Dr. Brigadier Rtd Azra Shamsi

Dr. Brigadier Rtd Azra Shamsi is a PMDC-verified Gynecologist practicing in Karachi with more than 31 years of professional experience in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. She has completed her MBBS from the University of Peshawar and holds MCPS and FCPS qualifications in Obstetrics & Gynaecology from the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, Karachi. Her extensive professional experience has provided her with a broad clinical background in women's reproductive health, pregnancy care, gynecological disorders, infertility, family planning, and obstetric management.
Her professional profile focuses on comprehensive women's healthcare, covering reproductive health from menstruation and pregnancy through menopause. As a Gynecologist, her clinical practice includes the assessment and management of conditions affecting the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina, and related reproductive structures.
Infertility is one of Dr. Azra Shamsi's listed areas of special interest. Patients experiencing difficulty conceiving may require a detailed gynecological and reproductive-health assessment. Her profile also lists IVF-related and IUI-related queries, as well as tubal block among the conditions and concerns for which patients may seek consultation. Appropriate fertility evaluation depends on the individual patient's medical history, examination, and relevant investigations.
Abnormal menstrual bleeding and uterine fibroids are also specifically listed among her areas of expertise. Menstrual disorders can include unusually heavy bleeding, irregular periods, prolonged bleeding, or other changes in the normal menstrual cycle. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can affect the uterus and may be associated with heavy periods, pelvic pressure, or other symptoms. A gynecological assessment can help determine the cause of symptoms and appropriate management.
PCOS and PCOD are listed among the gynecological conditions treated in her profile. Polycystic ovary syndrome can be associated with irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal changes, ovulation problems, and fertility concerns. Patients with suspected PCOS may require clinical evaluation and, where appropriate, laboratory or imaging investigations.
Endometriosis is another condition listed on her professional profile. Endometriosis can cause pelvic pain, painful periods, and in some cases fertility difficulties. Management varies depending on symptoms, age, reproductive plans, severity, and other clinical factors.
Dr. Azra Shamsi also provides care related to pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Her profile identifies her as a Gynecologist with expertise in Normal/Cesarean Delivery and includes pregnancy, pregnancy-induced vomiting, miscarriage, and other pregnancy-related concerns among the listed conditions and symptoms. Pregnancy care may involve regular monitoring, assessment of symptoms, and appropriate investigations throughout the pregnancy.
High-risk obstetric care is another important area of her professional practice. High-risk pregnancies may require closer medical monitoring because of maternal, fetal, or pregnancy-related factors. The appropriate level of care depends on the individual pregnancy and the clinical assessment of the patient.
Normal delivery and Cesarean Section are among her listed services. The method of delivery is determined according to the clinical circumstances of the mother and baby. A vaginal delivery may be appropriate in many pregnancies, while a Cesarean Section may be recommended when medically indicated.
Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are also listed among her gynecological procedures. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical approach that can be used in selected gynecological conditions, including certain infertility and pelvic problems. Hysteroscopy allows a doctor to examine the inside of the uterus and may be used for selected diagnostic or treatment purposes.
Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) is another listed service. Breast examination forms part of women's healthcare and may help assess breast-related symptoms or concerns. Patients who notice a breast lump, unusual pain, nipple changes, or other concerning symptoms should seek appropriate medical evaluation.
Family planning is one of Dr. Azra Shamsi's listed areas of special interest. Family planning consultation may involve discussing reproductive goals and available contraceptive or pregnancy-planning options according to an individual's circumstances and medical needs.
Menopause is also included among the conditions listed in her profile. Menopause represents a natural stage of reproductive aging and may be accompanied by changes in menstrual cycles and other symptoms. Gynecological consultation can help women understand these changes and discuss appropriate management when symptoms become troublesome.
Her profile also lists pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among the gynecological conditions that may be diagnosed and treated. These conditions can require timely medical assessment and, where appropriate, testing and treatment. Patients should provide complete information about symptoms and previous treatment during consultation.
Uterine prolapse is another listed gynecological condition. It occurs when the uterus moves downward from its normal position because of weakening of the pelvic support structures. Management depends on the severity of the condition, symptoms, age, reproductive plans, and overall health.
