Diagnostic Facilities
A Cervical Biopsy removes cells from the Cervix to diagnose cervical cancer and other diseases or conditions. Cervical Biopsy involves a wire loop or a surgical instrument called a Colposcope. The colposcope allows the doctor to see the surface of the Cervix and take a sample of tissue for examination under a microscope.
A Non-Stress Test is a prenatal diagnostic procedure to check for fetal well-being and determine if there are any problems with the baby's or mother's health. The doctor places electrodes on the mother's abdomen and monitors the baby's heartbeat. The test takes a few minutes and is entirely non-invasive.
USG Scan uses ultrasound waves to image internal organs. It detects the presence of fluid-filled cysts, tumours, or other bodily abnormalities. The test is performed on pregnant women by an obstetrician or radiologist who will look for signs that the fetus is developing as expected.
Pap Smear helps to detect cervical cancer by taking a sample of cells from the Cervix and examining them under a microscope. The Pap smear is the leading diagnosis tool for detecting precancerous and early-stage cervical cancers before they cause symptoms or spread to other body parts.
HPV Test helps to detect Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cervical cancer and other cancers. It can also cause genital warts. HPV has more than 100 types, some harmless, while others can lead to cancer. Nearly all sexually active men and women will get at least one type of HPV. While most people who get HPV never develop symptoms or health problems from it.
Colposcopy evaluates cervical lesions with the aid of a colposcope. The procedure requires a patient to lie flat on her back with her feet in stirrups. The doctor uses a speculum in the Vagina, allowing for direct visualisation of the Cervix and applies a solution which causes abnormal cells to turn bright.
Hysteroscopy examines the inside of the Uterus for abnormalities by inserting a thin tube into the Vagina and passing it through the Cervix into the Uterus. Hysteroscopy can look for uterine abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, or tumours.
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is a prenatal diagnostic test involving a sample of Chorionic Villi, which are tiny finger-like projections that develop from the placenta. The test diagnoses genetic disorders in fetuses, such as Down syndrome.
A procedure that involves monitoring follicular development in assisted reproductive technology (ART). The procedure uses ultrasound to identify and measure individual follicles as they develop within the ovary. This technique allows doctors to evaluate how many eggs have been released from each follicle to determine whether there is enough material for fertilisation.
An Anomaly Scan is a non-invasive test performed during pregnancy to determine if there are any abnormalities in the fetus. It uses ultrasonography to identify the fetus's size, shape and position, as well as its heart rate and movements. Doctors usually recommend Anomaly Scan between 18 weeks and 21 weeks of pregnancy.
A Viability Scan is an ultrasound that pregnant women can undergo during the first trimester of their pregnancy. This test observes the fetus' heartbeat and how far along the pregnancy is. A viability scan gives viability of pregnancy and ensures the fetus is healthy.
Doppler Studies work by sending high-frequency sound waves into the body and measuring their echo, allowing doctors to detect any abnormalities in blood flow, which can indicate that there are problems with the Placenta or Umbilical Cord.
Fetal Echo Studies are a non-invasive way to see the fetus. It uses sound waves to create images of the fetus. Doctors use the results to diagnose abnormalities or confirm a healthy pregnancy. A Transabdominal Scan uses an ultrasound wand placed over the belly button, while a Transvaginal Scan uses an ultrasound probe in the Vagina. Both scans allow doctors to see inside the Uterus and view the fetus's anatomy, including its spine and heart.
Amniocentesis diagnoses genetic abnormalities in the fetus. During the test, doctors insert a needle into the Uterus to withdraw some amniotic fluid from around the fetus and analyse for Chromosomal Abnormalities.

The IUD is a small T-shaped device used as a contraceptive method. It is also known as the Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD). The IUD prevents sperm from entering the Uterus by killing them before they reach the Uterus. The IUCD releases copper ions into the Uterus, which kills any sperm that may be present there. It also prevents an egg's fertilisation by inhibiting implantation into the Uterus's wall.
