What Does a Gynaecologist Do?
A gynaecologist (OB/GYN) is a specialist in the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. They diagnose and treat conditions affecting women’s reproductive and hormonal health. An obstetrician is a gynaecologist who has additionally specialised in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Most OB/GYN specialists in Dubai are dual-trained in both obstetrics and gynaecology.
Common reasons to see a gynaecologist include:
- Antenatal (pregnancy) care and monitoring
- Labour, delivery, and postnatal care
- Irregular or painful periods (dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia)
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Uterine fibroids
- Ovarian cysts
- Cervical smear tests and HPV screening
- Menopause management
- Fertility assessment and infertility treatment
- Pelvic pain or infections
- Contraception advice and management
- Gynaecological surgery (laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, myomectomy, hysterectomy)

How to Choose a Gynaecologist in Dubai
DHA licensing. All gynaecologists practising in Dubai must hold a valid DHA licence. If you are booking through a reputable hospital or well-known clinic, licences are typically verified as part of their credentialling process. You can verify any practitioner at the DHA Sheryan portal.
Consider language. Feeling comfortable communicating openly with your gynaecologist is essential. Most Dubai gynaecologists speak Arabic and English. Many also speak Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Malayalam, Tagalog, or French. Check the doctor’s listed languages before booking if communication is a concern.
Ask about continuity of care. For pregnancy care in particular, you want to ensure that the doctor who manages your antenatal appointments will be available for your delivery. Ask whether the doctor or a colleague covers deliveries and what happens in an emergency.
Match your needs to the specialist. If you are managing endometriosis or fibroids, a gynaecologist with laparoscopic surgery expertise (such as Dr. Usha Kiran or Dr. Jayacy Jayankar) is the best choice. For high-risk pregnancy, seek a doctor with specific fetal medicine training. For routine antenatal and postnatal care, the warmth and availability of the doctor are often the most important factors.
Insurance coverage. Most major insurers cover obstetrics and gynaecology consultations. Delivery and surgical procedures may require pre-authorisation. Always confirm your coverage with both your insurer and the hospital before booking. Read our guide to how to get health insurance in Dubai for more information.
