In the first trimester: blood group, CBC, blood sugar, thyroid, dating scan, and nuchal translucency screening. In the second trimester: anomaly scan (18–22 weeks) and glucose tolerance test. Dr. Sanjana will guide you on all required tests.
Fertility & PCOS
If under 35 and trying for 12 months without success, or over 35 and trying for 6 months. Women with known conditions like PCOS or endometriosis can seek help even earlier.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder affecting ovulation, causing irregular periods, acne, hair growth, and weight issues. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, and fertility support if needed.
Dr. Sanjana offers fertility evaluation, IUI procedures, and co-management and referral for IVF with trusted fertility centres in Bangalore.
Surgery & Procedures
Laparoscopy is minimally invasive surgery using a camera through tiny incisions. It is used for ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, and tubal conditions. It is safe, carries lower risks than open surgery, and offers faster recovery (1–2 weeks).
Hysteroscopy diagnoses and treats conditions inside the uterus — including polyps, fibroids, adhesions (Ashermans syndrome), uterine septum, and repeated miscarriage evaluation.
General Gynaecology
Every 3 years for women aged 21–65. If combined with an HPV test, every 5 years for women aged 30–65. Dr. Sanjana will personalise the screening schedule for you.
Mild cramping is normal. Severe pain that limits your daily activities is not normal and may indicate endometriosis, adenomyosis, or fibroids. Please consult Dr. Sanjana.
Assessment of symptoms, bone density review, discussion of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) risks and benefits, non-hormonal alternatives, and cardiovascular / bone health guidance.
