Coronavirus Lockdown: Gynaecology among the top consulted specialities across e-healthcare firms

Many healthcare companies offering teleconsultation facilities are seeing the number of gynaecology-related queries soaring post the lockdown, making it among the topmost consulted specialities.

Top queries, according to doctors across platforms, have been connected with period problems, pregnancy complications during coronavirus, birth control techniques, and miscarriage.

Doctor consultations around gynaecology have seen over 80% increase on Lybrate, while there has been a 40% spike in paediatric-related consultations on the platform.

Saurabh Arora, Founder & CEO, Lybrate said, “As it is dawning upon people how unsafe it is to step out, pregnant women are opting to consult doctors online, resulting in a significant rise in virtual doctor visits on Lybrate.”
