6 years ago, 'famous' oncologist, Dr Rahul Roy Chowdhury misdiagnosed my now-deceased grandmother for cancerous tumours. He performed several tests as well as a uterus removal operation at AMRI Hospital costing over 1 lakh rupees. However, after the operation, the full biopsy report revealed that my grandmother had no cancerous tumours! Infact, she only had cysts! A cyst removal surgery was disguised as a tumour removal surgery and charged as a tumour removal surgery! I honestly don't recommend Dr Rahul as a doctor. I don't think he even apologised to my family for the misdiagnosis.

He is the most humble doctor I have ever meet . Paitent will get 50% recover after communicating with him .Even most experienced doctor .Now a days most of the doctor will never say anything without looking at reports . He had done biopsy of my mother and came out saying "I don't think their is any problem" . This positive gesture help us to deal with the waiting period of report and we also stay positive during that time . Also report came as expected "Negative". I recommend to all the patient dealing with gyno problem .

Gynaecological Cancers

What are Gynaecological Cancers?

There are five gynaecological cancers – womb, ovarian, cervical, vaginal and vulval – but awareness levels of these cancers are very low.There are common signs and symptoms across some of the gynaecological cancers such as abnormal vaginal bleeding. Other signs are less obvious, and could be due to different health conditions, for example abdominal bloating can indicate Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Prevention of Gynecological cancers

Women can reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer in many ways; however, there is no prevention method for the disease. All women are at risk because ovarian cancer does not strike only one ethnic or age group. A healthcare professional can help a woman identify ways to reduce her risk as well as decide if consultation with a genetic counselor is appropriate.

Uterine Cancer

Some factors which increase the chances of a woman having uterine cancer.The most common symptom of uterine cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding. It may start as a watery, blood-streaked flow that gradually contains more blood. After menopause, any vaginal bleeding is abnormal.

Vulval cancer

It is the skin that surrounds the outside of the vagina, between the legs of a woman.This cancer is sometimes diagnosed on examination during another procedure. Symptoms of vulval cancer include vulval itching, irritation or pain. Women may also notice a lump, bleeding or discharge

Ovarian Cancer

It is the 4th commonest cancer in women in India, though world wide it ranks 7th. It is a growth of abnormal malignant cells that begins in the ovaries or fallopian tubes. Malignant cancer cells in the ovaries can spread in two ways: directly to other organs in the pelvis and abdomen
