Hello Suhail Ji,

For insurance coverage under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), you would need the Ayushman Bharat card, commonly referred to as the PMJAY card. This card offers health insurance benefits, including coverage for various surgical procedures.

  1. Locate Empanelled Hospitals:

  2. Consult with the Hospital:

    • Once you've identified a suitable hospital, contact them to confirm that the specific leg surgery you require is covered under the AB-PMJAY scheme. You may also check the list of covered procedures from the official Ayushman Bharat Portal.
    • Discuss the necessary documentation and the process to avail of the benefits.

Dear Asutosh,

Thank you for your query regarding the cost of frenulum surgery. To provide you with an accurate estimate, we need to clarify a few details:

  • Site of the Frenulum: Is the surgery required for a tongue tie or for a penile frenulum?
  • Surgical Technique: The procedure can be performed as a frenuloplasty (repair and repositioning) or a frenulectomy (removal), and the chosen technique will affect the cost.

Typically, the cost for frenulum surgery starts from around ₹35,000. However, the final cost depends on factors such as the specific site, the technique used, the hospital and doctor chosen, and available insurance and financing options.

Please note that an accurate treatment plan and cost estimate can only be determined after a thorough evaluation of your condition. If you need further guidance or wish to schedule a consultation, feel free to connect with our experts at HexaHealth.

Hello Dinesh Ji,

We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing extreme inflammation and pain at your surgical site. Here are a few immediate considerations:

  • Wound Care: If Savlon appears to be exacerbating the irritation, consider switching to gentle cleaning with sterile saline.
  • Topical Treatment: A topical antibiotic ointment might help if there's any sign of infection. However, please note that any medication should only be used under your doctor's guidance.
  • It is important to have a prompt evaluation by your treating surgeon.

We will arrange a call from our care specialist to help you consult with your surgeon and guide you with the appropriate treatment.

Hello Sanjay Kumar ji,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand that you have a kidney stone and wish to receive treatment under the Ayushman card. Generally, kidney stone treatments—ranging from non-invasive procedures like lithotripsy to surgical interventions—can be covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, provided the treatment is deemed medically necessary and is performed at an empanelled hospital.

Here's what you can do next:

  1. Verify Coverage:

    • Please check the official Ayushman Bharat website for a list of empanelled hospitals and to confirm if the specific kidney stone treatment you require is covered.

  2. Consult a Specialist:

    • It’s important to consult a urologist to assess the severity of your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. The specialist can guide you on the best options available under the scheme.

Hello Dinesh,

Thank you for reaching out. We understand your concern regarding the discharge from your stitches after your ZSR procedure on 25th Jan 2025.

A small amount of clear or slightly yellowish fluid (serous discharge) can sometimes be normal during the healing process. However, if the fluid is excessive, has a foul odor, appears pus-like, or if you experience increased pain, redness, or fever, it may indicate an infection or delayed healing, and you should seek medical advice promptly.

Regarding medication, if there are no clear signs of infection, you may only need to keep the area clean and follow your post-operative care instructions. If an infection is suspected, your surgeon might prescribe antibiotics to address it. It's essential to get a proper evaluation to determine the appropriate treatment.

We will arrange a call from our care specialist to help you consult with your surgeon and guide you with the treatment.

Hello,

The cost of gallbladder stone surgery starts from ₹40,000 and varies based on multiple factors:

  • Surgical Technique:
    • Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (minimally invasive, faster recovery, less pain)
    • Open Surgery (recommended in complex cases, requires a longer recovery time)
  • Hospital & Doctor Choice: Charges differ based on the facility and surgeon's expertise.
  • Insurance and Financing: The procedure is typically covered under medical insurance, and financing options are available.

Most hospitals offer a package covering the surgery cost, surgeon’s fees, medicines, and a 1-day hospital stay. However, if complications arise or a patient has pre-existing conditions, costs may vary.

For an exact estimate and hospital options, connect with our HexaHealth Care Specialists. We’ll guide you to the best treatment within your budget.

Mild bleeding after ZSR circumcision surgery is usually normal during the healing process. However, to ensure proper recovery, follow these steps:

What You Can Do

Medication for Bleeding Control: Antibiotics & Pain Relievers (as per your doctor’s advice) prevent infection and reduce discomfort.

Home Care and Precautions:

  • Avoid heavy physical activity or excessive movement to prevent strain on the surgical site.
  • Keep the area clean and dry to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Wear loose, breathable underwear to prevent friction.

Monitor Symptoms: If the bleeding increases, is bright red, or is persistent, seek urgent medical attention.

We highly recommend discussing this with your operating surgeon to determine if any additional treatment is needed. Our team will help you connect with the right specialist.

Hello Saloni Ji,

Thank you for reaching out. Based on your report indicating "massive ascites" (an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity), it's essential to determine the underlying cause to recommend appropriate treatment. Ascites can result from several conditions commonly related to liver diseases, cancers, or heart and kidney conditions.

Suggested Treatment Options

  1. Initial Management

    • Reduce salt intake to help manage fluid retention.
    • Medications may be prescribed to help remove excess fluid.
    • In cases of severe discomfort or difficulty breathing, a procedure such as paracentesis or an ascitic tap to drain the fluid may be necessary.
  2. Treating the Underlying Cause to reduce fluid-up.

  3. Regular follow-ups to monitor fluid levels and kidney function.

To provide a more personalized recommendation, could you share

  • Any known history of liver disease, heart problems, kidney issues, or cancer?
  • Symptoms you're currently experiencing (e.g., abdominal discomfort, bloating, difficulty breathing) with duration.
  • What are the results of liver function tests, kidney function tests, or other imaging reports?
  • What medications or treatments are you currently on?

How HexaHealth Can Help

  • Expert Consultations: Access to leading specialists, including hepatologists, oncologists, and gastroenterologists, for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

Hello Nirma Ji,

Hypospadias is typically corrected through surgery, which is often best performed between 6 months and 18 months of age. However, surgery can still be successful if done later, and your son’s age is still within an acceptable range for treatment. Pediatric urology surgeons are highly specialized in performing this procedure on young children.

The surgery involves reconstructing the urethra to place the opening at the correct position on the penis. This procedure is usually done under general anaesthesia, and most children can go home the same day. Recovery typically involves a few weeks, during which the child may have a small tube (catheter) to assist with urination while healing, along with some mild restrictions on activities to prevent strain on the surgical site.

For complete guidance and access to top hospitals and experienced pediatric urology surgeons, contact HexaHealth.

Hello Uday Ji,

Pilonidal sinus is a condition in which a small tunnel or tract forms under the skin, typically near the tailbone. It is often caused by ingrown hairs or prolonged sitting and can lead to discomfort, swelling, and sometimes infection.

Exploration of the sinus tract is a common procedure to diagnose the extent of the sinus and to guide treatment. Depending on the case, treatment may include cleaning, drainage, or surgical removal of the tract to prevent recurrence. Minimally invasive laser procedures are also available, which can result in faster healing and less discomfort.

It’s best to consult with a surgeon to determine the appropriate treatment for your condition. We can help you get the best treatment done.
