Hello Uttam Singh Ji,

Thank you for reaching out. Unexplained weight loss can be a symptom of tuberculosis (TB), but it can also be caused by other health conditions. TB symptoms may include persistent cough (lasting more than 2 weeks), fever, night sweats, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

To better assist you, could you share if you are experiencing any of these symptoms? Also, have you had any recent exposure to someone with TB, or do you have any underlying health conditions?

We recommend consulting a doctor for proper evaluation. A chest X-ray, sputum test, or other tests may be needed to confirm or rule out TB. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for recovery.

Please take care!

Hello,

Yes, frenectomy can be performed after circumcision and/or frenuloplasty of the penis. Frenulectomy (removal of the frenulum) is generally a safe procedure when done by an experienced surgeon. The safety and appropriateness of a frenectomy depend on factors such as healing from prior surgeries, the specific condition being treated, and any complications. It’s always recommended to consult with your urologist or surgeon to discuss your specific situation and receive personalized advice.

Hello Sintu Ji,

We understand your patient's medical concerns and suggest the following treatment:

  1. Hospitalization Consideration – If the patient is extremely weak, dehydrated, or showing signs of complications (confusion, persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, high fever, or difficulty breathing), hospital admission should be considered for IV fluids, electrolyte balance, and close monitoring.

  2. Medication & Treatment Plan:  We suggest taking a second opinion from medical specialist so that the current treatment plan can be reviewed and planned accordingly.

  3. Symptomatic Management:

    • Fever control
    • Hydration: Encourage oral rehydration with ORS/electrolytes; IV fluids if necessary.
    • Nutritional Support: A soft, easily digestible diet and high-protein foods are recommended to prevent weakness.

  4. Close Monitoring & Follow-up:

    • Daily assessment for warning signs (persistent high fever, confusion, low urine output, jaundice, difficulty breathing).
    • If fever persists beyond 5 days despite treatment, repeat blood tests to check for complications like severe anaemia, liver/kidney involvement, or resistance.
    • If platelets drop significantly, watch for Dengue co-infection.

  5. Rest & Recovery:

    • The patient should avoid exertion, take ample rest, and follow strict hygiene precautions to prevent further infection.

If symptoms worsen or the patient is unable to maintain hydration and food intake, urgent hospital admission is a must.

Hello Taqi Ji,

Intestinal perforation is a surgical emergency and requires immediate hospitalization with surgical and critical care support. The patient should be urgently evaluated for exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopic repair to seal the perforation and prevent peritonitis/sepsis.

Next Steps:

✅ Immediate referral to a surgical team for emergency intervention.
✅ Close monitoring for signs of peritonitis, sepsis, or worsening liver function due to Hepatitis B.
✅ Long-term follow-up with a hepatologist for Hepatitis B management post-surgery.

⚠ Delay in treatment can be life-threatening. Immediate surgical intervention is required!

प्रिय निमिषा,
સર્દી અને ખાંસી માટે કેટલાક અસરકારક ઘરગથ્થુ ઉપાયો ઉપયોગી થઈ શકે:

  • ગરમ પાણી અને ઉકાળો – તુલસી, આદુ, દાળચીની, મરી અને લવિંગ ઉમેરી પીવો.
  • મધ અને આદુ – 1 ચમચી મધમાં આદુનો રસ ઉમેરી લો, દિવસમાં 2-3 વાર લો.
  • ભાપ (સટીમ) – ગરમ પાણીમાં મીઠું અથવા યુકલિપ્ટસ તેલ નાખીને 5-10 મિનિટ સેટીમ લો.
  • હળદરનું દૂધ – રાત્રે સૂતા પહેલા હળદરવાળું ગરમ દૂધ પીવું.
  • ઉમેરા અને લીમડો – ગરમ પાણીમાં લીમડાના પાન નાખી ગરારા (gargle) કરો.
  • ગરમ સૂપ અને કઢી – ચીકી કે તીખા ખોરાકથી બચવું અને ગરમ પ્રવાહી પદાર્થીઓનું સેવન કરવું.

જો સર્દી-ખાંસી 10-15 દિવસથી વધુ સમય રહે, તાવ, શ્વાસ લેવામાં તકલીફ, કે છાતીમાં દુખાવો થાય, તો ડોક્ટરની સલાહ લેવી જરૂરી છે.

प्रिय पापिन जी,

क्या करें?

