Prof. Dr. Mala Banik

Prof. Dr. Mala Banik is a Professor of Gynaecology with qualifications including MBBS, FCPS and MS in Gynaecology. Her postgraduate training and academic position reflect her background in women's reproductive health. Gynaecology covers a wide range of concerns, from menstrual irregularities and pelvic discomfort to changes that may occur during different stages of life. A consultation can help patients discuss symptoms and understand what further assessment may be suitable.

Heavy periods, missed cycles, painful menstruation and bleeding between periods are common reasons to seek medical advice. Some women may also experience pelvic pressure, unusual vaginal discharge or discomfort that interferes with everyday activities. These symptoms can have different causes, so details about their timing, frequency and severity are useful during a consultation. Keeping a menstrual record and bringing previous ultrasound or laboratory reports can help provide a clearer medical history.

Gynaecological care may involve reviewing symptoms, conducting an examination or recommending further tests, depending on the concern. Patients should discuss recurring problems instead of repeatedly treating symptoms without understanding the cause. Changes in bleeding after menopause need medical assessment. Sudden severe pelvic pain, fainting or heavy bleeding may require urgent attention rather than waiting for a routine visit.

Prof. Dr. Mala Banik consults at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, English Road. Patients can prepare by listing their main concerns, current medicines and any previous diagnoses or treatments. Sharing when symptoms began and how they affect daily life can help guide the discussion. Any recommended investigation, treatment or follow-up will depend on individual symptoms and clinical findings.
