For most women, a Pap smear is recommended every 3 years starting at age 21. Your doctor may recommend a different schedule based on your personal health history, risk factors, or previous results. Please consult Dr. Arshya for a personalized screening plan.

You should seek prompt medical attention if you experience severe or sudden pelvic pain, unexplained heavy or prolonged bleeding, unusual vaginal discharge (especially with odour or color), a significant change in your menstrual cycle, or pain during intercourse. Do not delay — early evaluation prevents complications.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age, often causing irregular periods, excess androgen, and small cysts on the ovaries. Treatment is individualised — it may include lifestyle modifications, medication for hormonal regulation, and targeted fertility support if conception is a goal.
