Expert Major & Minor Gynaecological Surgical Care in Mulund West, Mumbai

Diagnosis Before Surgery

Dr. Bakre follows a structured diagnostic process before recommending any surgical procedure:

1. Detailed medical history and symptom discussion
2. Physical and pelvic examination
3. Ultrasound (transabdominal or transvaginal, as needed)
4. Blood tests, including hormone levels where relevant
5. Additional imaging such as MRI, if the case requires more clarity
6. Second opinion or referral, when appropriate

Surgery is discussed only once the diagnosis is clear and other treatment options have been considered.

Treatment Process

While every surgical plan is tailored to the individual, the general process includes:

1. Initial consultation – discussing symptoms and reviewing prior reports
2. Diagnostic workup – confirming the condition through tests and imaging
3. Treatment discussion – explaining surgical and non-surgical options, along with risks and benefits
4. Pre-surgical preparation – fitness tests and anesthesia clearance
5. The procedure itself – performed at the appropriate hospital setting
6. Post-operative care – monitoring recovery before discharge
7. Follow-up visits – tracking healing and addressing any concerns

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed:

• Minor procedures like D&C or hysteroscopy usually allow patients to resume light activity within a day or two
• Major surgeries like hysterectomy or myomectomy typically need a longer recovery period, often a few weeks, depending on whether it was done laparoscopically or through an open approach
• Pain management, wound care instructions, and activity restrictions are explained clearly before discharge
• Follow-up appointments help track healing and catch any complications early

Patients are encouraged to attend all scheduled follow-ups rather than skipping them once symptoms improve.
