At Penguin Hospital, we believe every woman deserves compassionate, affordable, and personalised healthcare.
Led by Dr. Lakshmi Kalbande, our Obstetrics & Gynaecology department in PCMC, Pune, provides expert care for every stage of a woman’s life.
Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, managing PCOS or other gynaecological conditions, or navigating menopause, our team offers evidence-based treatment tailored to your needs.
From adolescence through pregnancy and into menopause, a woman’s health needs change continuously. At Penguin Hospital, a trusted multi-speciality hospital in PCMC, our OB/GYN department is equipped to support you through each of these phases.
We do not just manage conditions. We take time to understand your full picture, including your lifestyle, concerns, family history, and long-term health goals, and build care around you as an individual.
Our department offers a calm, hygienic, and private environment with a dedicated ultrasound suite, a well-equipped labour ward with continuous foetal monitoring, and an in-house laboratory for same-day testing.
We offer Sunday OPD because your health does not wait for weekdays. Emergency obstetric care is available 24*7.
Many women wait too long before seeking help, sometimes assuming that pain, irregular bleeding, or discomfort is just normal. Some symptoms genuinely need a specialist’s attention, and getting help early almost always leads to better outcomes.
Periods that are very heavy, unusually painful, or consistently irregular
Persistent pelvic pain or a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
Abnormal vaginal discharge, odour, or itching
Difficulty conceiving after one year of trying, or six months if you are over 35
A lump or swelling in the lower abdomen

Our OB/GYN team in PCMC, Pune, manages a wide range of conditions, both common and complex.
We address the root cause of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). By combining medical therapy with lifestyle guidance, we manage symptoms like irregular periods, acne, hair loss, and weight gain to effectively restore your hormonal balance. Our PCOS/PMOS specialists in PCMC use evidence-based protocols to deliver lasting results.
They are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that may cause heavy bleeding or pelvic pressure. Treatment depends on the size of the fibroid, your symptoms, and your plans for pregnancy.
Occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside it, causing pain and, in some cases, affecting fertility. Early diagnosis makes a meaningful difference to long-term outcomes.
Are fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries. Many resolve on their own, but some require treatment. We use ultrasound monitoring to track them and decide the most appropriate course of action.
Including twins, gestational diabetes, hypertension, recurrent miscarriages, and placenta previa, requires close monitoring and a specialist-led plan. This is a particular area of expertise for Dr. Lakshmi Kalbande at Penguin Hospitals.
Detected through Pap smears can be investigated further with colposcopy. Early detection remains one of the most effective tools in the prevention of cervical cancer.
Such as hot flushes, disturbed sleep, mood changes, and vaginal dryness are real, common, and treatable. We offer evidence-based support tailored to your stage and personal preferences.
Are investigated thoroughly at Penguin Hospitals to identify the underlying cause and build a plan for a safer future pregnancy.
Every consultation with Dr. Lakshmi Kalbande begins with a thorough history of your menstrual pattern, past pregnancies, current medications, and overall lifestyle.

is always our first consideration where clinically appropriate. PCOS, hormonal irregularities, early endometriosis, and many infections respond well to medication, dietary guidance, and lifestyle changes, without the need for surgery.
Penguin Hospitals uses minimally invasive keyhole techniques for procedures including ovarian cyst removal, fibroid surgery (myomectomy), diagnostic laparoscopy for pelvic pain, and hysterectomy. Smaller incisions mean less pain, a lower risk of infection, and a faster return to daily life.

of your health concern, menstrual history, past pregnancies, and lifestyle, with no rush and no judgement
if needed, always explained beforehand and conducted with your comfort as the priority
of our findings and all treatment options available to you, in language you can understand
Obstetrics covers pregnancy, labour, delivery, and postpartum care. Gynaecology focuses on the female reproductive system at all other stages of life, from puberty to menopause.
At Penguin Hospital, PCMC, both specialties are managed by Dr. Lakshmi Kalbande within the same department, giving you continuous and coordinated care.
See a gynaecologist as soon as you confirm a positive pregnancy test, ideally before 8 weeks. Early antenatal care identifies risks, starts essential supplements like folic acid, and establishes a safe care plan for your entire pregnancy. Delayed care can mean missed opportunities for early intervention.
Neither is universally safer. The right delivery method depends on your health, the baby's position, and clinical factors. At Penguin Hospital, we guide each mother toward the safest option for her individual situation, support informed decision-making throughout, and always prioritise the well-being of both mother and baby.
PCOS cannot be fully cured, but it can be very effectively managed. With the right lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and medications, most women with PCOS control their symptoms well, maintain regular cycles, and successfully conceive. Early management also reduces long-term risks such as diabetes and heart disease.
Heavy periods can result from fibroids, hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorders, or uterine polyps. See a gynaecologist if you regularly soak through more than one pad per hour, have periods lasting longer than seven days, pass large clots, or feel so drained that daily activities become difficult.
Yes. Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery uses small incisions, resulting in less pain, a lower infection risk, and a significantly faster recovery compared to open surgery. It is a well-established technique for ovarian cyst removal, fibroids, diagnostic procedures, and hysterectomy. Dr. Kalbande performs these procedures routinely at Penguin Hospital, PCMC.
A high-risk pregnancy involves conditions that raise the chance of complications for mother or baby, such as twins, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, placenta previa, or recurrent miscarriages.
