Looking for a ladies doctor, pregnancy doctor or women's health specialist? A gynaecologist is the medical term for a ladies doctor who handles all aspects of women's health including irregular periods, PCOS, pregnancy, delivery, fertility problems, fibroids and menopause. In India, most women see their gynaecologist for both routine check-ups and pregnancy care. A qualified ladies doctor holds MBBS followed by MS (Obstetrics and Gynaecology) or DGO. For high-risk pregnancies, look for a gynaecologist affiliated with a hospital that has a well-equipped NICU. For issues like fibroids or ovarian cysts, seek a specialist experienced in laparoscopic procedures.
