When should I visit a gynaecologist for the first time?
We recommend a first gynaecological visit between ages 13–15, or whenever a girl becomes sexually active. Regular annual check-ups are advised for all women over 21. During your first visit, our doctor will explain what to expect and make you feel comfortable.
When should I book my first antenatal appointment?
Ideally, your first antenatal appointment should be around 6–8 weeks of pregnancy. Early booking allows us to establish a complete care plan, order relevant tests, and ensure you and your baby get the best start possible.
What is a high-risk pregnancy?
A high-risk pregnancy is one where there is an increased chance of complications for the mother, baby, or both. Factors include advanced maternal age (35+), multiple pregnancy (twins/triplets), pre-existing medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension, thyroid), previous pregnancy complications, and more. Our specialized team manages all high-risk cases with extra monitoring and care.
How long does IVF treatment take?
A single IVF cycle typically takes 4–6 weeks from start to pregnancy test. It involves ovarian stimulation (10–12 days), egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. We provide detailed counseling and support throughout the entire process.
Is laparoscopic surgery safe?
Yes. Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is generally safer than open surgery, with significantly lower risk of infection, less blood loss, smaller scars, and faster recovery. Our FMAS-certified surgeons have performed 1,000+ laparoscopic procedures with excellent outcomes.
What are the symptoms of PCOS?
Common symptoms include irregular or absent periods, excess hair growth (hirsutism), acne, weight gain, thinning hair on the scalp, and difficulty getting pregnant. PCOS is diagnosed through a combination of symptoms, blood tests, and ultrasound. Early diagnosis and management significantly improves quality of life and fertility outcomes.
