Puberty brings a lot of change in a short time. Periods begin, the body changes shape, skin breaks out and moods can swing from one day to the next. Girls, and their mothers, are often unsure what is normal and what needs a doctor. At Venus Women’s Wellness Clinic in Wakad, you can ask those questions in a calm, private space.
What we help with
Most visits are about periods: when they should start, why they come irregularly, why they hurt so much or why they are so heavy. Girls also come to us for acne, sudden weight gain, unwanted hair growth, tiredness, low haemoglobin and exam stress. Sometimes the worry is the opposite: no periods by 15, or breasts that have not begun to develop.
Usually the answer is reassuring. And when something does need attention, such as anaemia, a thyroid problem or early signs of PCOD, it is far easier to manage when it is found in the teenage years.
How the two sciences work together
Dr. Madhavi Tayade is a Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician who practises “The Modern and Ayurveda Way”. On the modern side, she checks growth and puberty stage, orders blood tests or an abdominal ultrasound only when they will help, and treats heavy bleeding or anaemia with standard medicines.
The Ayurvedic side starts with Nadi Parikshan, which tells her about your daughter’s constitution. From there come practical tips on food, sleep and daily routine. Simple yoga and breathing practices may help with cramps and mood, and gentle herbal support is added where suitable, under medical supervision. A medicine that is genuinely needed is never set aside, and nothing is given that does not suit her age.
When to book a visit
Book an appointment if your daughter’s periods are very painful or keep her home from school, if bleeding lasts more than seven days or soaks a pad every hour or two, if her cycles are more than three months apart, or if her periods have not started by 15. Worries about acne, weight or hair growth are reason enough too. If she has very heavy bleeding with dizziness or fainting, go to the nearest hospital or call 108.
A comfortable first visit
It is common to feel nervous before a first gynaecology visit. Most girls do not need an internal examination. The visit is mainly a conversation, a general check-up and a plan. Mothers are welcome to sit in, and your daughter can also have a few minutes to speak privately if she wishes.
If your daughter has questions about her periods or her changing body, we would be glad to meet you both. Call us or book a visit with Dr. Madhavi Tayade at our clinic in Wakad.
