About Dr. Purnima Sahni Sood

Dr. Purnima Sahni Sood is an experienced Gynaecologist at Max Hospital, with expertise in gynaecological oncology, minimally invasive surgery, high-risk pregnancy, and reproductive health.

India’s approach to women’s health integrates surgical expertise with multidisciplinary oncology and reproductive medicine.

MediKaya Healthcare provides dedicated Russian-language support for all women’s health consultations.

MediKaya coordinates Russian-language support for all women’s health consultations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can cervical cancer be treated in India for CIS patients?

A: Yes. India’s gynaec-oncology centres specialise in cervical cancer at all stages. Stage 1–2 cervical cancer is treated with surgery (radical hysterectomy) or chemoradiation, with survival rates comparable to European centres. Cost: $6,000–$12,000 vs $25,000–$40,000 in Germany.

Q: How does laparoscopic (keyhole) hysterectomy compare to open surgery?

A: Laparoscopic hysterectomy involves 3–4 small incisions instead of a large abdominal cut. Hospital stay is 2–3 days (vs 5–7 for open surgery), recovery is 2 weeks (vs 6 weeks), and scarring is minimal. India’s top gynaecologists perform 95%+ of hysterectomies laparoscopically.

Q: Is IVF treatment available in India alongside gynaecological treatment?

A: Yes. MediKaya partners with ART Fertility Clinics Delhi and Apollo Cradle, which offer IVF, ICSI, and egg donation alongside comprehensive gynaecological care. IVF cost in India: $2,500–$4,000 per cycle vs $5,000–$10,000 in Kazakhstan.

Q: Can women travel to India for high-risk pregnancy management?

A: Yes, but this requires early planning. Ideally, consultation should happen in the first trimester. Indian hospitals manage high-risk pregnancies including twin pregnancies, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and foetal anomalies with neonatal ICU backup.

Q: What is the cost of an endometriosis surgery in India?

A: Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis in India costs $2,500–$5,000 depending on severity. This is 60–70% less than equivalent procedures in Kazakhstan private hospitals or Turkey.
