About

Senior Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist with 30+ years of women's healthcare

Dr. P. Padmaja is a Full-time Senior Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet. Her academic pathway combines MBBS + DGO (Diploma in Gynaecology and Obstetrics) + MS / DNB in Obstetrics and Gynaecology - the dual diploma-plus-specialty qualification pathway respected among senior OB-GYNs of her generation. With 30+ years of dedicated OB-GYN practice, her clinical range covers the complete spectrum of women's healthcare from adolescence through menopause.

Her practice anchors at Vivekananda's obstetrics and gynaecology service. Obstetrics covers pre-conception counselling, antenatal care from early pregnancy through delivery, normal vaginal deliveries, caesarean sections, post-natal care for mother and baby, and breastfeeding support. The extensive experience with thousands of deliveries across three decades brings refined clinical judgement - knowing when to intervene, when to wait, and how to manage complications when they arise. Obstetric emergency support is available 24/7 through the hospital's labour room and ICU coordination.

Gynaecological practice covers menstrual disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic infections, menopause management, and adolescent gynaecology. Surgical gynaecology includes hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, and other appropriate procedures performed at Vivekananda. For gynaecological cancer cases needing oncological surgery, coordination with Dr. Nossam Ramasubba Reddy (Visiting Surgical Oncologist at Vivekananda) is arranged. Initial infertility workup including hormonal profiles, ultrasound folliculometry, basic semen analysis coordination, and ovulation induction with standard medical management is offered at Vivekananda; for advanced assisted reproductive technology (IVF, ICSI), referral to dedicated fertility centres is coordinated since these require specialised embryology lab infrastructure.

The OB-GYN team at Vivekananda is co-led with Dr. Shalini B (Senior Consultant OB-GYN), giving families two experienced senior consultants for women's healthcare. Cross-specialty coordination is routine: Dr. Shalini Mehrotra (Senior Paediatrician and Neonatologist) provides newborn care with NICU Level 2 support; Dr. Sree Mukesh Dutta (Consultant Diabetologist, TSRSSDI General Secretary) handles gestational diabetes management; for surgical gynaecological cancer cases, Dr. Nossam Ramasubba Reddy (Surgical Oncology) is the referral. This multi-specialty integration converts routine OB-GYN visits into coordinated women's healthcare.

Thirty years of practice has taught me that obstetrics and gynaecology are as much about listening and reassurance as they are about clinical skill. Pregnancy is not a disease. Most of women's healthcare is about education, early detection, and timely action. The complications, when they come, need to be handled calmly with the right team support.

Patient Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I book an appointment with Dr. P. Padmaja?
Call +91 72079 04418 or WhatsApp the same number. OPD is Monday to Saturday, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Advance appointment is strongly recommended, especially for antenatal visits. Bring all prior reports, ultrasound scans, previous medical records, and medication details. Obstetric emergency care is available 24/7 regardless of OPD hours.
How is she different from Dr. Shalini B at Vivekananda?
Dr. P. Padmaja and Dr. Shalini B are both Senior Consultant OB-GYNs at Vivekananda, offering families a choice of experienced senior clinicians for women's healthcare. Each has her own OPD schedule and patient relationships. Both manage the full obstetrics and gynaecology spectrum, with obstetric emergency cover coordinated across the team. Patients often choose based on timing, personal comfort, and continuity - once a relationship is established with either, care continues with the same doctor.
When should I start antenatal visits?
Ideally, schedule the first antenatal visit by 6-8 weeks after the last menstrual period, once pregnancy is confirmed. Early visits allow baseline evaluation (blood tests, ultrasound dating scan, risk assessment) and timely folic acid and nutrition advice. Routine visits are typically monthly until 28 weeks, then every 2 weeks until 36 weeks, then weekly until delivery. High-risk pregnancies need more frequent visits as indicated.
Does Vivekananda offer normal delivery and C-section?
Yes, both normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section are performed at Vivekananda Hospital. The labour room has fetal heart rate monitoring (CTG), modern delivery beds, and obstetric emergency response. Pain management options including epidural analgesia can be discussed. NICU Level 2 is available for newborns needing intermediate care. The decision between normal delivery and C-section is based on medical indications, not patient preference alone; Dr. Padmaja discusses the plan at prenatal visits based on the clinical picture.
Can she manage high-risk pregnancies?
Yes, high-risk pregnancies including gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, previous C-section, recurrent pregnancy loss, and age-related risks are managed at Vivekananda. Dr. Sree Mukesh Dutta (Consultant Diabetologist) coordinates gestational diabetes management. For extremely complex high-risk situations requiring Level 3 NICU (beyond Vivekananda's Level 2 NICU scope) or foetal medicine sub-specialty, referral coordination to tertiary centres is arranged with care continuity.
Does Vivekananda offer IVF or fertility treatment?
Initial infertility evaluation (history, hormonal profile, ultrasound folliculometry, tubal patency assessment coordination) and medical management (ovulation induction with Clomiphene or Letrozole) are offered at Vivekananda. For advanced assisted reproductive technology - IVF, ICSI, egg freezing - referral to dedicated fertility centres is coordinated since these require specialised embryology lab infrastructure not available at Vivekananda. Dr. Padmaja helps couples understand the investigation pathway and guides appropriate next steps.
What gynaecological surgeries are done at Vivekananda?
Hysterectomy (uterus removal), myomectomy (fibroid removal), ovarian cystectomy, dilation and curettage (D&C), tubal ligation, and related gynaecological procedures are performed at Vivekananda. Admission is typically 1-3 days depending on the surgery. For gynaecological cancer cases needing oncological surgery (radical hysterectomy, lymph node dissection), coordination with Dr. Nossam Ramasubba Reddy (Surgical Oncology) is standard.
When should I start menopause evaluation?
Perimenopausal symptoms (irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep changes, mood changes) typically begin in the mid-40s. A gynaecology consultation is helpful at first significant symptom onset for evaluation, counselling, and management options. Post-menopausal women (12 months after last period) benefit from annual review covering bone health, cardiovascular risk, urogenital health, and general women's health screening. Hormone therapy is considered on case-by-case basis after thorough evaluation.
Should my teenage daughter see a gynaecologist?
Routine gynaecology visits typically start around age 15-18 unless there are specific concerns. Situations that warrant earlier consultation include: absent periods by age 15, severely painful periods affecting school or daily activities, very irregular cycles, suspected PCOS (acne, facial hair, weight gain, irregular cycles), or any abnormal vaginal discharge. Mother-daughter consultations allow comfortable discussion and reassurance. HPV vaccination counselling from age 9-14 is also part of preventive women's healthcare.
Are gynaecology and maternity services covered by insurance?
Vivekananda Hospital is empanelled with CGHS, ESI, Aarogyasri, Arogyabhadratha and 25+ private insurers. Maternity coverage (antenatal visits, delivery, C-section, post-natal) depends on policy - many policies have a waiting period (typically 2-4 years) for maternity benefits. Gynaecological surgeries (hysterectomy, myomectomy, cystectomy) are usually covered under standard policies. Bring policy documents for specific coverage confirmation before planned admission.
