Importance of Gynaecologists

Gynaecologists are medical specialists /doctors who are qualified enough and have proven expertise in women’s reproductive health. They develop best possible individualised care for women at all stages of life. They are experienced enough to handle issues related to periods/menstruation, preconception, PCOS, infertility and menopause etc. They draw custom made care plans to structure your diet and lifestyle after studying in-depth about your health issues and correspondingly offer correct diagnosis and treatment. 

Difference between Obstetrics and Gynaecology / Which doctor consults for pregnancy?

An Obstetrician is primarily a doctor who specialises in prenatal pregnancy care and post pregnancy issues whereas a Gynaecologist is a doctor who specialises in everything concerning reproductive health in women. An obstetrician deals with issues related to pregnancy, meaning he/she becomes the main doctor to consult for women trying to get pregnant and facing infertility issues (finding it difficult to get pregnant).

How does a Gynaecologist help in reversing the PCOS Symptoms?

PCOS is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterised by a hormonal imbalance that can result in a range of symptoms like irregular periods, acne, weight gain and infertility. Since it is a hormonal disorder, seeing a reproductive endocrinologist helps as endocrinologists are the doctors who look into matters related to hormonal health. However, you can seek help from a gynaecologist to treat your PCOS. A gynaecologist is a doctor who specialises in overall reproductive health of women and helps in treating various reproductive health issues including PCOS. He/she is trained to exercise a PCOS reversal approach like personalised meal plans, exercise routines, targeted supplements to manage PCOS symptoms as well as fertility treatment for PCOS. Book an appointment with well-trained and judgement-free gynaecologists from Newmi to treat your PCOS condition. 

Dealing with fertility issues? Consult a fertility expert

Infertility is a condition in which you find it difficult to conceive. Your age, prevailing health conditions, menstrual abnormalities, blocked fallopian tubes, PCOS or other pelvic inflammatory diseases could be the reason why you are not able to conceive naturally. Many times PCOS and infertility symptoms overlap, causing an impediment in pregnancy. 

Infertility experts and your ob & gyn discuss treatment for PCOS and fertility with you after studying your medical history in such a scenario. Further, to help you with the conception process, the fertility expert will suggest lifestyle changes and a healthy diet backed by a good fitness regime. For the cases of unexplained infertility, your fertility doctor will call for an IVF (In Vitro fertilization), a series of procedures that help with fertility and conception. Get a thorough evaluation done for your fertility issues. You can also join Newmi’s conception care plans and they will take care of everything for you from fertility doctor consultation to diet, fitness.  

Is it necessary for You to See an Endocrinologist for PCOS?

An Endocrinologist is a medical professional who focuses on identifying and treating diseases of the endocrine system and hormones. PCOS is a health disorder that affects the hormonal imbalance. PCOS conditions can be managed by gynaecologists but if you have severe PCOS symptoms where underlying endocrine issues might be aggravating the condition, seeing an endocrinologist is advised. Endocrinologists offer treatment options for PCOS like hormone replacement therapy, medications/ treatments to improve fertility etc.
