Gynecology & Obstetrics

Tests your doctor may suggest

Depending on your concern, your doctor may suggest an examination, an ultrasound scan, and blood tests such as a blood count, thyroid tests, iron studies or hormone tests like FSH, LH and AMH. Pregnancy care includes regular checkups and tests at set stages.

What to expect at your first visit

Bring a photo ID, any previous prescriptions, reports and scans, and a list of the medicines and supplements you take. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long you have had them and your medical and family history, examine you, and explain whether any tests are needed. Please confirm available services, timings and fees with the hospital before you visit.

It helps to note the date of your last period and how regular your cycle usually is.

When to seek urgent care

Heavy bleeding that soaks through pads quickly, severe abdominal pain, bleeding or leaking fluid during pregnancy, reduced baby movements, severe headache or swelling in pregnancy, or fainting need urgent medical care.
