Women of all ages are affected by pelvic issues, gynecological problems, and vaginal discomfort. These conditions, ranging from pelvic pain to fertility challenges, can disrupt daily life and cause discomfort. Younger women may struggle with reproductive health issues like PCOS and endometriosis, while menopausal women face challenges such as vaginal atrophy and pelvic organ prolapse. Unfortunately, societal taboos often prevent women from seeking timely medical help for these concerns. A holistic approach that considers both physical and emotional well-being is essential for addressing these problems. Regular screenings, open communication with healthcare professionals, and lifestyle changes can effectively manage these issues. Ankura Hospitals in Pune has established a specialized facility to create a supportive environment where women can freely discuss their health worries without judgment or stigma. This initiative aims to promote early detection and improve women’s overall well-being.

Dr. Pankaj Sarode, Consultant Pelvic Reconstructive Surgeon at Ankura Hospital Pune, highlighted the integration of pelvic reconstructive surgery, cosmetic gynaecology, and advanced paediatric critical care in one center. The facility offers specialized clinics for women of all ages, including the Well Women Clinic, PCOS Clinic, Menopause Clinic, and advanced laparoscopy surgery. With expertise in treating ovarian, vaginal, cervical, uterine, and vulvar cancers, the center emphasizes minimally invasive procedures like advanced laparoscopy for conditions such as endometriosis, ensuring faster recovery and fewer complications. The inclusion of the V note procedure underscores their commitment to cutting-edge treatments for pelvic floor disorders, providing safe surgical options to address health concerns with minimal pain and morbidity. Dr. Sarode also emphasized the importance of addressing menopause-related health issues like diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular problems, as well as addressing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in younger women, to support overall well-being through nutrition, exercise, and mental wellness.

Dr. Chinmay Joshi, Head of Pediatric Intensive Care unit and Medical Director of Ankura Pune, emphasized the Pediatric Critical Care Unit’s dedication to providing specialized care for critically ill children. Equipped with advanced technology and offering continuous monitoring and interventions, the unit ensures timely and personalized care. A standout feature of Ankura Hospital’s Pediatric Critical Care Unit is its collaborative approach to treatment, involving intensive care physicians, pediatric surgeons, and child psychologists working together to address all aspects of a child’s health needs. Dr. Joshi praised the unit for setting a high standard in healthcare delivery through its commitment to excellence.

Dr. Madhulika Singh, a Senior Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist at Ankura Hospital in Pune, explains that cosmetic gynecology focuses on maintaining or improving the visual appeal of the vulva and vaginal area through procedures like hymenoplasty, vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, hoodectomy, and monsplasty.