  • नेत्र परीक्षण कराएं – सही पावर का चश्मा या लेंस निर्धारित करने के लिए नेत्र रोग विशेषज्ञ (Eye Specialist) से जाँच करवाएँ।
  • डिजिटल स्क्रीन का कम उपयोग करें – लम्बे समय तक मोबाइल / लैपटॉप का इस्तेमाल करने से आँखों पर दबाव बढ़ सकता है।
  • आँखों की एक्सरसाइज करें – आँखों को आराम देने के लिए 20-20-20 नियम अपनाएँ (हर 20 मिनट में 20 सेकंड के लिए 20 फीट दूर देखें)।
  • आहार सही रखें – हरी सब्ज़ियाँ, गाजर, बीटा-कैरोटीन और विटामिन A से भरपूर आहार लें।
  • जरूरत हो तो LASIK सर्जरी पर विचार करें – यदि आप चश्मा पहनना नहीं चाहते हैं, तो LASIK या अन्य दृष्टि सुधार सर्जरी के लिए डॉक्टर से चर्चा करें।

यदि आँखों में दर्द, लालिमा, सिरदर्द या अचानक नज़र कमजोर हो रही है, तो जल्द से जल्द नेत्र विशेषज्ञ से परामर्श लें।

अपनी आँखों का ख्याल रखें!

પ્રિય નિમિષા,

ઓછા Vitamin B12 સ્તરોને યોગ્ય આહાર દ્વારા સુધારી શકાય છે. અહીં Vitamin B12 સમૃદ્ધ ખોરાકના સ્રોતો છે:

પ્રાણી આધારિત ખોરાક (સૌથી સારી રીતે શોષાય છે)

✔ દૂધ પ્રોડક્ટ્સ – દૂધ, દહી, પનીર
✔ અંડા – ખાસ કરીને પીળું ભાગ
✔ માંસ અને પક્ષી – ચિકન, માટેન, લીવર
✔ માછલી અને સમુદ્રી ખોરાક – સેલ્મન, ટ્યુના, સરડીન

શાકાહારી અને વેગન વિકલ્પો

✔ ફોર્ટિફાઈડ ફૂડ્સ – બ્રેકફાસ્ટ સીરિયલ, સોયા અને બદામ દૂધ, ન્યૂટ્રિશનલ યીસ્ટ
✔ મશરુમ્સ – ખાસ કરીને શીટાકે પ્રકારમાં થોડું B12 હોય છે

જો તમારું B12 સ્તર ખૂબ ઓછું હોય, તો માત્ર ખોરાક પૂરતો નથી. ડોકટરની સલાહથી B12ની ગોળીઓ અથવા ઈન્જેક્શન લેવાની જરૂર પડી શકે.

જો તમને થાક, ચક્કર, હાથ-પગમાં ઝણઝણાટ કે યાદશક્તિ સંબંધિત સમસ્યાઓ થાય તો તરત ડોક્ટરનો સંપર્ક કરો.

તમારું ધ્યાન રાખો!

Dear Umesh,

Your symptoms suggest a condition called phimosis (tight foreskin), which can cause pain, discomfort, and bleeding during intercourse. To understand your condition better, please share:

  • Since when are you experiencing this problem?
  • Can you retract your foreskin fully while flaccid or erect?
  • Any history of infections, swelling, or white patches on the foreskin?
  • Have you tried any treatment or ointments before?

Possible Treatment Options:

✔ Gentle Foreskin Stretching Exercises – Should be done carefully to avoid further injury.
✔ Oral Medications – If there is associated inflammation or infection.
✔ Circumcision – If phimosis is severe and causing pain and recurrent bleeding, minimally invasive surgical options like stapler or laser circumcision may be needed for permanent relief.

Since you are experiencing pain and bleeding, we strongly recommend consulting a urologist at the earliest for proper evaluation and treatment.

Avoid forcing the foreskin back, as it may worsen the issue. Let us know if you need assistance in finding the right doctor.

Take care!

Hello Namit Ji,

Heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia) with large clots and prolonged periods for more than 7 days or more than one cycle can have several underlying causes. To better understand your situation, please share:

  • Is your cycle regular or irregular?
  • Any history of fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, PCOS, or thyroid issues?
  • Have you had any recent tests like pelvic ultrasound, CBC, or hormone profile?

Possible Causes:

✔ Hormonal Imbalance – Estrogen-progesterone imbalance leading to excessive endometrial growth.
✔ Uterine Fibroids/Polyps – Non-cancerous growths in the uterus causing heavy bleeding.
✔ Endometriosis or Adenomyosis – Uterine lining growing abnormally, leading to severe periods.
✔ Thyroid Disorders – Hypothyroidism can affect menstrual cycles.
✔ Bleeding Disorders – Certain conditions may cause excessive bleeding.

Suggested Treatment Plan:

🔹 Medical Treatment:

  • Iron supplements to manage anaemia and improve haemoglobin.
  • Hormonal Therapy to regulate bleeding.

