What is a Gynecologist?

A gynecologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the health and care of the female reproductive system. This includes the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a wide variety of conditions affecting the vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts. Gynecologists also provide essential health services related to pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. At Asvins Specialty Hospital, we are proud to offer exceptional care for women of all ages, from adolescence through menopause and beyond. Our gynecologist, Dr. D. Leela, brings years of experience in delivering comprehensive, compassionate, and high-quality gynecological care.

What Does a Gynecologist Do?

A gynecologist offers a broad spectrum of services that are vital for a woman’s health and well-being. Their expertise covers various areas including:

1. Routine Checkups and Screenings: Regular gynecological exams, such as Pap smears and pelvic exams, are essential for early detection of any abnormalities, such as cervical cancer, ovarian cysts, or other reproductive health issues.
2. Menstrual Issues: Gynecologists treat conditions like irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful menstruation, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
3. Pregnancy and Fertility Care: A gynecologist plays a crucial role in prenatal care, helping women navigate the various stages of pregnancy, from conception to post-pregnancy care. They also provide fertility treatments and guidance for those trying to conceive.
4. Menopause Management: Gynecologists manage symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, hormonal imbalances, and osteoporosis, helping women transition smoothly through this life stage.
5. Sexual Health and Infections: They provide treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), yeast infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and other reproductive health issues.
6. Breast Health: A gynecologist is also trained to perform breast exams and screen for breast cancer, offering both preventive care and treatment.

When Should You See a Gynecologist?

It is recommended that women visit a gynecologist regularly, starting in their teenage years, especially when they begin menstruating or become sexually active. After that, annual checkups are advised to monitor general reproductive health. However, you should consult a gynecologist if you experience any of the following:

• Irregular periods or unusual bleeding
• Pain during intercourse or menstruation
• Pregnancy concerns or fertility issues
• Menopausal symptoms
• Unexplained weight changes or pelvic pain
• Abnormal discharge or infections