Hysterectomy treats abnormal growths by surgical removal of a woman's Uterus. This procedure relieves symptoms associated with the Uterus, such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure that cause significant problems for the patient. Doctors also recommend Hysterectomy if a woman has an abnormal growth within her Uterus that could lead to cancer.
Sterilisation is the permanent contraception method for females. It is a surgical procedure which completely prevents pregnancy. The procedure involves cutting and sealing the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the Uterus. Sterilisation can happen via laparoscopic or open surgery.
The Cerclage supports the Cervix when there is a risk of preterm labour or in cases where there has been a previous cesarean section (C-section). It can also help if other risks are associated with the pregnancy, including Placenta Previa and Placenta Accreta. Cerclage involves placing stitches around the lower part of the Uterus in order to keep it closed. These stitches will remain in place for about two weeks. This procedure aims to prevent premature birth, which can lead to serious health problems for both mother and child.
Puberty disorders are a group of conditions that cause the onset of puberty to be delayed beyond 13 years or brought on before eight years of age. Delayed onset of puberty beyond 13 years may occur when the pituitary gland fails to secrete enough luteinising hormone (LH) to stimulate the ovaries or testes. Precocious or early onset before eight years may result from a tumour in the brain's hypothalamus region, which secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
Doctors understand the condition to recommend the treatment.
PCOD is a condition that can result in infertility. PCOD stands for Polycystic Ovary Disease, meaning that the ovaries produce too many hormones. PCOD can cause irregular periods and make it difficult to get pregnant. PCOD often impacts women who have problems with their weight or metabolism. It may also result from hormonal imbalances, stress, or chronic illnesses like diabetes or hypothyroidism. The treatments for PCOD include birth control pills, medications and lifestyle changes.
Hormone Therapy treats menopause-related complications that may include hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Hormones manage these symptoms by replacing the hormones that are decreasing during menopause. Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) is the most common hormone therapy, which uses estrogens to reduce the symptoms. Hormone therapy can be taken orally (pill form), transdermally (patch), or vaginally (vaginal ring).
Cryosurgery destroys suspicious cells or tissue in the Cervix using liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Cryosurgery treats precancerous lesions and cancers of the Cervix. In this minimally invasive procedure, a thin tube is inserted into the Vagina and guided through the Cervix to the area of concern. A freezing agent is then injected through this tube into the tissue, causing cell death and destruction of any suspicious cells or tissue.

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the Uterus. They can be present in women of any age, but they are most common in women over 40.
Large fibroids can lead to infertility and miscarriage, as well as heavy bleeding during periods. Smaller fibroids do not usually cause any problems at all.
Symptoms of fibroids include painful periods, heavy bleeding between periods, pain during sex, and urinary incontinence (inability to control urine).
Female sterilisation is a permanent form of birth control that is sometimes reversible.
Sterilisation is one of the most effective forms of birth control. It involves surgically removing the ovaries and fallopian tubes, which prevents eggs from being released.
Reversal surgery is possible. However, it has limited chances of success and needs the best gynaecologists and obstetricians in Jaipur.
PCOD affects women and girls. Women with PCOD have high levels of male hormones (androgens) in their blood, which can cause problems with ovulation and hormone production. Several treatment options are available for PCOD, including diet changes and medication.
However, it is essential to note that some women may not need any treatment if they do not have any symptoms or if the symptoms are mild. A gynaecologist in Jaipur will make a thorough diagnosis for the required treatment.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) affects the Uterus and fallopian tubes. An infection of the reproductive organs causes it. PID can result from a sexually transmitted disease or a non-sexually transmitted bacterial infection. Lower abdomen pain, irregular periods, and vaginal discharge are common. PID can lead to infertility if not treated properly.
The best gynaecologist hospital in Jaipur offers comprehensive treatment for PID and other gynaecological diseases.
