All procedures are performed with a strong emphasis on informed consent, patient safety, and realistic outcome expectation. A thorough pre-procedure consultation is mandatory.
