Dr. Chitra Sundrarajan MD., Obs & Gyn

Gynecology is a branch of medicine focused on the female reproductive system’s health and well-being. It encompasses various aspects of women’s health, including reproductive health, menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Gynecologists, medical professionals specializing in this field, diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions and disorders affecting the reproductive organs, such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and breasts.

These specialists provide essential services like pelvic exams, Pap smears, and breast exams to screen for cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer. They also offer contraceptive counseling, family planning services, and infertility treatments to help women manage their reproductive health effectively. Additionally, gynecologists diagnose and treat conditions like menstrual disorders, pelvic pain, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Furthermore, gynecologists play a crucial role in maternal-fetal medicine, providing prenatal care to pregnant women and overseeing childbirth. They monitor fetal development, address maternal health concerns, and ensure safe deliveries for both mother and baby. Gynecologists also offer postpartum care to support women during the recovery period after childbirth. Overall, gynecology is instrumental in promoting women’s health and addressing the unique healthcare needs of individuals throughout their reproductive years and beyond.
