Pregnancy Care Questions
When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?

Contact us immediately if you experience: severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, severe headaches with vision changes, decreased fetal movement after 28 weeks, fever above 100.4°F, severe vomiting, fluid leakage, or any other concerning symptoms. Your safety is our priority - when in doubt, call us.
Can I exercise during pregnancy?

Yes! Exercise is generally safe and beneficial during pregnancy. We recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. However, the type and intensity should be discussed during your appointment, especially if you have specific health conditions or pregnancy complications.

Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and normal activities within 1-2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery. Recovery varies based on the specific procedure and individual factors. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and are available for any concerns during your recovery.
Is the consultation confidential?
+
Absolutely. All consultations are completely confidential and conducted in a private, comfortable setting. Your medical information is protected by law and will never be shared without your explicit consent.
PCOS & Gynecological Health
How is PCOS diagnosed?
+
PCOS is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests to check hormone levels, and ultrasound to examine your ovaries. You typically need to meet at least two of three criteria: irregular periods, signs of high androgens (excess hair, acne), and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound.
Can PCOS be cured?
+
PCOS is a lifelong condition, but it can be effectively managed with proper treatment. Many women with PCOS lead healthy lives and can achieve pregnancy when desired. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, regulating periods, addressing fertility concerns, and reducing long-term health risks.
When should irregular periods be evaluated?
+
You should schedule an evaluation if your periods are consistently irregular (coming more than 35 days apart or less than 21 days apart), if you miss three or more periods in a row, if you experience very heavy bleeding, or if periods are accompanied by severe pain. These could indicate underlying conditions that need treatment.
