With around 1.5 million (15 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Prayagraj is number 52 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2% a year, it would reach about 1.7 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,900 hospital beds in Prayagraj, including about 95 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 120 hospitals (about 31 public and 84 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 17 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 2,700 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Prayagraj, supported by around 3,400 nurses and midwives. 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 Prayagraj.
On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Uttar Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Prayagraj, and 14 other cities in Uttar Pradesh have their own gynecologist page below.

Frequently asked questions: Gynecologists in Prayagraj
How do I find the best gynecologist in Prayagraj?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three gynecologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr. Ritu Sinha (5/4, Dwarka hospital, KP Kakkar Rd, near Chandralok Cinema, South Malaka, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh 211003) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a gynecologist in Prayagraj?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a gynecologist consultation cost in Prayagraj?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Prayagraj offer gynecologist services?

How do I choose a gynecologist or obstetrician in Prayagraj?
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. Pap smear screening is generally discussed from the early twenties to thirties depending on guidelines your doctor follows.
Can I consult a gynecologist for PCOS or irregular periods in Prayagraj?
