Who is a Gynaecologist?
A gynaecologist is a medical specialist who focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina and breasts. They diagnose and manage a wide range of gynaecological conditions, from menstrual and hormonal concerns to infections, fibroids, endometriosis and other reproductive health problems.
Gynaecologists also provide preventive and routine care, including health assessments and screening when appropriate. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve medicines, lifestyle measures, hormonal therapy or minimally invasive and surgical procedures. They may also work with specialists from other medical disciplines when a condition requires multidisciplinary care.

Conditions Our Gynaecologists Treat at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad
Our gynaecologists at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad, diagnose and manage a broad range of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that can affect menstrual cycles, ovulation and fertility. It may also be associated with symptoms such as excess hair growth, acne and weight-related concerns. Management depends on the individual's symptoms and may include lifestyle changes, medicines and treatment for fertility when required.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause painful periods, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse and, in some cases, difficulties with fertility. Treatment may involve medicines to manage symptoms and hormonal treatment, while surgery may be considered for selected patients.
Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Some fibroids do not cause symptoms, while others may lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain or fertility-related concerns. Treatment depends on the size, number and location of the fibroids, as well as the symptoms and reproductive plans.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or other growths that develop in or on an ovary. Many ovarian cysts are harmless and resolve without treatment, while others may cause pelvic pain, menstrual changes or other symptoms. Gynaecological evaluation helps determine whether monitoring, medicines or further treatment is required.
Menstrual Disorders
Menstrual disorders can include unusually heavy bleeding, painful periods, irregular cycles or bleeding between periods. These changes can have several underlying causes, including hormonal disturbances, fibroids, endometriosis and other gynaecological conditions. Treatment is directed towards identifying and addressing the underlying cause.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection affecting the female reproductive organs, often involving the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. It may cause pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, fever or pain during intercourse. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to reduce the risk of complications.
Vaginal Infections
Vaginal infections can result from an imbalance of microorganisms or infections caused by bacteria, fungi or parasites. Symptoms may include abnormal discharge, itching, irritation, unpleasant odour or discomfort. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve appropriate antimicrobial or antifungal medicines.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine. It can occur due to factors such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, pregnancy and childbirth, ageing or other underlying conditions. Evaluation helps determine the type and cause of incontinence so that appropriate measures, exercises, medicines or procedures can be recommended.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when one or more pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder or rectum, descend from their normal position because the supporting pelvic tissues have weakened. It may cause a feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvis, difficulty with urination or bowel movements, or a bulge in the vagina. Treatment depends on the severity of the prolapse and may include pelvic floor exercises, supportive measures or surgery.
Menopause-Related Concerns
Menopause is a natural stage of life when menstrual periods permanently stop due to changes in ovarian hormone production. The transition may cause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness and changes in mood. Gynaecological care can help assess symptoms and discuss appropriate measures for managing them.
Infertility
Infertility refers to difficulty achieving pregnancy despite regular unprotected sexual intercourse over a defined period. Female infertility can have several causes, including ovulation disorders, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes and age-related changes in fertility. Gynaecological evaluation can help identify potential causes and determine whether further fertility assessment or treatment is appropriate.
Gynaecological Cancers
Gynaecological cancers can develop in organs of the female reproductive system, including the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina and vulva. Symptoms and treatment vary according to the type and stage of cancer. Diagnosis may involve clinical examination, imaging, screening tests or biopsy, while treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or other specialised cancer treatments.
Gynaecology Treatments and Procedures Offered at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad
At Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad, patients have access to a range of medical treatments, minimally invasive procedures and surgical interventions for different gynaecological conditions. The gynaecology team offers both established and advanced approaches to care, with treatment selected according to the condition and clinical requirements. Some of the key treatments and procedures offered include:
Medical Management
Many gynaecological conditions can be managed with medicines, depending on their underlying cause and severity. Treatment may include hormonal medicines, pain-relieving medicines, antibiotics or other condition-specific therapies to control symptoms and address the underlying problem.
