Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet
Choosing where to deliver your baby or where to get a gynaecological surgery is one of the most personal decisions a woman makes. It comes down to trust in the doctor, confidence that the hospital can handle complications if they arise, and whether the overall experience feels safe and cared for. At Vivekananda Hospital, this department has two senior gynaecologists with a combined experience of over 40 years and more than 9,000 deliveries between them. Dr. Shalini B is an MBBS Gold Medalist with 5,000+ deliveries and training in laparoscopic gynaecology. Dr. P. Padmaja has 30+ years of experience and 4,000+ deliveries. The hospital has a Level 2 NICU for babies who need care after birth, a 24/7 emergency OT for urgent C-sections, and an anaesthesia team that can set up an epidural for painless delivery. Normal delivery starts from Rs. 45,000 and C-section from Rs. 65,000.
Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Vivekananda Hospital
This department handles two things. The obstetrics side takes care of pregnant women from the first antenatal visit through delivery and postnatal recovery. The gynaecology side deals with conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and reproductive system, whether or not the patient is pregnant. Both are managed by two senior gynaecologists who have been delivering babies and performing surgeries for decades.
Dr. Shalini B leads the department. She earned a Gold Medal in MBBS, completed her DGO from Osmania Medical College (which is the oldest and most respected OB-GYN training programme in Telangana), did her DNB in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and added a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery. She has personally managed over 5,000 deliveries. That number matters because the more deliveries a doctor has handled, the better they are at reading the situation during labour: knowing when to wait, when to intervene, and when an emergency C-section is needed. She also performs laparoscopic hysterectomy, fibroid removal, and ovarian cyst surgery.
Dr. P. Padmaja brings over 30 years of experience and more than 4,000 deliveries. She completed her MBBS and MD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Her three decades of practice mean she has seen every variation of pregnancy complication, every type of gynaecological condition, and has the clinical judgment that only comes from managing thousands of patients over a long career. She is available six mornings a week.
The hospital has a Level 2 NICU managed by the paediatrics and neonatology team, which means premature babies, low birth weight newborns, and babies who need phototherapy, respiratory support, or feeding assistance are cared for in the same building. The OT runs 24/7 for emergency deliveries. The anaesthesia team is on call for epidurals (painless delivery) and for emergency C-sections at any hour. Blood bank access for emergency transfusions is available. And because this is a multispecialty hospital, if a pregnant woman has a heart condition, kidney problem, thyroid disorder, or any other medical issue, the relevant specialist is in the same building.
Obstetric and Gynaecological Conditions
Obstetrics (Pregnancy and Delivery)
Gynaecology
Obstetric and Gynaecological Services
Obstetric Services (Pregnancy and Delivery)
Normal Vaginal Delivery
Natural delivery with continuous foetal heart monitoring and experienced nursing support. Both gynaecologists encourage normal delivery whenever it is safe for the mother and baby. The decision between normal and C-section is made based on clinical assessment, not convenience. Over 9,000 combined deliveries give our doctors the experience to make this call accurately.
C-Section (Caesarean Delivery)
Elective and emergency caesarean section under spinal or general anaesthesia. The OT is equipped and staffed 24/7, so an emergency C-section can start within minutes of the decision being made. For planned C-sections, the date and anaesthesia type are discussed in advance. The paediatrician is present at every C-section to receive the baby.
Painless Delivery (Epidural)
Labour pain management with epidural anaesthesia. The anaesthetist places a thin tube in the lower back during active labour, and medication is delivered continuously to numb the pain while allowing the mother to stay awake and push when needed. Not every patient is a candidate, so the gynaecologist and anaesthetist assess eligibility before administration.
High-Risk Pregnancy Management
Pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, placenta previa, previous C-section, twins, Rh incompatibility, maternal age over 35, or pregnancies with coexisting conditions like thyroid disorders or heart disease need closer monitoring and planning. Both doctors have managed high-risk pregnancies for years, and the hospital's ICU, NICU, and blood bank access provide the safety net these cases demand.
Antenatal Care (Pregnancy Check-ups)
Regular prenatal visits from the first trimester through delivery. Each visit includes weight and blood pressure monitoring, urine tests, blood tests at appropriate intervals, ultrasound scans for foetal growth tracking, and discussion of any symptoms or concerns. The goal is to catch problems early and keep both mother and baby healthy throughout the pregnancy.
Postnatal Care
After delivery, the mother is monitored for recovery, wound healing (in case of C-section or episiotomy), breastfeeding support, and postpartum complications like excessive bleeding or infection. The newborn is assessed by the paediatrician, vaccinations are started, and hearing screening is done before discharge.
