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.

FAQs

Gynecology & Obstetrics: common questions

How often should I have a gynecology checkup?
Your doctor can advise a schedule based on your age and history. Many women benefit from a routine review at regular intervals, and sooner if symptoms appear.
When should I see a doctor in early pregnancy?
Arrange an antenatal visit as soon as you know you are pregnant, so that care, supplements and tests can be planned.
Are irregular periods a problem?
Occasional changes are common, but persistent irregular, heavy or missed periods should be checked, as causes such as thyroid problems or PCOS can be treated.
What are FSH, LH and AMH tests?
They are hormone tests that doctors use when assessing periods and fertility. Whether you need them depends on your situation.
