Find a gynecologist and obstetrician

A gynecologist (gynaecologist) looks after women’s reproductive health: periods, fertility, contraception, infections and menopause. An obstetrician cares for you through pregnancy, childbirth and the weeks after. In India most of these doctors do both, with an MS or MD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a DNB or a DGO.

What a gynecologist and obstetrician treats

  • Irregular, heavy or painful periods
  • PCOS (also called PCOD)
  • Pregnancy care, from the first visit to delivery and after
  • Contraception and family planning
  • Vaginal infections, discharge and itching
  • Difficulty getting pregnant
  • Menopause symptoms such as hot flushes and irregular bleeding
  • Cervical cancer screening and advice on HPV vaccination

Good reasons to book a visit

  • A positive pregnancy test: book your first antenatal visit
  • Periods that are very heavy, very painful, or have stopped without pregnancy
  • Bleeding between periods, after sex, or after menopause
  • Unusual discharge, itching or a bad smell
  • Ongoing pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis, or pain during sex
  • Trying for a baby for a year without success (six months if you are over 35)

Get emergency help instead if you notice

  • In pregnancy: heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or fluid leaking
  • In pregnancy: severe headache, blurred vision, sudden swelling of the face or hands, or a fit
  • In pregnancy: the baby moving much less than usual
  • Severe pain on one side of the lower abdomen with dizziness or fainting, especially with a missed period

Call 108 for an ambulance or 112 for any emergency. For pregnant women and newborns, many states also run the free 102 ambulance service.

What to bring to your visit

  • The date your last period started, or your period-tracker app
  • Pregnancy test results and any scan or blood reports
  • Your antenatal card (MCP card) if you are pregnant

Frequently asked questions

When should I have my first pregnancy check-up?

As soon as you have a positive pregnancy test. The first visit confirms and dates the pregnancy, starts routine tests and supplements such as folic acid, and plans your check-ups for the months ahead.

What is the difference between a gynecologist and an obstetrician?

A gynecologist treats conditions of the female reproductive system at any age. An obstetrician specialises in pregnancy and childbirth. In India most doctors are trained in both, so the same doctor can usually help with either.

Should I see a gynecologist for PCOS?

Yes. PCOS (PCOD) is one of the most common reasons for a visit. Your gynecologist may advise blood tests and an ultrasound, and treatment usually combines lifestyle changes with medicines chosen for your symptoms and plans.

Can I book a gynecologist for my mother or sister?

Yes. With family profiles on Doctserve you can book visits and keep records for family members from your own account.
