Your questions, answered

Yes. Dr. Madhavi Tayade is a Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician with more than ten years in women’s health, and she sees every patient herself.

Booking ahead keeps your wait short. Call or WhatsApp 89991 06755, or leave your number in the form and we will call you back during clinic hours.

Whatever your situation needs, and sometimes both. Dr. Madhavi explains the plan, and the reasons behind it, before you start. Please never stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Yes, and please don’t put it off out of embarrassment. A short examination usually finds the cause, and most infections settle quickly with the right treatment.

The clinic is an outpatient practice. Births are planned at a partner hospital, and Dr. Madhavi talks you through the hospital and your birth plan during antenatal visits.

Marathi, Hindi and English. You are welcome to bring a family member; we are happy to explain things to them too.

No. You can book directly by phone, WhatsApp or the form on this website.

Not necessarily. Many concerns need only a conversation, and some need tests or a sonography instead. If an examination would help, it is explained first and done only with your consent.

Allow enough time for a proper conversation. First visits are usually longer than follow-ups, so you never feel rushed.

Yes. Tell us when you book, and Dr. Madhavi will still review any reports or medicines so your plan is safe.

It can be, when one doctor plans both and knows everything you are taking. That is exactly why we do it in a single consultation. Always tell us about every medicine and supplement you use.

No. Do not stop any prescribed medicine on your own. Dr. Madhavi reviews what you are taking and explains any change before it is made.

No. Some women come only for modern gynaecology, some mainly for Ayurveda, most for a mix. You decide, after a clear explanation of the options.

Both. She is a Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician who trained in Ayurveda first and holds diplomas in Garbhasanskar, Nadi Parikshan and Infertility Management.

There is no fixed age, but a visit between 13 and 16 is helpful, or earlier if she has concerns. A first visit is mostly a conversation about periods, growth and health. An internal examination is usually not needed.

Cycles can be irregular for the first one to two years after the first period. If periods are very heavy, very painful, more than three months apart, or have not started by 15, it is worth getting checked.

Acne, weight gain and irregular periods together can sometimes point to PCOD, but they are also common in normal puberty. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will assess her history and may suggest simple tests before drawing any conclusion.

For teenagers, our Ayurvedic support is mostly diet, routine, yoga and, where suitable, gentle herbal formulations given under medical supervision. Any medicine is chosen with her age and other treatment in mind.

Yes, if she wishes. Many girls find it easier to ask questions privately. We keep the conversation confidential while involving parents in decisions that need them.

The two terms are often used interchangeably. Both describe a hormonal pattern that can cause irregular periods, acne, weight gain and cysts on the ovaries. PCOS is the term usually used when there are wider metabolic signs, such as insulin resistance.

PCOD is a long-term condition that is managed rather than switched off. Many women see their cycles, weight and symptoms improve with steady lifestyle changes and the right treatment. The aim is to keep you well over the years, not just to bring one period.

Many women with PCOD conceive, sometimes naturally and sometimes with help for ovulation. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will assess your cycles and hormones and plan ovulation support if you are trying to conceive.

No. Please do not stop any prescribed medicine on your own. At our clinic, Ayurvedic support is added alongside modern treatment under medical supervision, and any change in medicines is decided by the doctor.

For many women, even a modest loss of weight may help periods become more regular and improve insulin resistance. Instead of a crash diet, we give you a food and activity plan that fits your routine.

A normal cycle is usually between 21 and 35 days, with bleeding for two to seven days. If your cycles keep falling outside this range, vary a lot from month to month, or stop for three months or more, it is worth getting checked.

Some cramping is common, but pain that keeps you in bed, needs strong painkillers every month or is getting worse is not something you have to live with. It can sometimes be linked to conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, which can be assessed with an examination and sonography.

Changing a pad every hour or two, passing large clots, bleeding for more than seven days, or feeling tired and breathless may mean your periods are heavy. Heavy periods can lead to anaemia, so it is worth seeing a doctor.

Ayurvedic herbs, diet and yoga are traditionally used to support a regular cycle and may help many women. At our clinic, they are used alongside proper evaluation and modern treatment, under medical supervision.

If you are soaking through pads very quickly, feel faint or dizzy, or have severe pain, go to the nearest hospital or call 108. Once you are stable, we can help find the cause and plan treatment.

Yes, some white or clear discharge is normal and healthy. It changes through the month and in pregnancy. Changes in colour, smell or texture, or discharge with itching, irritation or pain, may need attention.

Recurring yeast infections can be linked to high blood sugar, antibiotics, tight or damp clothing, hormonal changes or pregnancy. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will look for the cause, not just treat each episode.

Regular douching and strongly perfumed products can upset the natural balance of the vagina and make problems worse. Plain water on the outer area is usually enough. Ask us before using any product regularly.

