With around 8.9 lakh (888,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Puducherry is number 79 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Puducherry's 3.66 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,300 hospital beds in Puducherry, including about 160 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 13 hospitals (about 9 public and 4 private). That is about 273 residents for every bed and around 250 beds per hospital on average. On these estimates the city is already at or above the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Puducherry, supported by around 2,000 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 Puducherry.
On health outcomes, Puducherry's infant mortality rate is 7 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 77.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 31% of hospital beds in Puducherry are private, so most people weigh private gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Puducherry.

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 Puducherry?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices.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.

How do I choose a gynecologist or obstetrician in Puducherry?
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.

Expect a history, blood pressure and weight check, blood tests, an early ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and date it, and advice on folic acid, diet and vaccinations. The doctor will then schedule regular check-ups and growth scans.
Can I consult a gynecologist for PCOS or irregular periods in Puducherry?
