Gynaecology

Comprehensive Women’s Health Care

The Gynaecology Department at Cardea Superspeciality Hospital is dedicated to the health and well-being of women across all stages of life. From adolescence to menopause and beyond, our specialists provide compassionate and personalised care for a wide range of women’s health issues.

Women often experience conditions such as gestational diabetes, thyroid imbalances, and hypertension during pregnancy or later in life. These not only affect reproductive health but also significantly increase the risk of heart disease. At Cardea, our Gynaecology Department works in close coordination with our Cardiology and Diabetology Departments, ensuring that women receive integrated and preventive care.

Scope of Gynaecology

Our specialists manage:

• Menstrual disorders such as heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, and PCOS

• Fertility-related concerns and reproductive health

• Pregnancy care and high-risk pregnancy management

• Menopause-related symptoms and bone health

• Infections of the reproductive tract

• Uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other gynaecological conditions

• Screening and preventive care for cervical and breast cancer

Women’s Health and the Heart Connection

Research shows that heart disease is often under-recognised in women. Many women present with symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, or indigestion, which may be dismissed as routine complaints but could actually indicate underlying cardiac disease.

Some key links include:

• Gestational diabetes and hypertension increase the risk of future cardiovascular disease.

• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is often associated with obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol, all of which harm heart health.

• Menopause leads to hormonal changes that accelerate the risk of heart disease.

At Cardea, women visiting our Gynaecology Department for reproductive health are also educated and guided on maintaining cardiac wellness.

Pregnancy and High-Risk Care

Pregnancy is a natural process, but for some women, it comes with risks such as:

• Gestational diabetes

• Pregnancy-induced hypertension or pre-eclampsia

• Anaemia and thyroid disorders

• Obesity-related complications

These conditions not only affect mother and baby but also have long-term consequences for the mother’s heart. That is why high-risk pregnancies at Cardea are managed with multidisciplinary support, linking Gynaecology, Cardiology, and Diabetology.

Diagnostic and Preventive Services

Our Gynaecology Department provides:

• Ultrasound scans for pregnancy and gynaecological evaluation

• Pap smear and cervical cancer screening

• Breast health check-ups and imaging when required

• Hormone and thyroid tests for menstrual irregularities

• Lifestyle counselling for adolescent and menopausal women

• Preventive heart health screening for women at risk

When Should You Consult a Gynaecologist?

You should consider visiting our Gynaecology Department if you experience:

• Irregular or painful menstrual cycles

• Heavy bleeding or prolonged periods

• Symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, mood swings, or bone pain

• Fertility or conception-related concerns

• Complications or discomfort during pregnancy

• Recurrent vaginal infections or pelvic pain

For women with diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease, gynaecological evaluation is especially important to ensure safe management during pregnancy and menopause.

Preventive and Lifestyle Focus

Our Gynaecology care is built on awareness and prevention. We focus on:

• Educating women about menstrual health and fertility

• Promoting safe pregnancy practices and early detection of risks

• Guiding women through lifestyle changes to reduce obesity and diabetes risks

• Empowering women during menopause with advice on bone and heart health

• Encouraging regular screenings for cervical and breast cancer

Since many of these conditions are linked to cardiovascular health, preventive care is always combined with cardiology awareness.

A Patient’s Journey – Pregnancy and Cardiac Awareness

A young woman comes to Cardea with gestational diabetes. Alongside pregnancy monitoring, she undergoes a preventive cardiac evaluation. Early detection shows elevated cholesterol and mild hypertension, which are managed before they lead to complications. After delivery, she continues regular follow-ups to protect her heart health for the future.

This integrated care pathway demonstrates how Cardea Gynaecology and Cardiology work together to ensure the well-being of both mother and child.