For discharge or infection checks, it is better to come when you are not bleeding, as blood can affect swab results. If your symptoms are severe, come anyway and we will guide you.

Of course. Vaginal health concerns can affect any woman at any age, married or not. We see every patient with respect and keep your visit confidential.

If you have been trying to conceive for a year without success, or for six months if the woman is over 35, it is a good time to get evaluated. See a doctor sooner if periods are very irregular or there is a known issue such as PCOD or endometriosis.

Yes. Male factors play a part in a significant share of couples who have difficulty conceiving. A simple semen analysis is one of the first tests we suggest.

It is a course of Ayurvedic detox and rejuvenation therapies for couples preparing for IVF. Studies and clinical experience suggest it may support implantation, uterine and sperm health, and help reduce stress. It is planned in coordination with your IVF timeline and does not replace medical treatment.

We do not perform IVF or IUI at our clinic. We carry out the evaluation, treat what can be treated, and refer you for IUI or IVF when it is the right next step, while continuing supportive care.

We do not suggest relying on Ayurveda alone. At our clinic, Ayurvedic therapies are used alongside proper medical evaluation and treatment, so that nothing important is missed.

Beej Sanskar is an Ayurvedic approach to preparing both partners before conception. 'Beej' means seed, and the idea is to support the health of the egg and sperm through diet, routine, cleansing therapies, yoga and a calm mind. It is supportive care used alongside modern preconception checks.

Ideally three to six months before you start trying. This gives time for tests, for supplements like folic acid to build up, and for diet and lifestyle changes to take effect.

Yes. Beej Sanskar is for both partners, since the health of the sperm matters as much as the health of the egg. His diet, habits, stress and any medical conditions are part of the plan.

Many women on thyroid medicine have healthy pregnancies. It is important that your levels are well controlled before conception, so Dr. Madhavi Tayade will check and adjust your treatment if needed. Please do not stop any medicine on your own.

Uttar Basti is an Ayurvedic therapy in which a small amount of medicated oil or decoction is gently given into the uterus or urinary tract. It is traditionally used for certain menstrual, uterine and fertility concerns. It is one part of a broader treatment plan.

Most women describe mild discomfort or cramping, similar to a Pap smear or a mild period cramp, which settles with rest. Dr. Madhavi Tayade explains each step before starting and you can ask to pause at any time.

It is not done during pregnancy, during your period, or when there is an active vaginal, cervical, uterine or urinary infection. It may also not be suitable for some other conditions, which is why an examination always comes first.

This depends on your condition and how your body responds. A course is usually spread over a few days after your period, and may be repeated over a few cycles. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will decide this with you after examination.

No. Uttar Basti is a supportive therapy. It may be used alongside modern fertility evaluation and treatment, but it does not replace them.

It depends on your age, health, how soon you may want a baby, how regular your periods are and what you are comfortable with. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will explain the options that suit you and you decide together.

No. Fertility usually returns soon after a Copper-T is removed. Some women have heavier periods or cramps for the first few months, which usually settle.

For most healthy women, modern pills are safe when taken under medical guidance. They are not suitable for everyone, for example some women with migraines with aura, high blood pressure or a history of clots. We check this before prescribing.

Emergency contraception works better the sooner it is taken, ideally within 72 hours. Contact us or a pharmacist quickly. It is meant for emergencies, not as a regular method.

Yes. There are safe options during breastfeeding, including Copper-T and certain pills. We usually discuss this during pregnancy or at your postnatal visit.

Book a visit as soon as your home pregnancy test is positive, or by six to eight weeks of pregnancy. Early care helps confirm the pregnancy, date it correctly and start the right supplements.

Usually once a month until about 28 weeks, every two weeks until 36 weeks, and then weekly until delivery. You may need more frequent visits if there are any concerns.

Only certain Ayurvedic preparations are suitable in pregnancy, and they should be taken under medical supervision. Dr. Madhavi Tayade chooses them carefully, to go with your modern supplements. Please do not take herbal products in pregnancy without asking your doctor.

Gentle prenatal yoga and breathing are helpful for most women with a healthy pregnancy. Some positions should be avoided, and some women need to rest more. We guide you on what suits your pregnancy.

Bleeding, leaking fluid, severe headache, blurred vision, swelling of face or hands, severe abdominal pain, fever, or reduced baby movements need urgent attention. Contact us, or go to the nearest hospital or call 108.

Garbhasanskar is a traditional Indian practice of nurturing the baby in the womb through the mother's thoughts, emotions, food and daily routine. It includes music, affirmations, stories, meditation and yoga. The aim is a calm, positive pregnancy.

You can begin at any stage of pregnancy. Many women start in the first trimester, and some begin even before conception through Beej Sanskar. It is never too late to join.

