Karnataka's 5 largest listed cities add up to roughly 18.7 million people. Bengaluru (14.4 million), Mysuru (1.3 million) and Hubballi-Dharwad (1.3 million) lead the list, with 2 other cities behind them. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 71,000 hospital beds, including some 3,500 ICU beds, in an estimated 2,900 hospitals (roughly 770 public and 2,100 private). Karnataka averages 3.80 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 73% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 23,000 doctors and 42,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. A gynecologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many gynecologists practise in Karnataka.

Karnataka has infant mortality of 15 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.3 years (India: about 72). This page lists 5 gynecologists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a gynecologist

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MD/MS (Obstetrics & Gynaecology), DGO or DNB.
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  5. Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Both spellings (gynecologist and gynaecologist) are used in India; the listings on this page cover both. For delivery, check that the hospital has neonatal care available.

Who is the best gynecologist in Karnataka?

How do I choose a gynecologist or obstetrician in Karnataka?

Check the qualification (MD/MS in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, DGO or DNB), whether the doctor practises at a hospital with delivery and NICU facilities if you are pregnant, and how comfortable you feel asking questions. Ask whether antenatal packages are itemised so there are no surprises.

At what age should a woman first visit a gynecologist?

There is no fixed age. A visit is sensible when periods are very painful or irregular, when you become sexually active and want advice on contraception, or when planning a pregnancy.
