Written by Dr. Emmanuel L. Yanthan, MS (OB-GYN), for patients in Dimapur — including the part most articles leave out: when you don’t need to see a doctor at all.

Your first gynecologist visit: what actually happens
The single biggest reason women delay a first consultation is not knowing what it involves. Here is the whole thing, step by step, including what you can decline.
Your cycle is a monthly health report. Most women never read it.
Four numbers tell a doctor more about your health than almost anything else you could report — and you can collect all four on your phone.
Periods, PCOS and screening
Heavy periods: when it’s worth seeing a doctor
Most women have no reliable yardstick for “too heavy”. These are the specific signs that mean it’s worth being checked.
PCOS, explained without the jargon
What polycystic ovary syndrome actually is, how it’s properly diagnosed, why the name is misleading, and what genuinely helps.
Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers you can prevent outright
Screening does not look for cancer. It looks for the changes that come years before cancer — which is why it works.
Pregnancy and after
“Keep trying” is good advice, until it isn’t
Most couples conceive within a year. The useful question is knowing the point at which waiting stops being the better option.

Four nutrients do most of the work in pregnancy
You do not need a special diet in pregnancy. You need four specific things, and most of them are already in your kitchen.

Reading about it is a start. Being seen is the answer.
