Gynaecology

UMC Hospitals, a trusted gynaecology hospital in Navi Mumbai, provides comprehensive, consultant-led gynaecology care across adolescence, reproductive years, and menopause, focused on accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, and long-term women’s health. Care pathways are individualized, protocol-driven, and coordinated with endocrinology, radiology, oncology, physiotherapy, and mental health services. Treatment is rarely one-size-fits-all. Some concerns settle with medication and lifestyle correction. Others may need a procedure. Some patients may also need a combination of all.

Conditions We Treat

• Menstrual and Hormonal Disorders
  Irregular cycles, delayed periods, or heavy bleeding where pads need changing every 2–3 hours. A fair number of these cases relate to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, though thyroid imbalance or raised prolactin may also be contributors.
• Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis
  Pain beginning 2–3 days before periods, sometimes radiating toward the sacral region or thighs, may indicate Endometriosis. Patients often describe a deep, dragging sensation rather than sharp pain.
• Fibroids and Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB)
  Fibroids measuring 3–5 cm or larger may cause pressure, frequent urination, or excessive bleeding. Not all require surgery; decisions depend on symptoms and location.
• Cervical and Vaginal Health
  Persistent discharge, recurrent infections, abnormal Pap smear findings, or HPV-related changes are evaluated with appropriate follow-up.
• Ovarian and Tubal Conditions
  Ovarian cysts, benign tumors, or fallopian tube-related concerns, particularly when fertility planning is involved.
• Urogynecology and Pelvic Floor Disorders
  Urine leakage while coughing or a sensation of vaginal bulge, often seen after childbirth or with advancing age.
• Gynaecologic Oncology Pathways
  Screening and early evaluation for cancers involving the cervix, uterus, ovaries, or vulva, with coordinated multidisciplinary planning.

Diagnostic Approach

Our Department of Gynaecology is supported by targeted diagnostic tools, used based on clinical need rather than routine testing:

• Pelvic Ultrasound with Doppler
  First-line imaging to assess uterus, ovaries, and blood flow patterns
• Saline Infusion Sonography
  Helps evaluate the uterine cavity in cases of abnormal bleeding
• Hysteroscopy
  Direct visualization of the uterine cavity for polyps, fibroids, or adhesions, often combined with treatment
• Colposcopy
  Magnified examination of the cervix following abnormal screening, with directed biopsy when required
• Hormonal and Metabolic Panels
  Including thyroid, prolactin, and ovarian reserve markers for cycle irregularities or fertility planning

Our team of experienced gynaecologists in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals follows protocolized infection control, anticoagulation, and bleeding risk management, and WHO surgical safety checklist compliance during all diagnostic and treatment procedures.

Specialized Care Areas

Minimally Invasive Gynaecology

Focus on hysteroscopic and laparoscopic minimally invasive procedures when required. It is commonly used for ovarian cystectomy, fibroid removal, or excision of endometriosis. Blood loss is often lower, and recovery tends to be quicker compared to open surgery. Many procedures are performed as day care. Patients are usually mobilized within hours, though full recovery depends on the extent of surgery.

Urogynecology and Pelvic Floor

Evaluation and management of incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse using physiotherapy or pessaries. Surgical options, if required, include mid-urethral sling, prolapse repair, and individualized reconstruction plans.

Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain

Comprehensive assessment with symptom profiling, ultrasound/MRI, and diagnostic laparoscopy when indicated. Multimodal care that includes medical therapy, laparoscopic excision of disease, pain management, pelvic floor therapy, as well as nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

Fibroids and AUB

Stepwise care beginning with medication and iron correction. Uterus-conserving options that include hysteroscopic or laparoscopic myomectomy based on size, number, and location. Hysterectomy is considered for select cases.

Cervical Health and Vaccination

Structured cervical screening with Pap and HPV testing, along with counselling for HPV vaccination in eligible age groups to reduce long-term cancer risk.

Menopause Clinic

Personalized management of vasomotor symptoms, sleep and mood concerns, and genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Bone health is addressed with calcium, vitamin D, and DEXA scans when indicated. Consideration of hormone therapy or non-hormonal options after risk–benefit assessment.

Adolescent Gynaecology

Care for irregular periods, acne, and early hormonal concerns with emphasis on reassurance and gradual correction. Our team is focused on providing confidential, age-appropriate education and family-inclusive guidance.

Fertility and Preconception (Non-Obstetric)

Evaluation of ovulation, tubal patency, uterine factors, and ovarian reserve testing. Collaborative care with fertility specialists for assisted reproduction when indicated, maintaining gynaecology-led medical optimization. Preconception counseling focused on cycle health, thyroid/PCOS control, and nutrition.

The Care Journey

The first consultation usually involves a detailed discussion, sometimes longer than patients expect. A focused examination follows if required; internal exams are not done routinely and are guided by clinical need. Treatment is explained step by step, including what can be observed, what needs medication, and where a procedure may help. Follow-ups are important, especially in chronic conditions where adjustments are often needed. Patients are encouraged to bring previous reports and, if possible, maintain a simple record of symptoms or cycle patterns. Even rough notes can provide useful clarity.
