Gynaecology FAQs: Dr. Ria Katwala Solanki

Dr. Ria Katwala Solanki treats a wide range of gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PCOD/PCOS, menopause-related concerns, and gynaecological cancers. She also performs advanced laparoscopic and robotic procedures, fertility-enhancing surgery, and cervical cancer screening and treatment.

Persistent or worsening pelvic pain, pain during periods that disrupts daily activities, or pain during intercourse are all reasons to consult a gynaecologist. Chronic pelvic pain can have several underlying causes, including endometriosis or adenomyosis, and early evaluation helps identify the right treatment path.

Endometriosis can affect fertility in some patients, depending on its severity and location. Not everyone with endometriosis experiences fertility difficulties, and treatment options range from medical management to surgery, tailored to the individual.

Not all ovarian cysts require surgery — many resolve on their own or can be monitored. Treatment depends on the cyst's size, type, symptoms, and whether it persists over time, and is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Symptoms such as abnormal or postmenopausal bleeding, persistent pelvic pain, bloating, or unusual vaginal discharge should be evaluated promptly. Early evaluation is important, as these symptoms can have several causes, and timely diagnosis supports better management of gynaecological cancers such as cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancer.
