Common complaints

“Most often I treat patients with colpitis, cervical diseases, sexually transmitted infections, infertility and endocrine pathology. Also I manage pregnancy.”

Trends in obstetrics and gynecology

“Nowadays main trend is in nature-friendly medical treatment and care including natural birth and absence of tough standards. Instead, the evidence-based medicine comes to the fore. If something is proved beneficial we use it in clinical practice. For example, multivitamins are proved ineffective for pregnant women but advertising and broad offer of multivitamins in pharmacies make women consider that these vitamins are a panacea. Evidence-based medicine gives us a huge advantage over the standards of the past.”

Dobrobut Medical Center strengths

“In a private clinic a doctor should continuously develop professionally as competition here is quite high. It is a kind of impetus for development. A doctor upgrades not only knowledge in his specialty but also masters related areas of medicine, communicates with colleagues who also develop professionally. Here, doctors understand that if they are not aware of all current trends in their clinical field, patient will go to another doctor. ”

Specifics of working with patients

“Rapport is important. A doctor should be able to put himself in patient's positions, to persuade her that she is not alone with her problem and that her problem is solvable.”

Doctor’s advice

"It is important for a woman to visit gynecologist on time, undergo routine checkups once a year, do no forget to examine the mammary glands, the cervix and pelvic organs."

“If a healthy woman undergoes regular checkups, her health can be monitored. If there is a health problem, she should visit a doctor more often and know her checkup schedule. In addition, alarming symptoms such as pain and other discomfort should be a signal for immediate visit to a gynecologist. It’s better to prevent a disease than to treat it! ”

About work

“Most of gynaecological diseases are rooted in little knowledge about contraception and methods of STI prevention. Unfortunately, schools do not give knowledge in this area. Women need lectures, presentations in media, publications in magazines. All the necessary information is on the Internet but people simply don’t get a grasp of it and simply don’t have basic knowledge. ”

“Often women do not even know that they need to keep a menstrual period calendar. They come with the problem of menstrual disorders and do not know that they need to show the doctor their menstrual period calendar in order to see the problem.”

“Also, people believe that interrupted sexual intercourse is a 100% protection against unwanted pregnancy, which is fundamentally wrong. Patients self-medicate, prescribe antibiotics for themselves, and then suffer from it. Many problems are caused by ignorance.”
