She begins by gathering a detailed understanding of each patient’s medical history, symptoms, and past treatments. Whether it’s irregular periods, fertility challenges, excessive hair growth, or acne, every concern is carefully addressed during this thorough consultation.

- Fertility Support: For women seeking pregnancy, options include ovulation-inducing medications or advanced fertility treatments like assisted reproductive technologies.