Hormonal Therapy
Hormonal treatment may be recommended for conditions associated with hormonal imbalances or changes in reproductive hormone levels. It may be used to manage problems such as irregular or painful periods, endometriosis and certain symptoms associated with menopause.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Pelvic floor exercises and rehabilitation can help strengthen the muscles that support the pelvic organs and control bladder function. They may form part of the management of urinary incontinence and selected cases of pelvic organ prolapse.
Colposcopy
Colposcopy is a specialised examination used to closely examine the cervix, vagina or vulva when an abnormal cervical screening result or other concern requires further evaluation. A small tissue sample may be taken during the procedure if an area appears abnormal.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy involves using a thin, lighted instrument to examine the inside of the uterus through the vagina and cervix. It can help diagnose and treat conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine polyps and some types of fibroids.
Laparoscopic Gynaecological Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach in which surgical instruments and a camera are introduced through small incisions in the abdomen. Depending on the condition, it may be used for procedures involving ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fibroids and other pelvic conditions.
Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. It may be recommended for selected conditions such as symptomatic fibroids, severe endometriosis, certain cases of abnormal uterine bleeding or gynaecological cancers when other treatment options are unsuitable or ineffective.
Myomectomy
Myomectomy involves removing uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. It may be considered for women with symptomatic fibroids who wish to retain their uterus, including in some cases where future pregnancy is desired. The surgical approach depends on the size, number and location of the fibroids.
Ovarian Cyst Surgery
Some ovarian cysts require surgical removal when they are large, persistent, symptomatic or have features that require further evaluation. The procedure may be performed using minimally invasive or conventional surgical techniques depending on the nature of the cyst and the individual clinical situation.
Endometriosis Surgery
Surgery for endometriosis may be considered when symptoms remain significant despite medical treatment or when endometriotic tissue affects pelvic organs. Laparoscopic techniques may be used to identify and remove endometriosis while preserving healthy tissue wherever possible.
Treatment for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Treatment for pelvic organ prolapse depends on the type and severity of prolapse and the symptoms it causes. Management may include pelvic floor exercises, supportive devices and, when appropriate, surgical procedures to restore support to the affected pelvic organs.
Gynaecological Cancer Treatment
Treatment for gynaecological cancers is planned according to the type, location and stage of cancer. Depending on the diagnosis, care may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted treatment or a combination of approaches, with the treatment plan determined in consultation with the relevant specialists.
When to Consult a Gynaecologist
Certain symptoms or changes in menstrual, reproductive or pelvic health may require evaluation by a gynaecologist, particularly when they are persistent, recurrent or unexplained. Consider consulting a gynaecologist if any of the following are present:
Unusually heavy or irregular periods: Significant changes in menstrual flow, periods that occur unusually frequently or infrequently, or bleeding that interferes with daily activities may require evaluation.
Severe menstrual pain: Period pain that is severe, persistent or interferes with normal activities may indicate an underlying condition such as endometriosis or fibroids.
Persistent pelvic pain: Ongoing pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis, particularly when its cause is unclear, should be assessed by a gynaecologist.
Abnormal vaginal discharge: A change in the amount, colour, consistency or odour of vaginal discharge, especially when accompanied by itching, irritation or pain, may require evaluation.
Bleeding between periods or after intercourse: Unexpected vaginal bleeding outside the usual menstrual cycle or following sexual intercourse should be assessed to determine its cause.
Menopausal symptoms: Persistent symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness or changes in menstrual patterns during the menopausal transition may benefit from specialist guidance.
Difficulty conceiving: Women who have been trying to conceive without success may benefit from a gynaecological assessment to identify possible factors affecting fertility.
Urinary leakage or pelvic pressure: Unintentional urine leakage, a feeling of heaviness in the pelvis or a vaginal bulge may be associated with pelvic floor weakness or pelvic organ prolapse.
Breast or nipple changes: A new lump, unexplained pain, nipple discharge or other persistent breast changes should be medically evaluated.
Symptoms that persist despite treatment: ynaecological symptoms that continue, recur or do not improve with initial treatment may require further assessment or a specialist opinion.
