Visakhapatnam has an estimated 2.4 million (24 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 27 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 2.7 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Andhra Pradesh's 1.49 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,600 hospital beds in Visakhapatnam, including about 180 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 40 hospitals (about 11 public and 29 private). That is about 671 residents for every bed and around 91 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 3,700 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 3,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Visakhapatnam, supported by around 5,400 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 Visakhapatnam.
On health outcomes, Andhra Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 18 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 72% of hospital beds in Andhra Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Visakhapatnam, and 4 other cities in Andhra Pradesh have their own gynecologist page below.

- 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.

Frequently asked questions: Gynecologists in Visakhapatnam
Who is the best gynecologist in Visakhapatnam?

On this page, Dr.S.JAYANTHI (1/2, Amma Hospital, beside Petrol Pump, Venkojipalem, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh 530017) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a gynecologist in Visakhapatnam?
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 Visakhapatnam?
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 Visakhapatnam offer gynecologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Visakhapatnam include King George Hospital / Andhra Medical College, 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.
How do I choose a gynecologist or obstetrician in Visakhapatnam?
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.
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 Visakhapatnam?
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.
