About Dr. Tahrir Abbas
Dr. Tahrir Abbas is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Dar Al Kamal Hospital in Sharjah. His career spans more than four decades in Iraq, Libya and the United Arab Emirates, and includes heading departments at Dubai Hospital and at Bin Sina Hospital in Libya and directing an Arab Board residency programme. He holds the FRCOG, the fellowship of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in London.
In pregnancy, Dr. Abbas looks after women from pre-conception advice through antenatal visits, delivery and recovery afterwards. He has a particular focus on pregnancies that need closer watching, such as those affected by diabetes, high blood pressure, twins or repeated miscarriage. He supports women who hope for a vaginal birth, including with epidural pain relief if they choose it, and performs caesarean sections when they are needed. With a diploma in general ultrasound, he carries out pregnancy scans himself, including nuchal translucency, growth and anomaly scans and Doppler checks.
On the gynecology side, he sees women with heavy or painful periods, irregular cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids and ovarian cysts, as well as those going through menopause. He also assesses couples who are having difficulty conceiving, starting with hormone tests, ovulation tracking and ultrasound. Where surgery is the right option, he uses laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques to remove fibroids and cysts or to look inside the womb, and he tailors medical and surgical choices to each woman's plans for a family.
A first consultation with Dr. Abbas usually starts with your history and any previous reports, followed by an examination or scan if needed. Consultations are available in Arabic and English.
