What is the difference between a gynaecologist and an obstetrician?
A gynaecologist focuses on women’s reproductive health, including periods, hormonal issues, fertility, and menopause. An obstetrician specialises in pregnancy care, childbirth, and postnatal care. Dr Sheela is trained in both, so she provides complete care across all stages.
When should I visit a gynaecologist?
You should consult a gynaecologist if you have irregular periods, severe menstrual pain, unusual discharge, pelvic pain, fertility concerns, or for routine check-ups and preventive care.
What is considered a high-risk pregnancy?
A pregnancy is termed high-risk if there are conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, placenta previa, multiple pregnancies (twins), or previous pregnancy complications. These require closer monitoring and specialised care.
Do I need a C-section, or can I have a normal delivery?
This depends on your health, the baby’s condition, and the progress of the pregnancy. Dr Sheela supports normal delivery whenever possible, but ensures a C-section is performed when it is medically safer for mother and baby.