We do not make claims about a baby's intelligence or personality. What we can say is that a calmer, well-supported mother, good nutrition and a strong emotional bond are good for both of you.

Yes, and we encourage it. Partners and family members can join some practices, such as music, stories and reading to the baby, which also helps them bond.

Most of the practices, such as meditation, affirmations and music, are gentle and suitable for many women. Yoga and physical practices are adjusted or avoided depending on your condition. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will guide you.

A pregnancy may be called high-risk if there is gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, anaemia, twins, a previous caesarean or miscarriage, a low-lying placenta, or if the mother is younger than 18 or older than 35. It means you need closer care, not that something will go wrong.

Many women with a high-risk pregnancy do have a normal delivery. It depends on your condition and how the pregnancy progresses. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will discuss the safest option for you and your baby as you get closer to your due date.

Most women manage it with a diet plan, activity and regular sugar checks. Some need medicines or insulin. Good control helps protect both mother and baby.

Only specific, pregnancy-safe measures are used, and always under medical supervision. In a high-risk pregnancy, Ayurvedic support is mostly diet, gentle yoga and stress management. Your prescribed medicines must not be stopped.

If you have bleeding, severe headache, blurred vision, fits, severe abdominal pain, leaking fluid or reduced baby movements, go to the nearest hospital or call 108 straight away. Then inform us.

A painless delivery usually means a normal delivery with an epidural, a type of pain relief given through a thin tube in the lower back by an anaesthetist. It greatly reduces labour pain while you stay awake. It is given in hospital and is not suitable for every woman.

Our clinic is an outpatient clinic. Births are planned with a partner hospital, and Dr. Madhavi Tayade discusses the details and arrangements with you at consultation.

Some women can, depending on the reason for the earlier caesarean, the type of scar, the gap between pregnancies and how this pregnancy progresses. This needs careful assessment and planning in a hospital setting.

Prenatal yoga and breathing may help with strength, flexibility, posture and staying calm in labour. Many women find them helpful. They are one part of preparation, and the final decision on how to deliver is always based on safety.

Go when you have regular, painful contractions, your water breaks, you have bleeding, or your baby is moving less. We give you clear instructions as your due date approaches. In an emergency, go to the nearest hospital or call 108.

A check-up around six weeks after delivery is common, but come earlier if you have any concerns. Women who had a caesarean, complications or high blood pressure may need to be seen sooner.

Gentle walking and breathing can usually start soon after a normal delivery. Core and pelvic floor exercises are started gradually, and more active exercise usually after your postnatal check. After a caesarean, recovery takes longer. We guide you based on how you are healing.

Many mothers feel tearful or emotional in the first two weeks, often called baby blues. If low mood, anxiety or a sense of hopelessness lasts longer or feels heavy, please talk to us. Postpartum depression is common and treatable with the right support.

Traditional postnatal care in Ayurveda includes oil massage, warm nourishing food and rest. These may help with comfort and recovery. At our clinic, therapies are chosen after checking your healing, especially after a caesarean.

Heavy bleeding, fever, foul-smelling discharge, severe pain, a red and painful breast, swelling or pain in one leg, severe headache or thoughts of harming yourself or the baby need urgent help. Go to the nearest hospital or call 108.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of techniques that look at how our thoughts, words and habits shape how we feel and behave. Sessions use guided exercises to help you notice unhelpful patterns and practise new responses. It is a supportive approach for everyday stress, anxiety and confidence.

No. NLP is supportive and does not replace a psychiatrist, psychologist or prescribed medicines. If you are already on treatment, please continue it. If your symptoms need specialist care, we will help you get it.

Many women feel anxious about pregnancy, labour or becoming a mother. NLP techniques may help ease fear and build confidence, and they are gentle, non-invasive techniques that can be used in pregnancy. They are often part of our Garbhasanskar programme.

It varies. Some women find a few sessions helpful, others prefer regular support over a longer period. We decide this together based on how you feel.

Please seek help immediately. Go to the nearest hospital or call 108, or reach out to someone you trust right away. You do not have to go through this alone.

Guidelines generally suggest starting cervical screening from the age of 21 or 25 and repeating it every three to five years, depending on the test used and your results. Dr. Madhavi Tayade will advise the right schedule for you.

Most women feel only mild pressure or discomfort for a minute or two. Relaxing and breathing slowly helps. We explain each step and go at your pace.

The HPV vaccine helps protect against the types of HPV most linked to cervical cancer. It is most effective when given at a younger age, but it can still be useful for some adult women. We can discuss whether it is suitable for you.

Most breast lumps are not cancer, but every new lump should be checked by a doctor. Book an appointment soon. We will examine you and arrange a sonography or mammography if needed.

No therapy can promise to prevent cancer. A healthy diet, active lifestyle and not smoking may lower risk, and Ayurvedic routines can support this. Regular screening remains the most important step.
