When is an instrumental or cesarean delivery necessary, and what are the procedures involved?

Instrumental delivery might be necessary if the labor progresses slowly or if the baby is in distress. A cesarean delivery is performed when a vaginal delivery is not possible due to factors like a breech presentation, a previous C-section, or complications during labor. Dr. Sasikumar will explain the procedures and risks involved in each scenario.

Is a vaginal delivery possible after a previous cesarean delivery, and what are the factors involved in deciding?

A vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean delivery is possible under certain conditions, called VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). Dr. Sasikumar will assess your medical history, the reason for your previous C-section, and the current pregnancy to determine if a VBAC is a safe and suitable option.

How are high-risk pregnancies managed, particularly those complicated by hypertension, diabetes, anemia, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restrictions, and abnormal fetal presentations?

Dr. Sasikumar has extensive experience in managing high-risk pregnancies. She will carefully monitor your condition, adjust medications, and recommend necessary interventions based on the specific complications you face. She will work closely with you to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy.

What are the treatment options for an ectopic pregnancy, and how are they decided upon?

Ectopic pregnancies require prompt medical attention as they can be life-threatening. Depending on the severity and location of the pregnancy, medical or surgical management may be chosen. Dr. Sasikumar will discuss the available options and the risks and benefits associated with each.

What is endometriosis, and how is it diagnosed and treated?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility. Dr. Sasikumar can diagnose this condition through various tests and offer different treatment options, including hormonal therapy, surgery, and pain management.

What are the common causes of abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, and ovarian cysts, and what are the available treatment options?

Abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, and ovarian cysts can be caused by hormonal imbalances, infections, or other medical conditions. Dr. Sasikumar will conduct a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate medical or surgical treatment options.

What is a colposcopy, and when is it recommended?

A colposcopy is a procedure used to examine the cervix and vagina under magnification. It is recommended if abnormal cells are found during a Pap smear or if there are other signs of cervical abnormalities. Dr. Sasikumar will explain the procedure and the potential findings.

What is a hysteroscopy, and what conditions can it diagnose and treat?

A hysteroscopy is a procedure where a thin, lighted instrument is inserted into the uterus to view the lining and identify abnormalities. It can diagnose and treat conditions like polyps, fibroids, and uterine adhesions. Dr. Sasikumar will discuss the procedure, its benefits, and any associated risks.

What is the success rate of VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and what are the risks involved?

The success rate of VBAC varies depending on factors like the reason for the previous cesarean delivery, the position of the baby, and the overall health of the mother. Dr. Sasikumar will thoroughly discuss the risks involved, including the possibility of uterine rupture, and will make a joint decision with you based on your individual situation.
