This page tells you what to expect from booking through your first visit, so walking in feels a little less unfamiliar.
Why See Dr. Saraswathi Ramesh
Dr. Saraswathi Ramesh is a senior gynaecologist, obstetrician, and urogynaecologist with over 35 years of clinical experience. She holds an M.B.B.S., an M.D. in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, a Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Surgery (FMIS) in Gynaecology, a Fellowship in Urogynaecology, a Diploma in Naturopathy, and a PhD in Yoga. That combination is unusual, and it reflects how Arka Anugraha approaches care: rigorous, evidence-based gynaecology and obstetrics, delivered alongside an integrative understanding of a woman’s overall wellbeing.
Whether you are pregnant, managing a gynaecological condition, or simply due for a check-up, Dr. Ramesh’s experience spans routine and high-risk obstetric care, minimally invasive gynaecological surgery, and urogynaecology. You can read more about her full background and qualifications on her profile page.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
A first visit is usually straightforward, and there is no need to prepare anything elaborate. After a short registration at reception, a nurse will typically note your basic vitals. You will then spend time with Dr. Ramesh discussing your health history and the reason for your visit, in as much detail as you are comfortable sharing.
If a physical examination is needed, it will be explained to you first, and you are always free to ask questions before, during, or after. Dr. Ramesh will explain her findings in plain language, not just clinical terms, and discuss a plan with you, including any tests, treatment options, and their costs, openly. You are encouraged to ask about anything you do not understand. Nothing here is meant to be rushed, and no treatment decision should ever be made without this kind of in-person discussion first.

Documents to Bring
Bringing a few basics to your first visit helps Dr. Ramesh get a complete picture of your health right away, so your consultation time is used well. Where possible, please bring:
- A valid photo ID.
- Any previous medical records, scan reports, or blood test results related to your visit.
- A referral letter, if your visit was referred by another doctor.
- A list of medications you are currently taking, including any supplements.
- Details of your insurance policy, if you plan to use insurance, so our desk can confirm your specific coverage with you.
- For pregnancy-related visits, any prior pregnancy or delivery records, if applicable.
If you are missing something on this list, please still come in. Dr. Ramesh can begin your evaluation with what you have and request anything further as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: No. A hernia is a physical defect in the muscle wall and will not heal by itself. While some may not cause symptoms initially, they often enlarge over time and may require treatment to prevent complications.
A: You will not feel pain during the surgery itself due to anesthesia. After the procedure, some discomfort is normal, but it is well-managed. Patients who undergo minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic surgery typically experience significantly less pain and require less pain medication than those who have open surgery.
A: Recovery time varies, but it is much faster with minimally invasive techniques. Many patients return to light activities and desk work within one to two weeks. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for about four to six weeks, or as advised by your surgeon.
A: While some hernias are due to congenital factors, you can reduce your risk by maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking (to prevent chronic coughing), using proper technique when lifting heavy objects, and eating a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation and straining.
