Dignity throughout — fertility conversations held early, menopause managed after.
Ovarian, uterine, cervical, vulvar and gestational trophoblastic disease, operated by Dr. Patel with gynae-oncology colleagues. The plan treats the cancer; the conversation treats the woman — her future, her family plans, her comfort.
What is gynaecologic oncology?
This specialty covers cancers of the ovary, uterus (endometrium), cervix, vulva, and gestational trophoblastic disease — a rare pregnancy-related group that responds dramatically well to treatment when caught. Operations are performed with gynae-oncology colleagues as a team.
The encouraging truth: gynae cancers reward early action generously. Endometrial cancer is often cured by surgery alone; cervical cancer is preventable and treatable when found via screening; even advanced ovarian disease responds to complete cytoreduction followed by chemotherapy.
The after-menopause rule: any bleeding after menopause — any amount, any once — deserves same-month assessment. It is the single most important sentence on this page.
Eight signals that deserve a specialist’s eyes
Any of these warrants assessment rather than waiting. Most will be innocent; the ones that aren’t are exactly why we check.
- ①Bleeding after menopause — any amount, even spotting once.
- ②Bleeding between periods or unusually heavy periods.
- ③Bloating lasting more than two weeks, new and unexplained.
- ④Persistent pelvic pain that doesn’t follow the usual cycle.
- ⑤Unusual discharge — different in colour, smell or amount.
- ⑥Pain during intercourse, especially if new.
- ⑦Bloating together with pelvic pain — the combination deserves an ultrasound, not another home remedy.
- ⑧Unsure whether it’s worth checking? Send your reports on WhatsApp (+91 99783 06391) — reviewed personally before you travel.
Cancers we treat in this specialty
◆Ovarian
Including optimal cytoreduction — the completeness of which shapes survival more than anything else.
◆Uterine / Endometrial
Often cured by well-planned surgery alone; staging done laparoscopically where suitable.
◆Cervical
Radical hysterectomy (Wertheim’s) with lymphadenectomy within combined-modality pathways.
◆Vulvar
Precise resection with sentinel node techniques reducing the burden of older operations.
◆Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
Pregnancy-related tumours with among the best cure rates in all of oncology.
◆Team-Based Operating
Performed with dedicated gynae-oncology colleagues — two specialties, one plan.
Operations performed here
- ◆Staging laparotomy / laparoscopyAccurate surgical staging — the foundation every later decision stands on.
- ◆Optimal cytoreduction for ovarian cancerAiming for no visible residual disease, wherever safely achievable.
- ◆Radical hysterectomy (Wertheim’s)For cervical cancer — tissue removed precisely, structures protected.
- ◆Pelvic & para-aortic lymphadenectomyNodal clearance performed with vascular discipline.
- ◆Fertility-preserving optionsIn selected early disease — discussed before treatment begins, never assumed away.
- ◆Sentinel node techniquesFor endometrial and vulvar cancers — big answers from small, precise sampling.
From first visit to full recovery
Consultation & examination
History and examination taken properly, in your language.
Imaging & biopsy
Ultrasound, CT/MRI and tissue diagnosis coordinated quickly.
Fertility conversation first
Before decisions lock in — family plans shape the plan.
Surgery
Staging or cytoreduction performed with gynae-oncology colleagues.
Recovery & menopause care
Menopausal symptoms managed actively as part of the plan, not left to chance.
Surveillance
Structured reviews scheduled for years, not months.
Families usually ask…
Almost never — the vast majority of cysts are benign, especially in younger women. Ultrasound features and blood markers separate the worrying few from the harmless many, and we explain exactly which category you’re in.
For some early cancers, yes — fertility-preserving surgery exists and we use it where criteria allow. The fertility conversation happens before treatment starts, so nothing is decided without you.
Periods stop, and if ovaries are removed, menopause begins — but it is managed actively here: symptoms treated, bones protected, energy restored. Life after hysterectomy is full life.
Persistent HPV infection causes most cervical cancer — which makes it both preventable (vaccination, screening) and highly treatable when caught through regular checks. Prevention conversations are part of every consultation here.
Yes — menopause management after surgery is part of the pathway, not an afterthought. Options depend on your cancer type and are planned alongside oncology colleagues.