🔹 Lifestyle & Home Care:

  • Iron-rich diet – Leafy greens, pomegranate, beetroot, legumes, and red meat.
  • Hydration – Drink plenty of fluids to avoid weakness.
  • Regular Exercise & Stress Management – Helps maintain hormonal balance.

🔹 When to Consider Surgery?
If medications don’t help, diagnostic procedures like dilatation and curettage or hysteroscopy may be required. Additionally, treatment like endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolization, or hysterectomy (in severe cases) may be considered.

Since your haemoglobin is dropping, it’s important to consult a gynaecologist for detailed evaluation (ultrasound, hormonal tests, CBC, and clotting profile) to determine the exact cause and get the right treatment.

Dear Mr. Verma,

Persistent retinal issues requiring multiple surgeries and prolonged silicone oil placement indicate a complex retinal condition. A comprehensive evaluation by a specialized retinal surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate course of action.​

Possible Treatment Plan:

  1. Detailed Retinal Assessment: A thorough examination, possibly including advanced imaging techniques, to assess the current status of your retina.​

  2. Surgical Intervention: Depending on the findings, further surgery may be necessary to address retinal detachment or other complications.​

  3. Postoperative Care: Close monitoring and adherence to postoperative instructions to promote optimal healing and visual recovery.​

While the following hospitals are renowned for their specialized eye care services, it's advisable to confirm their empanelment status under the Ayushman Bharat scheme:​

  • Shreya Eye Centre: Offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services in all subspecialties of ophthalmology. ​

  • Eye Mantra: Established in 2013, known for affordable and comprehensive eye care. ​

  • EyeQ: A chain of super-speciality eye hospitals providing advanced eye care treatments.

  • Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital: Renowned for comprehensive ophthalmic services.​

  • Dr. Kapur's The Healing Touch Eye & Maternity Centre Offers specialized eye treatments.​

Next Steps:

  1. Consultation: Schedule an appointment with a retinal specialist at one of the empanelled hospitals to discuss your condition and potential treatment options.​

  2. Insurance Verification: Ensure that the chosen hospital accepts the Ayushman Bharat card for the specific treatments you require.​

  3. Documentation: Carry all relevant medical records, including previous surgery details and imaging reports, to your consultation.​

Precautions to Prevent Further Retinal Damage:

  1. Follow Postoperative Instructions: Strictly adhere to your doctor’s advice regarding head positioning, medications, and follow-up visits.
  2. Avoid Strenuous Activities: Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or sudden movements that may increase intraocular pressure.
  3. Protect Your Eyes: Wear protective eyewear to prevent accidental trauma, especially in crowded areas or while engaging in physical activities.
  4. Control Underlying Conditions:
    • Keep blood sugar levels in check if you have diabetes, as high glucose can worsen retinal issues.
    • Maintain optimal blood pressure to avoid retinal bleeding or further detachment.
  5. Monitor Vision Changes: Immediately report any sudden loss of vision, increased floaters, flashes of light, or worsening blurriness to your doctor.
  6. Maintain a Healthy Diet:
    • Eat foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, and E (like green leafy vegetables, fish, and nuts) to support retinal health.
  7. Avoid Smoking & Alcohol: These can contribute to retinal degeneration and worsen existing conditions.
  8. Limit Screen Time & Strain: Reduce prolonged screen exposure and take breaks to prevent eye fatigue.
  9. Use Prescribed Eye Drops: If your doctor has recommended lubricating or anti-inflammatory eye drops, use them regularly.
  10. Sleep Positioning: If instructed, maintain a specific head position (e.g., face-down) to help the retina heal properly.

Timely and specialized care is crucial for retinal conditions. Seeking treatment at a reputable facility will provide you with the best chances for a favourable outcome.​

Wishing you a successful treatment and a swift recovery.

Dear Deepak Ji,

Tinnitus and hearing loss persisting for two years require a detailed evaluation to determine the underlying cause and best management approach. Since your MRI was normal, we need to assess other factors.

Additional Information Needed:

  • Do you experience dizziness, ear fullness, or balance issues?
  • Was your hearing loss sudden or gradual?
  • Have you had a pure-tone audiometry test to assess hearing levels?
  • Any history of loud noise exposure, infections, or medications affecting hearing (like certain antibiotics or painkillers)?

Possible Causes & Treatment Options:

1️⃣ Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL):

  • If confirmed by audiometry, hearing aids with tinnitus masking features can help.
  • In severe cases, cochlear implants may be considered.

2️⃣ Meniere’s Disease (if dizziness is present):

  • A low-salt diet, diuretics, and vestibular therapy can help manage symptoms.

3️⃣ Tinnitus Management:

  • Sound therapy or tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) to habituate the brain to the ringing.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for tinnitus distress.

We recommend consulting an ENT specialist or audiologist for a complete hearing evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Let us know if you need assistance in scheduling an expert consultation.
