Obstetrics & Gynaecology

At Unity Hospital, the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology stands as one of the most trusted destinations for women's health, offering comprehensive care that spans every stage of a woman's reproductive life. From adolescence through pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, our team of experienced obstetricians and gynaecologists is committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and technologically advanced care tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Our obstetric services cover the complete spectrum of pregnancy care, beginning with pre-conception counselling for couples planning a family. We help prospective parents understand fertility windows, optimise nutrition, manage pre-existing health conditions, and address genetic concerns before conception. Once pregnancy is confirmed, our antenatal care programme ensures close monitoring of both mother and baby through every trimester. Regular check-ups, growth scans, Doppler studies, and screening tests for conditions such as gestational diabetes, thyroid disorders, and pre-eclampsia allow our specialists to identify and manage risks early. High-risk pregnancies, including those involving twins, advanced maternal age, prior caesarean deliveries, or underlying medical conditions like hypertension and diabetes, receive dedicated attention from our maternal-foetal medicine team, ensuring the safest possible outcome for mother and child.

Labour and delivery services at Unity Hospital are designed around safety, comfort, and choice. Our modern labour rooms are equipped with continuous foetal monitoring, epidural analgesia for painless delivery, and a skilled team of obstetricians, anaesthetists, and neonatologists available around the clock. We support natural vaginal deliveries whenever medically appropriate while maintaining full readiness for emergency and planned caesarean sections performed with the highest surgical standards. Our commitment to reducing unnecessary interventions is balanced with the assurance that advanced surgical and neonatal support is always on hand should complications arise. Post-delivery, our team focuses on early skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding support, and thorough monitoring of both mother and newborn before discharge, along with detailed guidance on postnatal recovery and newborn care.

Beyond pregnancy, our gynaecology services address the full range of women's health concerns across all age groups. We diagnose and treat menstrual irregularities, including heavy or painful periods, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and hormonal imbalances, using a combination of medical management and minimally invasive procedures where required. Our specialists manage conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and adenomyosis with individualised treatment plans that range from conservative medical therapy to advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery, preserving fertility and organ function wherever possible. For women experiencing pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or recurrent infections, we provide thorough diagnostic evaluation using ultrasound, hysteroscopy, and laboratory testing to reach an accurate diagnosis quickly.

Cervical and reproductive health screening forms a cornerstone of our preventive care philosophy. We offer regular Pap smear testing, HPV screening, and colposcopy services to detect early signs of cervical abnormalities, along with breast examination and referral pathways for mammography, enabling early detection of gynaecological cancers when treatment is most effective. Our team also provides vaccination counselling, including guidance on HPV vaccination for the prevention of cervical cancer, and works closely with oncology specialists when further management is needed.

Menopause management is another key focus area for our department. As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, they often experience a range of physical and emotional changes, including hot flushes, mood fluctuations, sleep disturbances, and bone density loss. Our gynaecologists provide personalised counselling and treatment options, including hormone replacement therapy where appropriate, along with guidance on bone health, cardiovascular risk reduction, and lifestyle modifications to help women navigate this stage with confidence and comfort.

Family planning and contraception counselling are offered with sensitivity and without judgement, helping women and couples choose the method best suited to their health profile and life plans, whether that involves oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, implants, or permanent sterilisation procedures. We also provide comprehensive care for adolescent gynaecological concerns, including irregular periods, delayed puberty, and reproductive health education, ensuring young women receive accurate information in a comfortable, confidential setting.

Our department places strong emphasis on minimally invasive gynaecological surgery. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques allow us to treat conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and abnormal uterine bleeding through small incisions, resulting in less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. For patients who do require major surgery, such as hysterectomy, our surgeons are trained in the latest techniques to ensure safety and optimal outcomes while preserving quality of life.

What truly sets Unity Hospital's Obstetrics & Gynaecology department apart is the seamless integration of clinical expertise with emotional support. We understand that women's health concerns are often deeply personal, and our team is trained to listen carefully, explain conditions and treatment options in clear language, and involve patients as active partners in every decision about their care. Our facility is equipped with modern ultrasound and diagnostic imaging, a dedicated labour and delivery suite, a well-appointed neonatal care unit, and comfortable private rooms that support a calm and healing environment for new mothers and their families.

Our department also recognises that many women face fertility-related concerns alongside general gynaecological health, and we work in close coordination with our Infertility Medicine specialists to ensure a smooth referral pathway whenever assisted conception support is required. This collaborative approach means that patients never have to navigate their care journey alone; instead, they benefit from a connected network of specialists who share information, align treatment plans, and provide continuity of care from the first consultation through to delivery and beyond.

Patient education is woven into every interaction at Unity Hospital. Before any procedure, whether it is a routine antenatal scan or a more involved surgical intervention, our doctors take time to walk patients through what to expect, the risks and benefits involved, and the recovery process ahead. We believe that informed patients make confident decisions, and our nursing staff and counsellors reinforce this by being available to answer questions, address anxieties, and provide reassurance throughout the treatment journey. For working women and those managing busy households, we also offer flexible appointment scheduling and, where appropriate, teleconsultation for follow-up visits, reducing the burden of frequent hospital trips during pregnancy or ongoing gynaecological treatment.

Infection control, hygiene, and safety protocols are maintained at the highest standards throughout our maternity and gynaecology wards, giving patients and their families peace of mind during what can often be a vulnerable and emotionally significant time. Our multidisciplinary approach also means that when a pregnancy or gynaecological condition intersects with other medical concerns, such as cardiac issues, diabetes, or thyroid disorders, our obstetricians work hand in hand with physicians from other departments to design a coordinated, safe treatment plan.

Whether you are planning a pregnancy, navigating a high-risk delivery, seeking treatment for a gynaecological condition, or looking for preventive screening and menopause care, the team at Unity Hospital is here to support you with expertise, empathy, and unwavering commitment to your health and wellbeing at every stage of life. Our goal is not just to treat illness but to build lasting relationships with the women and families we serve, offering a place where every concern is heard, every question is answered, and every treatment decision is made together, with trust and care at the centre of everything we do.
