Frequently Asked Questions
When should I visit a gynecologist?
You should visit a gynecologist for irregular or painful periods, unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, pregnancy planning, contraception, annual check-ups, or any concern about your reproductive health. Don't wait for symptoms to become severe. Regular visits help detect issues early and maintain optimal reproductive health.
What are the signs that I need to see a gynecologist immediately?
Seek immediate care if you experience: severe pelvic or abdominal pain, heavy bleeding between periods or after menopause, sudden severe headaches with vision changes during pregnancy, signs of infection (fever, foul-smelling discharge), finding a lump in your breast, or any sudden change in your menstrual pattern. These symptoms require prompt evaluation.
Is the consultation confidential?
Yes, completely. All consultations at GyneNepal are private and confidential. We maintain strict patient privacy at all times. Your medical records, discussions, and test results are protected. You can discuss sensitive concerns openly without fear of judgment or disclosure.
How do I book an appointment?
Call +977 9700682797, WhatsApp us, or click Book Appointment on our website. We offer flexible timings including evenings. Same-day appointments may be available for urgent concerns. Our staff will guide you through the booking process and answer any questions about preparation for your visit.
Do you treat white discharge (leukorrhea)?
Yes. Vaginal discharge can be caused by infections (bacterial vaginosis, yeast, STIs), hormonal changes, or cervical conditions. We provide accurate diagnosis through examination and lab tests, followed by targeted treatment. Normal discharge is clear or milky; changes in color, odor, or consistency warrant evaluation.
What age should girls start seeing a gynecologist?
Girls should have their first gynecological visit between ages 13–15, or when they become sexually active, whichever comes first. Early visits focus on education, establishing a health baseline, discussing menstrual concerns, and HPV vaccination. Building a relationship with a gynecologist early promotes lifelong reproductive health.
What happens during a gynecological examination?
A typical exam includes: a discussion of your medical history and current concerns, vital signs measurement, external examination, pelvic exam (if needed), Pap smear screening (if due), breast examination, and possibly an ultrasound. The doctor will explain each step and answer your questions. Exams are usually quick and not painful.
How often should I get a Pap smear?
Women aged 21–29 should have a Pap smear every 3 years. Women 30–65 should have a Pap smear every 3 years, or combined Pap and HPV testing every 5 years. Women over 65 may stop screening if they've had adequate prior screening and no history of cervical abnormalities. Your doctor will personalize this based on your history.
What are the common symptoms of PCOS?
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) commonly presents with: irregular periods or no periods, difficulty getting pregnant, excessive hair growth on face/body, acne and oily skin, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, hair thinning or male-pattern baldness, dark patches of skin, and mood changes. Diagnosis involves blood tests, ultrasound, and clinical evaluation.
Can I get pregnant with PCOS?
Yes, many women with PCOS conceive successfully. While PCOS can cause irregular ovulation, treatments are highly effective. Options include lifestyle modifications (weight loss, diet), medications to induce ovulation (clomiphene, letrozole), insulin-sensitizing drugs (metformin), and assisted reproductive technologies if needed. Early diagnosis and treatment improve outcomes.
What should I expect during pregnancy care?
Pregnancy care includes: monthly visits until 28 weeks, biweekly visits until 36 weeks, then weekly until delivery. Each visit monitors your blood pressure, weight, urine, fetal heartbeat, and growth. Ultrasounds track baby development. We discuss nutrition, exercise, warning signs, and birth planning. Comprehensive care ensures the best outcomes for you and your baby.
What are the warning signs during pregnancy I should watch for?
Contact us immediately if you experience: vaginal bleeding or spotting, severe abdominal pain or cramping, sudden swelling of hands/face, severe headaches that won't go away, blurred vision or seeing spots, decreased fetal movement after 28 weeks, fever over 38°C, leaking fluid from vagina, or signs of preterm labor (regular contractions before 37 weeks).
What contraception options are available?
We offer comprehensive family planning including: combined oral contraceptives, progestin-only pills, contraceptive patches and rings, IUDs (copper and hormonal), contraceptive implants, injectable contraceptives, emergency contraception, and permanent methods (tubal ligation). We'll discuss benefits, side effects, and help you choose the best option for your lifestyle and health needs.
What is menopause and when does it typically occur?
Menopause is the natural cessation of menstruation, typically occurring between ages 45–55 (average 51). Perimenopause (the transition) may start years earlier with symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep problems, and vaginal dryness. We offer hormone replacement therapy, symptom management, and health optimization during this transition.
How do you handle infertility cases?
Infertility evaluation includes: comprehensive history and physical exam, hormonal testing, ovulation assessment, tubal patency testing (HSG), semen analysis for partner, and ultrasound evaluation. Treatments range from ovulation induction and timed intercourse to IUI and IVF referrals. We provide compassionate, step-by-step guidance tailored to your specific situation.
Do you provide STD/STI testing and treatment?
Yes, we offer confidential testing for all sexually transmitted infections including: HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, herpes, and hepatitis. Testing may involve blood tests, urine samples, or swabs. Early detection and treatment prevent complications and transmission. We also provide counseling on prevention and safe practices.
