FAQs – OBGYN & Fertility Specialist in Malleshwaram
What symptoms should I see a gynaecologist for?
You should consult a gynaecologist if you experience irregular periods, heavy bleeding, severe cramps, unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, or any changes related to menstrual health. Early consultation ensures timely diagnosis and prevents complications.
When should a woman schedule her first gynaecology check-up?
A woman should ideally have her first gynaecology visit during adolescence or when menstrual cycles begin. Regular check-ups are recommended once a year to screen for infections, hormonal issues, PCOS, cervical health concerns, and overall reproductive wellness.
How often should Pap smear and pelvic exams be done?
A Pap smear is generally recommended every 3 years for women aged 21–65, and annually if you have a history of abnormal results, weakened immunity, or additional risk factors. Your gynaecologist will guide the right screening frequency for you.
What are the signs of a high-risk pregnancy?
A pregnancy may be considered high-risk if there is high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid issues, previous miscarriage, low-lying placenta, twin pregnancy, or complications in previous deliveries. Early and consistent antenatal care helps ensure a safe pregnancy.
Are irregular periods normal?
Irregular cycles are common but can indicate underlying conditions like PCOS, thyroid imbalance, stress, weight fluctuations, or hormonal changes. A gynaecologist can assess the cause and provide timely treatment.
