Women's & maternity care
In short
Obstetrics and Gynaecology at AJ Subaitha Medical Centre in Egmore, Chennai covers pregnancy care from the first scan through to delivery, and treatment for irregular periods, PCOS, fibroids, white discharge, menopause symptoms and infertility. Keyhole gynaecological surgery is available. Outpatient consultations run Monday to Saturday, 10am to 9pm.
If you are not sure whether this is the department you need, this is what it covers and what each of these conditions actually involves.
Care runs from the first scan through to delivery — confirming the pregnancy and dates, the scans and blood tests due at each stage, watching blood pressure, sugar and the baby's growth, and answering the questions that come with a first pregnancy or a difficult previous one. Regular visits exist to catch the things that are silent early and treatable when found.
Cycles that are unpredictable, very heavy, very painful or have stopped are worth investigating rather than tolerating. The cause may be hormonal, structural, thyroid-related or something else, and treatment differs completely depending on which — so it is examined rather than guessed.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal condition that can show up as irregular or absent periods, weight that is difficult to shift, acne, excess hair growth, or difficulty conceiving. It is long-term and it is managed rather than finished with, but management makes a real difference — to cycles, to symptoms and to fertility.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the wall of the uterus. Many cause nothing at all and are found incidentally; others cause heavy or painful periods, pressure, or trouble conceiving. Whether they need treating depends on size, position and what they are actually doing to you.
Some discharge is normal and changes through the cycle. What is worth examining is a change — in amount, colour or smell — or discharge with itching, burning or pain, which usually points to an infection that is straightforward to treat once identified.
Hot flushes, disturbed sleep, mood changes, dryness and irregular cycles in the years around menopause are common and are not something to simply endure. There are ways to make this stretch easier, and they start with a consultation rather than with a supplement.
Difficulty conceiving is investigated in both partners, because the cause lies with the man in a substantial share of cases and testing only one side wastes time. Consultation is private and records stay confidential.
Where surgery is needed, keyhole (laparoscopic) gynaecological surgery is available. What suits your case is discussed after examination.
Not every symptom needs a specialist, and waiting is reasonable for a great many of them. These are the ones worth an appointment rather than another week of watching.
Bring any previous reports and the actual strips of the medicines you are taking — the packaging carries the strength, which the name alone does not. Tests ordered on the day are processed in the laboratory here, so most reports reach your consultant within the same visit.
AJSMC does not run a casualty or trauma unit. In a life-threatening emergency — an accident, chest pain, stroke symptoms or heavy bleeding — call 108 or go directly to the nearest hospital with a 24-hour emergency department.
