Looking for a lady doctor in Erode? Dr. Jayanthi Prabakaran offers private, respectful care for women of every age, from adolescence to menopause, using modern, minimally invasive techniques wherever possible.

Conditions we diagnose and treat

Irregular, heavy or painful periods

A cycle shorter than 21 or longer than 35 days, very heavy bleeding, or pain that stops you from your daily work should be checked. Common causes are hormonal imbalance, PCOS, thyroid problems, fibroids and polyps.

PCOS / PCOD

Irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth and weight gain, and trouble conceiving.

PCOS treatment

Fibroids

Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy periods, pelvic pressure or trouble conceiving. Many can be treated by keyhole surgery when needed.

Fibroids and cysts: treatment

Ovarian cysts

Fluid-filled sacs on the ovary. Many are harmless and settle on their own, while some need monitoring or surgery.

Fibroids and cysts: treatment

White discharge and vaginal infections

Some discharge is normal. Itching, a bad smell, burning or a change in colour can point to an infection that is easily treated.

Pelvic pain and endometriosis

Long-lasting pelvic pain or very painful periods can be due to endometriosis or pelvic infection and deserve a proper check.

Cervical screening

A Pap smear or HPV test can find changes in the cervix early. Ask when you should start and how often to repeat it.

Menopause care

Hot flushes, poor sleep, mood changes and irregular periods around the age of 45 to 55 can be eased with the right guidance.

Family planning

Counselling on safe, affordable contraception, including pills, IUDs, injections and permanent methods.

Adolescent health

Gentle guidance for teenagers on periods, period pain, hygiene and HPV vaccination.

When should you see a gynaecologist?

  • Your periods are very irregular, or you have missed periods for three months and you are not pregnant
  • Your periods are very heavy, last longer than a week or are very painful
  • You bleed between periods, after sex, or after menopause
  • You have pelvic pain, unusual discharge, itching or a bad smell
  • You feel a lump or swelling in your lower tummy
  • You have been trying to conceive for 12 months (6 months if you are 35 or older)
  • You are planning a pregnancy, or want advice on contraception
  • You have symptoms of menopause, or want a routine check-up and screening

Bleeding after menopause should always be checked by a doctor, even if it is light or happens only once.

Cervical screening and HPV vaccination

Cervical cancer is largely preventable. Regular screening with a Pap smear or HPV test can find changes early, when treatment is simple, and the HPV vaccine protects against the virus that causes most cervical cancers. Ask Dr. Jayanthi Prabakaran when you should begin screening, how often to repeat it, and whether you or your daughter should have the HPV vaccine.

Menopause and perimenopause care

Menopause, when periods have stopped for 12 months, usually happens between 45 and 55. The years before it (perimenopause) can bring irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes, vaginal dryness and loss of bone strength.

Care is individual. It can include lifestyle changes, calcium and vitamin D, medicines for specific symptoms and, for some women, hormone therapy after a careful check. Do not ignore heavy bleeding, or bleeding after menopause.

Family planning and contraception

The right method depends on your age, health, family size and preferences. We offer personalised, affordable counselling on options such as pills, copper and hormonal IUDs, injections, condoms and permanent methods like tubal ligation, as well as emergency contraception. After delivery, we help you plan the gap before your next pregnancy.

A lady doctor you can talk to

Many women put off seeing a gynaecologist because they feel shy or worried. Dr. Jayanthi Prabakaran offers respectful, private consultations, explains everything in plain language and discusses costs upfront. Dr. Jayanthi also shares women’s health videos in Tamil every day on YouTube, so you can learn at home before you visit.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Which doctor should I see for period problems?
A gynaecologist. Irregular, heavy, painful or missed periods are all common reasons to visit, and most causes are treatable.
Is it normal to have irregular periods?
Cycles can vary, especially in teenagers and near menopause. But cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, missed periods, or very heavy bleeding should be checked, because PCOS, thyroid problems and fibroids are common causes.
Do I need an appointment?
You can book on WhatsApp or by phone at 97505 11225, or walk in during clinic hours (Mon – Sat, 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM). For emergencies we are open 24 hours a day. If you cannot travel, you can also talk to the doctor online (₹499, up to 15 minutes, in the evening).
When should a girl first visit a gynaecologist?
There is no fixed age. A visit is a good idea if periods have not started by 15, are very painful or heavy, or if you or your parents have concerns. A gynaecologist can also advise on HPV vaccination.
Is my consultation private?
Yes. Your consultation and medical information are kept private and secure.
Do you treat fibroids and ovarian cysts?
Yes. Many can be treated with medicines or simply monitored, and when surgery is needed, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery is often possible. Dr. Jayanthi Prabakaran will advise what is best for you. Read more about fibroids and ovarian cysts.
