Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, compassionate answers to the questions patients ask Dr. Fehmida Shaikh most often.
What symptoms should prompt a gynaecological consultation?
You should consult a gynaecologist for persistent lower abdominal or pelvic pain, painful periods (dysmenorrhoea), abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding, irregular cycles, unusual vaginal discharge, pain during intercourse, or pelvic heaviness.
How are irregular or abnormally heavy menstrual periods diagnosed?
Diagnosis begins with a thorough clinical history, pelvic examination, hormonal blood work (thyroid, prolactin, FSH, LH), and a high-resolution pelvic ultrasound to evaluate the uterine lining, fibroids, polyps, or ovarian cysts.
What causes recurrent vaginal infections and how are they treated?
Recurrent infections may stem from bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis (yeast), or hormonal fluctuations. Dr. Shaikh conducts precise microbiological swabs and prescribes targeted antimicrobial treatment alongside guidance on vaginal microbiome balance.
What is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and how is it managed?
PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs that can cause chronic pelvic pain and fallopian tube scarring if untreated. Early diagnosis with targeted antibiotics and anti-inflammatory therapy prevents long-term fertility complications.
Are adolescent gynaecology consultations available?
Yes. We offer compassionate, reassuring consultations for teenage girls experiencing delayed puberty, severely painful periods, irregular cycles, or acne and hair growth related to early hormonal imbalances.
How should I prepare for my first gynaecological appointment?
Note down the date of your last menstrual period, bring previous medical records or scan reports, and prepare any questions or symptoms you wish to discuss with Dr. Fehmida Shaikh.
