A branch of medicine that specializes in the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth and in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive organs. It also specializes in other women’s health issues, such as menopause, hormone problems, contraception (birth control), and infertility. For expectant mothers, we offer comprehensive prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a safe delivery.
Regular antenatal check-ups are essential for prenatal care, allowing healthcare professionals to monitor the health of both the pregnant individual and the developing fetus. These appointments involve a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and discussions on prenatal care, nutrition, exercise, and concerns. High-risk pregnancies may require more frequent check-ups.
Antenatal tests, including ultrasound scans, blood tests, glucose challenge tests, Rh factor and antibody screening, help healthcare providers monitor pregnancy, identify complications, and make informed decisions about prenatal care.
Antenatal care and diet are essential for a healthy pregnancy and fetus, involving regular check-ups, health screenings, education, risk assessment, and a balanced diet with hydration.
Expert obstetric sonography is a specialized ultrasound technique used to assess a fetus's health and development during pregnancy, enabling prenatal screening and diagnosis of fetal abnormalities and pregnancy complications.
3D-4D obstetric sonography is an advanced imaging technique used in prenatal care to provide detailed, three-dimensional images of the fetus in utero, enhancing prenatal bonding experiences.
High-risk pregnancy care is a specialized medical approach involving preconception counseling, comprehensive prenatal care, management of pre-existing conditions, fetal intervention, emotional support, and delivery planning.
Ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition where an egg implants outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tube. Common causes include previous pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic surgery, abnormalities, maternal age over 35, smoking, and assisted reproductive technology. Symptoms include missed periods, breast tenderness, nausea, and fatigue.
Normal labor involves regular contractions, cervix dilation, and effacement, influenced by factors like maternal age, medical history, and fetal position, requiring discussion with healthcare providers.
Painless delivery, also known as pain-free childbirth, minimizes pain and discomfort during labour and childbirth, often using epidural anesthesia. Pregnant women should discuss pain management preferences with healthcare providers.
Lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) is a surgical procedure that delivers a baby through an incision in the lower uterine segment, often performed when vaginal delivery is not possible or recommended due to medical reasons. It involves sterilizing and draping the abdomen, making a horizontal delivering baby and removing placenta, and removing the placenta.
Postnatal counselling offers emotional, psychological, and practical support to individuals and families, addressing physical, emotional, and social needs, and promoting well-being, coping strategies, and self-care.
