Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the questions patients in Amravati and Vidarbha ask us most — about fertility, gynecology, surgery, pregnancy, appointments and costs.

IVF & Fertility Treatments

What fertility treatments are available at Shubham Hospitals in Amravati?

We offer a full range of fertility care — from basic evaluation and ovulation induction to IUI, IVF and ICSI. Care is personalised after assessing both partners, so couples receive the least invasive treatment likely to work for them.

When should a couple see a fertility specialist?

Generally after 12 months of trying without success, or after 6 months if the woman is over 35. See a specialist sooner if there are irregular periods, known PCOS or endometriosis, previous pelvic surgery, or a history of miscarriage.

What is the difference between IUI, IVF and ICSI?

IUI places prepared sperm directly in the uterus. IVF fertilises eggs and sperm in the lab and transfers an embryo. ICSI injects a single sperm into each egg and is used mainly for male-factor infertility. Your doctor advises which suits you.

Does male infertility get tested too?

Yes. Roughly half of infertility involves a male factor, so a semen analysis is part of the initial workup. Further tests and treatment for the male partner are arranged when needed, alongside the woman’s evaluation.

Is IVF painful, and how long does one cycle take?

Most steps cause mild discomfort rather than pain. A typical IVF cycle runs about two to three weeks from the start of stimulation to embryo transfer, followed by a pregnancy test around two weeks later. Your team explains each step in advance.

What affects the success of IVF?

The main factors are the woman’s age, egg and sperm quality, the underlying cause of infertility, and overall health. Success cannot be guaranteed, so we give realistic, individualised expectations after your assessment.

Gynecology & Women’s Health

What gynecology services does Shubham Hospitals provide?

We cover routine check-ups, menstrual and hormonal problems, PCOS, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, infections, menopause care and cosmetic gynecology — with medical and advanced surgical options under one roof.

How do I know if I have PCOS?

Common signs include irregular or missed periods, acne, unwanted hair growth, weight changes and difficulty conceiving. Diagnosis uses your history, an ultrasound and blood tests. PCOS is manageable, so an early consultation helps.

Why are my periods so painful?

Some cramping is normal, but severe or worsening pain can point to conditions like endometriosis, fibroids or adenomyosis. If period pain disrupts daily life or is getting worse, it is worth having it evaluated rather than enduring it.

What is cosmetic and aesthetic gynecology?

These are procedures that address comfort, function and appearance of the intimate area — often after childbirth or with age. All options are discussed confidentially, with realistic guidance on what is medically appropriate for you.

How often should women have a gynecology check-up?

A yearly check-up is a good general guideline for adult women, and sooner if you notice new symptoms. Regular visits help catch conditions like fibroids, cysts or cervical changes early, when they are easiest to treat.

Laparoscopy & Advanced Surgery

What is 3D laparoscopy and why does it matter?

Shubham Hospitals uses one of Amravati district’s most advanced 3D laparoscopy systems. Unlike 2D, 3D gives surgeons true depth perception — meaning greater precision, shorter operating times, less blood loss and faster recovery for patients.

What is the difference between laparoscopic and open surgery?

Laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) uses small incisions and a camera, so most patients have less pain, smaller scars and a quicker return to normal life than with open surgery. Not every case is suitable — your surgeon advises the safest approach.

Which conditions can be treated with laparoscopy and hysteroscopy?

Common ones include fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, adhesions and complex hysterectomies, plus diagnostic and corrective procedures inside the uterus via hysteroscopy. Suitability is confirmed after examination and imaging.

How long is recovery after laparoscopic surgery?

Many patients go home within a day or two and resume light activity within a week, though this varies with the procedure and the individual. Your team gives specific after-care instructions and follow-up timing.

General Surgery & Surgical Gastroenterology

What general and gastrointestinal surgeries does Shubham Hospitals perform?

We treat common surgical conditions such as gallbladder stones, hernias, appendicitis, piles and fistula, and other abdominal and digestive-system problems — using minimally invasive (keyhole) techniques wherever suitable, plus emergency surgical care.

Do gallbladder stones always need surgery?

Not always. Stones causing pain, infection or other symptoms are usually advised for removal, while some silent stones may just be monitored. A surgeon reviews your scans and symptoms before recommending surgery — it is an individual decision.

Can gallbladder and hernia operations be done by keyhole surgery?

Yes. Most gallbladder removals and many hernia repairs are done laparoscopically through small incisions, which usually means less pain, smaller scars and a faster return to daily life than open surgery. Suitability is confirmed after assessment.

What is surgical gastroenterology?

It is the surgical treatment of digestive-system organs — including the gallbladder, appendix, intestines, and related conditions. It combines careful diagnosis with minimally invasive surgery where possible, so recovery is quicker and safer.

When is chronic heartburn or acid reflux something to get checked?

Occasional heartburn is common, but reflux that is frequent, persistent or not settling with usual measures should be evaluated, as it can point to GERD or other conditions. Most cases are managed with lifestyle and medication; surgery is rarely needed.

Is emergency surgery available if needed?

Yes. We provide 24x7 emergency surgical care for acute problems such as appendicitis and other abdominal emergencies. Call our main number any time and our team will guide you on what to do next.

Pregnancy, Maternity & Fetal Medicine

What maternity and pregnancy care do you offer?

We provide complete antenatal care, safe delivery, high-risk pregnancy management, and fetal medicine including detailed scans. Care is planned around each mother’s needs, with 24x7 support for emergencies.

What does a high-risk pregnancy mean?

It means the pregnancy needs closer monitoring due to factors such as age, high blood pressure, diabetes, twins, or a previous complication. With the right care most high-risk pregnancies have healthy outcomes.

Which pregnancy scans do I need and when?

Typical scans include an early dating scan, an NT scan around 11–14 weeks, an anomaly scan around 18–22 weeks, and growth scans later on. Your doctor tailors the schedule to your pregnancy.

What is an anomaly scan and why is it important?

The anomaly (or level-2) scan, done around 18–22 weeks, checks the baby’s organs and development in detail. It helps detect concerns early so care can be planned. Our fetal medicine team performs and explains these scans.

Do you offer care during the monsoon and for seasonal risks?

Yes. We advise expectant mothers on staying safe through the monsoon and other seasonal risks, and remain available round the clock for any urgent concern during pregnancy.
