OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY

Common conditions treated include menstrual disorders, infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic infections, and cancers of the reproductive organs. Specialists also provide family planning, contraception advice, antenatal checkups, high-risk pregnancy management, and menopausal care.
