Obstetrics and Gynaecology

What is Obstetrics & Gynaecology (OBG)?

A Simple Explanation for Patients
Obstetrics & Gynaecology is the medical specialty that focuses on women’s reproductive health, pregnancy, and childbirth. Obstetrics handles care during pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal recovery, while gynaecology manages menstrual issues, hormonal concerns, fertility problems, and diseases affecting reproductive organs. At Manipal Hospitals, a best maternity hospital and best gynaecology hospital, patients receive complete and personalised care at every stage of womanhood.

Why is OBG Care Needed?

Women often require OBG care for reproductive health issues, pregnancy-related concerns, hormonal changes, and age-specific conditions. Regular check-ups and timely treatment ensure better fertility health, safer pregnancies, and early detection of gynaecological disorders. Many women also seek advanced surgical or minimally invasive procedures to treat fibroids, cysts, infections, or structural abnormalities. Access to specialised OBG care is crucial for long-term well-being.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Step-by-Step Breakdown

The process varies by treatment but generally includes evaluation, anaesthesia, and the procedure itself—ranging from 30 minutes to several hours. For deliveries, maternal and foetal monitoring is continuous, ensuring safety. After the procedure, you will be moved to a recovery room for observation before shifting to your ward. Hospital stay may range from a few hours for minor procedures to 2–3 days for major surgeries or childbirth.

Recovery After OBG Treatment

Recovery depends on the type of procedure. Most minimally invasive surgeries allow walking within hours and discharge within 1–2 days. Postnatal recovery includes rest, lactation support, and gradual activity resumption. Patients are given personalised instructions on wound care, medication, and diet. International patients can use teleconsultations for follow-up and receive travel fitness certificates before flying home.

Risks & Complications

• Infection at the surgical site
• Bleeding or anaesthesia-related reactions
