Laparoscopy is actually one of the most effective treatments for many causes of infertility. It helps diagnose and treat conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, adhesions, and blocked fallopian tubes with precision and minimal damage to surrounding tissues — improving the chances of natural conception.

Modern minimally invasive surgery is designed to preserve fertility, not harm it.

Fasting during pregnancy is a personal decision and should always be discussed with your doctor. Your health and your baby’s wellbeing come first.

Precautions to follow:
• Stay well hydrated between Iftar and Suhoor
• Eat balanced, nutrient-rich meals with protein, fruits, and complex carbs
• Avoid spicy food to prevent acidity & vomiting
• Get adequate rest and avoid overexertion
• Monitor for warning signs like dizziness, weakness, reduced baby movements, or contractions
• Consult your doctor before fasting, especially in high-risk pregnancies

Wishing you a peaceful, healthy, and blessed Ramadan.

Nothing compares to the joy of seeing a mother return after delivery, holding her baby in her arms. That moment — filled with gratitude, relief, and happiness — is the reason we do what we do. Their smile is truly all we care about.
And when patients take a moment to share their appreciation, it becomes a powerful source of motivation for us to continue giving our best every single day.

Diagnostic ultrasound used in pregnancy is safe and does NOT cause miscarriage.

Ultrasound works using sound waves — not radiation. It is a vital tool to confirm viability, check fetal growth, assess placental position, monitor amniotic fluid, and detect any early concerns. Regular, medically indicated scans actually help protect both mother and baby by ensuring timely intervention when needed.

Avoiding recommended scans due to fear can delay important diagnosis and care.

Trust science. Trust evidence-based care.

Fact: Infections like HPV can still occur—even without symptoms.

Regular screening and using protection are key to safeguarding your sexual health, no matter how long you’ve been with your partner.

Awareness is protection.

Urinary leakage after delivery is common and nothing to be embarrassed about.
In most women, it improves with time and regular Kegel exercises that strengthen pelvic floor muscles.

However, if urinary leakage persists beyond 3 months, it’s important to consult a gynecologist for proper evaluation and treatment. Early care can prevent long-term discomfort and improve quality of life.
