Frequently Asked Questions
As an Obstetrician and Gynecologist, I specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions related to women’s health, including pregnancy care, menstrual disorders, menopausal care, infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic pain, and various other gynaecological conditions.
During your first visit, I will take a detailed medical history, ask about any current health concerns, and conduct a physical exam. Depending on your health needs, we may perform tests like pap smears, ultrasound, or blood work. I will also answer any questions you may have and discuss a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
It’s recommended that women begin gynaecological visits at the age of 21 or when they become sexually active. After that, you should have an annual check-up or as advised by your gynaecologist, especially if you have specific health concerns or a history of gynaecological issues.
Treatment for heavy periods depends on the underlying cause. Options may include lifestyle changes, hormonal treatments (like birth control pills or IUDs), medications to control bleeding, or surgical options like endometrial ablation or a hysterectomy for severe cases.
Yes, women with PCOS can get pregnant, though it may be more challenging due to irregular ovulation. With appropriate treatment, such as medication to regulate ovulation, many women with PCOS successfully conceive. If you are struggling with fertility, I can help guide you through your options.
Managing menopause symptoms often involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and therapies. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), non-hormonal medications, and natural supplements may help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. I will assess your specific symptoms to recommend the best approach.
Yes, I provide specialised care for high-risk pregnancies, which may include conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, multiple pregnancies, or a history of complications. I closely monitor both mother and baby throughout the pregnancy and provide personalised care to ensure the best possible outcome.
