What Is The Difference Between Gynaecology And Obstetrics?

Gynecology and obstetrics are two distinct medical branches that focus on women’s health. While gynaecology is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders related to women’s reproductive health and overall well-being, obstetrics is primarily focused on the health of both the mother and the newborn during and after pregnancy, including delivery. Therefore, it is important to understand that while gynaecologists mainly deal with non-pregnancy related issues, obstetricians are specialised in managing and overseeing pregnancies and childbirths.

Why Do I Need To See A Gynaecologist?

Regularly visiting a gynaecologist can be highly advantageous, as it enables early detection of diseases, illnesses, and infections, potentially preventing these conditions from worsening. This, in turn, can provide peace of mind and reduce stress related to health concerns, potentially avoiding further complications caused by stress.

At What Age Should You See A Gynaecologist For The First Time?

Ideally, girls should plan their first visit to a gynaecologist after 18 years of age. In case of any health concerns or inquiries related to their well-being, individuals may opt to schedule their first gynaecological appointment earlier than the recommended age.

Things You Should Not Do Before Seeing A Gynaecologist?

In order to get accurate results, here are a few things that one should avoid before seeing a gynaecologist: -Abstain from using contraceptive gels that can affect the test results. -Abstain from being sexually active the night before the appointment. -Do not self-examine yourself or try home remedies as they could be harmful to your health.

Tips To Prepare For Your First Gyno Visit?

The first gynaecologist visit preparation can be nerve-wracking, but these tips can help ease your concerns and ensure a successful visit: -Try to relax and make yourself as comfortable as possible, as feeling shy or nervous can make it difficult for your gynaecologist to conduct a proper diagnosis. -Prepare a list of questions you would like to ask your gynaecologist to address any concerns you may have. -Prior to your appointment, gather all necessary medical records, including those of your family members, to provide a comprehensive medical history.

The hospital billing team can provide you with an estimate of your treatment costs if desired.

11. Are your consultation and procedure fees fixed?

The cancellation fee is dependent on when you decide to reschedule or cancel your appointment. If you cancel 24-48 hours in advance, usually no cancellation charges apply.

I felt incredibly safe in Mr Nilesh Agarwal's care, with Mr Agarwal's high level of expertise, and consequently felt very confident in having the same invasive procedure carried out by his team, twice.
I had two consecutive failed pregnancies in the last year, and purposely chose to have the required operations with the same team of healthcare professionals; due to the remarkable and efficient service that I experienced with such attentive, friendly, informative, caring and compassionate professional staff, whom made me feel extremely comfortable, relaxed and dignified whilst in their care, on both occasions.
I certainly cannot commend Mr Agarwal enough, he's a phenomenal Consultant Gynaecologist.

Mr Agarwal is a wonderful consultant - I couldn’t recommend him more! He addressed all of my concerns and was proactive in providing me with a treatment plan. His quality of care is outstanding and I’m very happy with how my scars have healed post surgery - you can’t even tell I had the procedure done. Thank you!

I had an appointment and follow up with Dr Agarwal following recurrent miscarriages. He listened to our journey and suggested multiple tests to investigate all the while putting me at ease at initial appointment and when things flagged for follow up. I have gone forward with strong belief and confidence that we will have a baby one day. I can’t thank him enough for his kindness.

I was very happy with my treatment from Mr. Agarwal and the Clementine Hospital. Mr Agarwal was professional, kind and understanding, but most important, he made me feel confident that I was in expert hands. Everything went smoothly and efficiently.

I cannot be more grateful after my consultation with Mr Agarwal. He conducted a quick process of tests and procedures, and diagnosed my problem within 2 weeks, which the NHS couldn't do in 6 months. Made us feel calm and made some further recommendations for specialists we needed to see. If it wasn't for him, I would have been suffering for a long time and his understanding and reassuring nature made me feel hopeful and guided. God bless him.

21:08 31 Mar 23

I cannot express enough gratitude to Mr.N.Agarwal for the exceptional care I received during my recent keyhole surgery to remove my whole womb along with a large fibroid. From the very first consultation, Mr.N.Agarwal was incredibly informative, patient and understanding of my concerns.
The surgery itself was a great success, and I was able to recover quickly with minimal pain and discomfort.
Throughout the process, Mr.N.Agarwal demonstrated a high level of professionalism, skill, and expertise that is truly remarkable. The keyhole surgery procedure allowed for a faster recovery time and minimal scarring, which I am extremely thankful for.
I would highly recommend Mr.N.Agarwal to anyone who requires a skilled and compassionate surgeon. Thank you again for your incredible care and for helping me to feel like myself again!
