Common symptoms include irregular periods, sudden weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and difficulty conceiving. Dr. Neelama Singh specializes in hormonal management for PCOS.

Yes, highly preventable. The HPV vaccine helps prevent the virus that causes it. Regular Pap Smears and Colposcopy (available at Center Hospital) can detect precancerous cells early.

While mild cramps are normal, severe pain could indicate Endometriosis, Fibroids, or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). It is not something you should just "live with"—treatments are available.

A pregnancy involving hypertension (BP), diabetes, age over 35, or twins/triplets is considered high-risk. Our hospital is equipped with an advanced NICU and ICU to handle such deliveries safely.

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus. They can cause heavy bleeding and pain. Depending on size, they can be treated with medication or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.

Natural pregnancy stops after menopause. However, with assisted reproductive technologies like IVF using donor eggs, it is medically possible, though it carries higher health risks.

Recurrent loss requires genetic testing, hormonal profiling, and uterine anomaly scans. Dr. Neelama Singh specializes in managing such complex fertility cases.

Neuro Surgery

Persistent morning headaches, projectile vomiting, seizures, sudden vision changes, personality changes, or weakness in one side of the body are red flags requiring an MRI immediately.

Sciatica is pain radiating from the lower back down to the leg, caused by compression of the sciatic nerve (often by a slipped disc). 90% of cases heal with medication and physiotherapy.

No. With modern microscopes and neural monitoring used by Dr. Anoop Jaiswal, spine surgery is very safe. The risk of paralysis is less than 1% in standard surgeries like Microdiscectomy.

Epilepsy is managed through anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). In drug-resistant cases, Epilepsy Surgery (removing the seizure focus) can offer a permanent cure.

Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder) causes stiffness and pain. It is common in diabetics. Treatment involves physiotherapy, intra-articular injections, or Arthroscopic release in severe cases.

A "pop" sound during injury, immediate swelling, and a feeling of instability (knee giving way) are classic signs. An MRI is needed to confirm.

Calcium and Vitamin D intake, weight-bearing exercises (walking/jogging), and avoiding smoking are key. Women post-menopause should get a DEXA scan.

It causes tingling in the hand. Early stages are treated with splints and nerve medicines. Advanced stages require a minor surgery to release the compressed nerve.

Pediatrics

Colic is common in the first 3 months due to a developing digestive system. Gentle rocking, tummy time, and gas drops usually help. It resolves on its own.

Yes, because the flu virus mutates (changes) every year. The vaccine is updated annually to provide the best protection against the current strain.

If they are choking (cannot breathe/speak), perform the Heimlich maneuver and rush to ER. If they swallowed a coin/battery and are breathing fine, come for an X-ray. Batteries are dangerous and need immediate removal.

Nephrology

There are 5 stages based on GFR (filtration rate). Stage 1 is mild damage, while Stage 5 is Kidney Failure requiring Dialysis or Transplant. Early detection can halt progression.

Yes, uncontrolled Hypertension is the 2nd leading cause of kidney failure. It damages the arteries around the kidneys, reducing their ability to filter blood.

Drink 3L+ water daily. Reduce salt (sodium) and animal protein. For calcium oxalate stones (most common), avoid spinach, beets, and nuts, but continue eating calcium-rich foods like milk.

Hemodialysis filters blood using a machine at the hospital (typically 3 times/week). Peritoneal dialysis uses the stomach lining to filter blood and can be done at home daily.

Surgery & Gastroenterology

With Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy performed by Dr. Gaurav Gupta, most patients go home the next day and resume normal activities within 1 week.

Endoscopy visualizes the food pipe and stomach. It is not painful but can be uncomfortable (gagging), so we use local anesthesia spray or mild sedation to make it painless.

Sudden pain starting around the navel and shifting to the lower right abdomen, fever, nausea, and inability to pass gas. This is a surgical emergency.

Laser surgery is far superior. It involves no cuts, no stitches, minimal bleeding, and the patient can often be discharged the same day with very little pain.

Hepatitis is liver inflammation usually caused by viruses (Hep A, B, C) or alcohol abuse. Hep A/E comes from bad food/water; Hep B/C spreads via blood.

HbA1c measures your average blood sugar over the last 3 months. Unlike a daily finger-prick test, it gives the bigger picture. A value below 5.7 is normal; above 6.5 indicates Diabetes.

This is called "White Coat Hypertension," caused by anxiety in a medical setting. Dr. Meraj Rasool recommends home monitoring to get accurate readings.

High fever, severe headache (behind the eyes), joint and muscle pain ("breakbone fever"), and rashes. Platelet count monitoring is essential.

Hypothyroidism (weight gain, fatigue) is managed with daily thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism (weight loss, tremors) needs anti-thyroid drugs. Regular TSH testing is crucial for dosage adjustment.
