Dr. Mahua Bhattacharya – Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in Kolkata

Dr. Mahua Bhattacharya is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist associated with Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata. She provides medical care for women experiencing reproductive health concerns and pregnancy-related conditions, with clinical interests in PCOD, high-risk pregnancy management and gynaecological laparoscopic surgery.

Dr. Mahua Bhattacharya holds an MBBS from the University of Calcutta and an MD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from the University of Sambalpur. Her medical background supports the assessment and management of women's reproductive health conditions, including menstrual and ovarian disorders and pregnancy-related concerns.

One of her documented areas of interest is Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), a hormonal and metabolic condition that may affect menstrual regularity, ovulation and reproductive health. Evaluation can involve reviewing menstrual history, clinical symptoms and appropriate investigations before developing a management plan.

Dr. Bhattacharya also has a clinical interest in high-risk pregnancy care. Such pregnancies may require closer medical monitoring because of maternal health conditions, pregnancy complications or factors affecting fetal development. Obstetric care involves ongoing assessment, suitable investigations and coordinated planning according to the needs of the mother and baby.

Another area of her practice is gynaecological laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical approach used for selected conditions affecting the female reproductive system. The suitability of laparoscopic treatment depends on the patient's diagnosis, general health, reproductive goals and the expected benefits and risks of surgery.

Patients seeking obstetric consultations, pregnancy-related care, PCOD evaluation or advice about gynaecological surgery in Kolkata can consult Dr. Mahua Bhattacharya at Fortis Hospital, Anandapur. Consultation availability and the specific procedures currently performed should be confirmed directly with the hospital.

PCOD and PCOS Management

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are terms commonly used when discussing hormonal and ovarian concerns. PCOS may cause irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth and ovulation difficulties. Management depends on symptoms, metabolic health and reproductive goals and may include lifestyle measures and medicines.

High-Risk Pregnancy Management

High-risk pregnancy care involves closer monitoring when maternal, fetal or pregnancy-related factors increase the possibility of complications. Management may include additional consultations, investigations, fetal monitoring and coordinated specialist care. The purpose is to identify potential problems early and develop an appropriate plan for pregnancy and delivery.

Pregnancy Care and Antenatal Consultation

Antenatal care provides ongoing medical assessment throughout pregnancy. Consultations may include maternal health checks, review of fetal development, appropriate screening tests and advice on nutrition and general health. Regular monitoring helps identify pregnancy-related concerns and supports informed decisions about care and childbirth.

Gynaecological Laparoscopy

Gynaecological laparoscopy uses a camera and specialised instruments inserted through small abdominal incisions to diagnose or treat selected reproductive health conditions. It may be considered for certain ovarian cysts, pelvic disorders or other gynaecological problems. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, clinical findings and surgical risks.

Complicated Pregnancy Assessment

Complicated pregnancy assessment focuses on identifying and managing conditions that may affect maternal or fetal health. These can include pregnancy-related hypertension, gestational diabetes or other medical concerns. Management may require additional investigations, closer follow-up and coordination with relevant medical specialists.

Caesarean Delivery

Caesarean delivery is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. It may be recommended when vaginal birth presents particular risks or when complications arise during pregnancy or labour. The decision depends on obstetric assessment and discussion of benefits and possible complications.

Ovarian Cyst Evaluation

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled or other cystic structures that develop in or on an ovary. Many are harmless and resolve without surgery, while others require monitoring or treatment. Evaluation may include medical history, examination and ultrasound imaging to assess the cyst's size, appearance and associated symptoms.

Ovarian Cyst Management

Management of an ovarian cyst depends on the patient's age, symptoms, imaging findings and reproductive goals. Some cysts can be monitored, while selected cases may require surgical assessment. When an operation is indicated, the procedure is chosen according to the cyst's characteristics and the need to preserve ovarian function.

Menstrual Disorder Assessment

Menstrual disorders include irregular periods, unusually heavy bleeding, missed periods and other changes in the menstrual cycle. Assessment may involve reviewing medical history, hormonal factors and possible uterine or ovarian conditions. Treatment is selected according to the underlying cause, severity of symptoms and reproductive needs.

Dysmenorrhea Management

Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstrual periods, which may be related to normal uterine contractions or underlying conditions such as endometriosis or adenomyosis. Assessment helps determine whether additional investigations are required. Management can include pain-relief medicines, hormonal treatment and care for any identified underlying disorder.

Fertility-Conserving Gynaecological Care

Fertility-conserving gynaecological care considers treatment options that aim to preserve reproductive potential when medically appropriate. Decisions depend on the patient's condition, age, future pregnancy plans and clinical findings. Some gynaecological conditions can be managed using medicines, monitoring or selected surgical approaches.

Colposcopy Examination

Colposcopy is a diagnostic examination that allows closer inspection of the cervix, vagina and surrounding tissues, usually following certain abnormal cervical screening findings. A magnifying instrument is used, and a biopsy may be taken when necessary. The procedure helps clinicians assess areas that require further investigation.

Uterine Fibroid Assessment

Uterine fibroids are usually benign growths arising from the muscle of the uterus. They may cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort or pressure symptoms, although some produce no symptoms. Assessment often includes clinical evaluation and ultrasound imaging, with treatment guided by symptoms, fibroid characteristics and fertility preferences.

Pregnancy-Related Hypertension Assessment

Hypertension during pregnancy requires careful evaluation because certain conditions, including pre-eclampsia, can affect maternal and fetal health. Assessment may include blood pressure monitoring, urine testing and laboratory investigations. Treatment and delivery planning depend on the severity of the condition and stage of pregnancy.
