With around 1.8 million (18 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Varanasi is number 39 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.1% a year, it would reach about 2.0 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 2,300 hospital beds in Varanasi, including about 110 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 140 hospitals (about 37 public and 100 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 16 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 3,200 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 2,300 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Varanasi, supported by around 4,100 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 Varanasi.
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 Varanasi, and 14 other cities in Uttar Pradesh have their own gynecologist page below.

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.

Frequently asked questions: Gynecologists in Varanasi
How do I find the best gynecologist in Varanasi?
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.

How can I book an appointment with a gynecologist in Varanasi?
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 Varanasi?
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 Varanasi offer gynecologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Varanasi include BHU Institute of Medical Sciences, and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for gynecologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
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.
What does a first antenatal visit usually involve?
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 Varanasi?
Yes. Gynecologists evaluate PCOS and cycle problems with an ultrasound and hormone tests, and combine medicines with lifestyle and nutrition advice. Some clinics work with a dietitian, which can help with weight management.
How many hospital beds does Varanasi have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 2,300 beds (around 110 ICU beds) for Varanasi. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
