There is no fixed age. Anyone with a concern can see a gynaecologist, including teenagers with period problems. Many women also begin routine check-ups in early adulthood. Your doctor will suggest a schedule that suits your age and health.

Call +91 93906 34074, open 24 hours, 7 days a week, or visit M'Brace at LB Nagar or King Koti. Tell the team your concern, and they will book you with a suitable doctor. Bring any previous reports to your first visit.

Start a few months before you plan to conceive. Preconception counselling is a medical talk with your gynaecologist to prepare for pregnancy. You review your health history, current medicines and any concerns, so your doctor can guide your preparation.

If you are under 35, see a doctor after a year of trying without pregnancy. If you are 35 or older, see one after six months. Earlier is fine if your periods are irregular or you have known health concerns. Your gynaecologist can start tests or refer you to fertility care.

Natural menopause usually happens in the mid-to-late 40s or early 50s. Menopause means your periods have stopped for 12 months in a row. Some women notice irregular periods and other changes for a few years before that.

See a doctor when symptoms affect your sleep, mood or daily life. Common symptoms include hot flushes, poor sleep and mood changes. Any bleeding after menopause needs a medical check, even if you feel well. Your gynaecologist can explain your options.

Laparoscopic surgery is an operation done through a few small cuts instead of one large cut. The surgeon uses a thin camera and fine instruments. In robotic-assisted surgery, the surgeon controls those instruments with robotic support. M'Brace offers laparoscopic surgery in Hyderabad, and your doctor decides whether it suits your condition.

Not necessarily. A consultation often starts with questions, an examination and tests, and your doctor may suggest other treatments first. Surgery is advised only when it suits your condition. Before any procedure, your doctor will explain the risks, benefits and alternatives.
