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.

  • Insurance Assistance: Guidance on insurance coverage for consultations, diagnostics, and procedures.
  • Post-Treatment Care: Continuous follow-ups to monitor your progress and prevent complications.

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.

Hello Pavan Ji,

Pilonidal Sinus is a small hole or tunnel in the skin, usually at the top of the buttocks, where hair and debris can accumulate. It can lead to infection, pain, and sometimes swelling.

Symptoms:

  • Pain and swelling near the tailbone
  • Redness and pus discharge (in case of infection)
  • Fever (if the infection is severe)

Treatment Options:

  1. Non-Surgical: In early stages, antibiotics and keeping the area clean can help prevent infection.
  2. Surgical Options:
    • Incision and Drainage: Drains the infection and relieves pain.
    • Surgical Excision: Removes the sinus tract to prevent recurrence.
    • Flap Surgery: Recommended for recurrent cases, where the wound is closed using nearby tissue.

Home Care Tips:

  • Maintain hygiene by regularly cleaning the area.
  • Avoid sitting for long periods.
  • Wear loose clothing to reduce irritation.
  • Laser hair removal may be recommended to prevent recurrence.

If you're experiencing pain or recurrent infections, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional. Feel free to contact us at HexaHealth for a detailed treatment plan and personalized assistance. We’re here to help you every step of the way!

Hello Yogesh Ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern. It seems like you're dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), mucus discharge, and have been diagnosed with colonic arteriovenous malformation (AVM) following your colonoscopy. Let's break down the medications prescribed:

  • Colospa Retard is often used to relieve IBS symptoms by relaxing the muscles of the intestines, reducing cramps, and controlling abdominal pain.
  • Econorm Capsules contain probiotics that help restore the natural balance of bacteria in the gut. This can be helpful in managing diarrhoea or mucus discharge often associated with IBS.
  • Bandy Plus is an antiparasitic medication, possibly prescribed to ensure there are no underlying parasitic infections contributing to your symptoms.

Treatment for colonic AVM depends on the severity and symptoms. Mild cases may require monitoring, while more severe cases might need procedures like endoscopic therapy or even surgery. Please consult with your gastroenterologist to discuss the appropriate line of treatment for AVM.

In the meantime, ensure you're following a suitable IBS-friendly diet, managing stress, and sticking to the medication regimen as prescribed by your doctor. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to follow up for further evaluation.

You can connect with our experts and we will guide you with the best possible treatment plan.

Feel free to reach out for any further queries, and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hello Ajay,

Gallstone surgery is commonly recommended when stones cause symptoms like pain, infection, or blockages. The primary treatment option is cholecystectomy, where the gallbladder is removed. The most common approach is laparoscopic surgery, which offers several advantages:

  1. Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions compared to open surgery.
  2. Faster Recovery: Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal activities.
  3. Less Pain: Reduced post-operative discomfort.

At HexaHealth, we can connect you with experienced surgeons, help you with hospital admission, and guide you through insurance and the recovery process. Reach out via the HexaHealth app for personalized assistance.
