Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consult a gynaecologist?

Women should seek consultation for menstrual irregularities, pregnancy care, pelvic pain, reproductive health concerns, family planning, menopause, and preventive health check-ups.

Why is regular antenatal care important?

Regular antenatal visits help monitor the health of both mother and baby and allow timely identification of pregnancy-related concerns.

Can adolescent girls consult a gynaecologist?

Yes. Adolescent gynaecology addresses menstrual disorders, reproductive health education, and other age-specific concerns.

Are irregular periods always abnormal?

Irregular cycles can occur for several reasons. A medical assessment helps determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.

When should preconception counselling be considered?

Ideally before planning pregnancy, to optimise maternal health and identify any factors that may affect pregnancy.

Will investigations be required during every consultation?

Investigations are advised only when clinically indicated based on the patient's symptoms and examination.
