Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit a gynaecologist?
The frequency depends on your age, medical history and reproductive health needs. Consult your doctor for a suitable schedule.
Are irregular periods always a sign of PCOS?
No. Irregular periods can have several causes, including hormonal changes, thyroid disorders and stress. Medical evaluation helps identify the reason.
When should I start antenatal consultations during pregnancy?
It is advisable to arrange your first antenatal consultation as soon as pregnancy is confirmed.
Can ovarian cysts disappear without treatment?
Some ovarian cysts resolve naturally, while others require monitoring or treatment. The appropriate approach depends on the type, size and symptoms.
When should a couple seek medical advice for infertility?
Generally, couples should consider evaluation after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse without conception, or after 6 months if the woman is 35 or older. Earlier evaluation may be appropriate in certain medical circumstances.
Is heavy menstrual bleeding normal?
Heavy bleeding that affects daily activities, causes weakness or leads to anaemia should be medically evaluated.
