Women's Wellness: Menstrual Health, PCOS & Menopause in Kolhapur

Led by Dr. Bharati Abhyankar (37+ years) and Dr. Tanvi Hirekerur-Abhyankar — preventive care, regular screening and clear guidance for women at every stage of life.

A woman's health changes through her life — from the first period in the teens, through the childbearing years, to menopause and beyond. Too many women put up with problems for years because they feel embarrassed to ask or assume the problem is "normal". Our women's wellness care is a safe, unhurried place to ask anything, get checked regularly and stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to them.

What We Help With

  • Menstrual Health — irregular, heavy, painful or missed periods, and guidance for girls starting their periods.
  • PCOD / PCOS Management — treatment of irregular cycles, acne, weight gain and fertility concerns linked to polycystic ovaries.
  • Menopause Management — relief from hot flushes, mood and sleep changes, and care of bone and heart health after menopause.
  • Contraceptive Counselling — honest advice on family-planning options so you can choose what suits you.
  • Regular Screening — Pap smear and cervical screening, breast awareness and routine health checks.

Do Not Ignore These Signs

Our health guides on the menstrual cycle, menstruation for growing girls and heavy or irregular periods explain what is normal and when to see a doctor.

  • Periods that are very heavy, very painful or that stop for two to three months
  • Bleeding between periods, after intercourse or after menopause
  • Unusual discharge, pelvic pain or a lump in the breast
  • Sudden weight gain, excess hair growth or acne along with irregular periods

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PCOD/PCOS and can it be treated?

PCOD/PCOS is a common hormonal condition that can cause irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, weight gain and difficulty conceiving. It cannot always be "cured", but symptoms can be controlled very well with lifestyle changes and, where needed, medicines.

When should I see a doctor about my periods?

See a gynaecologist if your cycle is shorter than 24 or longer than 35 days, if the flow is very heavy or lasts longer than about six days, if periods are very painful or stop for two to three months, or if you bleed between periods or after menopause.

Is menopause treatment always needed?

No. Menopause is a natural stage, and many women need only advice on diet, exercise, calcium and vitamin D. If symptoms such as hot flushes or sleep problems affect your life, we discuss safe options and review whether any treatment is right for you.

Is women's health care covered by insurance?

Routine check-ups and consultations are often not covered, but treatment that needs admission may be, depending on your policy. Purva Hospital offers hassle-free cashless claims with providers including New India Assurance, National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and Aditya Birla — our billing team assists throughout.