Gynaecological Surgeries
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Removal of the uterus through 3 to 4 small puncture holes in the abdomen. Dr. Shalini B has a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery and performs this procedure regularly. Recovery is faster, hospital stay is shorter, and scarring is minimal compared to open surgery. Done for fibroids, heavy bleeding, adenomyosis, and other conditions where the uterus needs removal.
Open and Vaginal Hysterectomy
For cases where laparoscopy is not suitable, such as very large uteruses, dense adhesions from previous surgery, or certain cancers, open abdominal hysterectomy or vaginal hysterectomy is performed. The approach is chosen based on the clinical situation, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Fibroid Surgery (Myomectomy)
Removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. This is the preferred approach for women who want to keep their uterus for future pregnancy. Done laparoscopically or through open surgery depending on the size, number, and location of the fibroids.
Ovarian Cyst Removal
Laparoscopic cystectomy for dermoid cysts, endometriotic cysts (chocolate cysts), and other ovarian cysts. The goal is to remove the cyst while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible, which matters for fertility. Functional cysts that are likely to resolve on their own are observed before surgery is considered.
Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery
An ectopic pregnancy (where the embryo implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube) is a surgical emergency. Laparoscopic removal is performed to save the tube if possible, or the tube is removed if it has ruptured. The 24/7 emergency OT means there is no delay in taking these patients to surgery.
D and C, Tubectomy, Cervical Cerclage
D and C (dilation and curettage) for incomplete miscarriage, abnormal bleeding, or endometrial evaluation. Tubectomy (tubal ligation) for permanent contraception through laparoscopy or minilaparotomy. Cervical cerclage (cervical stitch) for women with cervical incompetence to prevent preterm delivery in subsequent pregnancies.
Meet Your Gynaecologists
Dr. Shalini B
Dr. Shalini B earned a Gold Medal in MBBS, which tells you the kind of academic ability she started with. She then completed her DGO from Osmania Medical College, which has been training gynaecologists in Hyderabad for over a century. Her DNB in OB-GYN is a national board qualification, and her Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery means she has additional training in laparoscopic gynaecological procedures. She has personally managed over 5,000 deliveries, both normal and caesarean, and has extensive experience with high-risk pregnancies including gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and placenta previa. On the surgical side, she performs laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, and ectopic pregnancy surgery.
Dr. P. Padmaja
Dr. Padmaja has been practising obstetrics and gynaecology for over 30 years. She completed her MBBS and MD in OB-GYN, and has delivered more than 4,000 babies across her career. Thirty years of practice means she has handled every type of pregnancy complication and every type of gynaecological condition multiple times. That depth of pattern recognition is something that no amount of textbook knowledge can replace. She manages antenatal care, normal and complex deliveries, high-risk pregnancies, PCOS, menstrual disorders, infertility evaluation, and menopausal health. Patients who want a gynaecologist with decades of experience and a calm, steady approach to clinical decision-making find that in Dr. Padmaja.

Two Senior Gynaecologists, 9,000+ Deliveries
Dr. Shalini B (5,000+ deliveries) and Dr. Padmaja (4,000+ deliveries) together have more delivery experience than most maternity hospitals in the Begumpet area. Having two senior gynaecologists means there is always backup. If one is in the OT, the other can attend to a new patient. During complicated deliveries, both can work together.
Gold Medalist with Laparoscopic Training
Dr. Shalini B earned a Gold Medal in MBBS and has a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery. For patients who need gynaecological surgery (hysterectomy, fibroid removal, cyst removal), her laparoscopic skill means smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Level 2 NICU in the Same Building
If a baby is born premature, underweight, or needs respiratory support, the NICU is steps away from the delivery room. There is no ambulance transfer to another hospital. The neonatology team takes over immediately. This matters most in emergencies where every minute counts for the newborn.
Affordable Maternity Packages
Normal delivery from Rs. 45,000 and C-section from Rs. 65,000. Compare these with any hospital in the Ameerpet, Somajiguda, or Punjagutta area and the difference is significant. Lower price does not mean lower quality. It means lower hospital overheads. The doctors, the OT, and the care are the same standard.
24/7 Emergency OT and Anaesthesia
Labour does not follow a schedule. An emergency C-section at 3 AM needs an OT that is ready, an anaesthetist who is available, and a paediatrician who can receive the baby. All three are on call round the clock at Vivekananda Hospital. There is no waiting for morning shift to start.
CGHS and Insurance Cashless
Normal delivery and C-section are covered on cashless basis for CGHS (including pensioners), ESI, Arogyabhadratha, and over 25 private insurance companies. For families covered under CGHS, the out-of-pocket cost for delivery at Vivekananda Hospital is often zero or close to it.
