Hello Chandana, Thank you for sharing your concern. I can understand your concern regarding your bartholin cust. A Bartholin’s cyst that has persisted for 2 years and increases after intimacy can feel frustrating and emotionally distressing but don’t worry we are here to help. You out 😊

Since it’s painless and about 2 inches, it’s not infected yet and this is the best time to treat it without surgery.

TREATMENT GOALS

☑️Shrink or dissolve the cyst ☑️Stop recurrent white discharge after intimacy ☑️Prevent regrowth naturally ☑️Avoid surgery if possible

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Kanchanar Guggulu 1-0-1 after meals ( Shrinks cysts & swelling) 2 Triphala Guggulu 1-0-1 daily after meals (Anti-inflammatory) 3 Ashokarishta 15 ml -0-15ml with equal water, after meals ( Balances vaginal secretions) 4.Chandraprabha Vati 2-0-2 daily (reduces discharge )

👉 You can continue Triphala Churna at night for mild bowel regulation, but it won’t help alone with the cysts

✅ External Application + Sitz Bath

**Herbal Sitz Bath **– Daily Nimba + Aragwadha choorna - Take 5 gms of each in 3 litres of water boil and reduce to half and pour in a large tub, sit in the medicated water tub for 20 mins 👉 Helps reduce toxins, reduce cyst swelling & discharge

** Local Application** If surface swelling is palpable

Mix Lodhra churna + Honey into a paste Apply externally (not inside) over cyst area this will Reduces Kapha and helps shrink cyst

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Warm foods: barley, lauki, moong daL Black raisins, pomegranate, amla Turmeric milk (use cow milk only) Jeera water, coriander tea

❌ Avoid:

Dairy: curd, paneer, cheese Sugar, cold drinks, bakery food Heavy fried items Non-veg food, especially during infection or discharge

✅ Married Life & Intimacy Care

As you are newly married consider following ☑️If cyst increases after intimacy, avoid excess friction or dryness ☑️Apply Eladi taila or coconut oil externally to reduce irritation ☑️Keep vaginal area dry and clean post-intercourse ☑️Avoid intercourse when discharge is excessive or cyst feels tender

When to Consider Surgery?

Only if: ☑️Pain develops suddenly ☑️Cyst gets infected (fever, pus) ☑️Size increases despite 3 months of Ayurveda

👉 Otherwise, natural treatment works well especially when caught early like in your case

Ayurveda has helped many women like you avoid surgery with consistent and care

Wishing you comfort, confidence and good health😊

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal vidhate

HELLO CHANDANA,

A bartholin cyst occurs when the duct of the bartholins gland becomes blocked, leading to fluid accumulation . Size= A 2 inch cyst is quite large and unlikely to resolve entirely with home treatment alone- but symptoms relief and size reduction may be possible

In Ayurveda, bartholin’s cyst can be correlated to -Yoni granthi(vaginal cystic swelling) or Yoni kanda(growth in vaginal area) -rooted in Kapha dosha accumulation, often combined with pitta, especially if inflammation or discharge is present. - srotorodha(blockage of bodily channels) leads to fluid accumulation ans swelling - emotional factors like repressed emotions , sexual dissatisfaction or stress can also be aggravating factors

PATHOGENESIS -Kapha dosha aggravation-> sticky, heavy, qualities block the ducts of the bartholins gland. -pitta dosha aggravation-> leads to inflammation, discharge and heat -the blocked gland collects mucus and fluid-> leads to cyst formation -over time, if untreated, it can become chronic and hard

TREATMENT PLAN

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water = resolves cysts, scraping, kapha pitta hara

2) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with lukewarm water = anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, wound healing

3) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily before food =reduces swelling promotes urine and glandular drainage, dissolves cystic masses

4) PUNARNAVADI MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = helps with absorption and reducing oedematous sweeliing

LOCAL THERAPY

1) SITZ BATH WITH -triphala decoction or neem+ turmeric decoction =boil 1 tbsp triphala powder in 2 L water until reduced to 1.5 L -cool to lukewarm, sit in it for 20 min, once or twice a day

=it opens ducts, reduce inflammation, aids natural rupture if possible

2) HERBAL PASTE APPLICATION = Nirgundi+ turmeric paste -mix powder with sesame oil apply over the external swelling(not inside vagina) -leave for 30 min and wash off

3) OIL MASSAGE= kumari taila =helps reduce kapha mass and promote local circulation

DIET -warm, light, easy to digest food - moong dal soup, rice gruel, khichdi - vegetables= lauki, turmeric, neem, bitterkoud -warm turmeric water -garlic and ginger= best anti inflammatory

AVOID -daily-milk, panner, yogurt -fired, cold, or heavy foods - sugar, chocolates, bakery product -excess salt, spicy food-can aggravate pitta if infection risk -alcohol and caffeine

LIFESTYLE -wear loose cotton underwear -maintain genital hygiene without harsh soaps -after intercourse, gently clean and dry the vulva area - avoid suppressing natural urges-urine, stool -avoid sitting for long periods without breaks

YOGA -baddhakonsana -viparita karani -shavsana

HOME REMEDIES garlic compress- -crush 1 clove of garlic, warp in clean cloth -apply gently over the area for 10 min ,then remove -acts as natural antimicrobial and kapha pacifier -use only if cyst is not broken or open

EXPECTED RESULT TIMELINE

2 WEEKS= reduction in swelling, or discomfort 4-6 WEEKS= improves glandular function, reduce reccureence 8-12 WEEKS= drinking or rupture of the cyst= non infected one

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Bartholin’s cyst is the closure of duct of bartholin’s gland. When you are intimate, the gland produce more fluid and it will increase the pressure and size of cyst, this is the cause for pain during intimacy.

Marsupialisation is the grafting surgery for bartholin’s cyst. It is simple, can be done under local anesthesia, post operative complication is almost nil.

As your condition is 2 years long, you can try ayurvedic medicines for 4-6 weeks. If there is no change in your condition, you can go for marsupialisation.

1. Punarnava mandoora 1-0-1 after food. 2. Triphala guggulu 1-1-1 after food. 3. Do sitz bath with Triphala and neem leaves for 15 minutes.

🛑 Avoid curd, cheese, cold milk, fried and processed foods, sugar. 🛑 Avoid sitting for long periods.

Bartholin’s cysts, particularly when they are pain-free, can sometimes be managed using Ayurvedic principles. Since surgery has been suggested, it’s important to proceed carefully. In Ayurveda, we focus on reducing kleda (fluid retention) and balancing kapha dosha, which is often linked to cysts. While you are experiencing white discharge during intimacy, this suggests an imbalance that also involves vata dosha, considering your age and symptoms.

First, ensure a healthy diet that’s low in fat and refined sugars, as these can aggravate kapha. Prefer warm, light meals that aid digestion—such as soups or stews—incorporate spices like cumin, coriander, and ginger to enhance agni, or digestive fire. Drink warm water throughout the day to aid detoxification and clearance of any ama (toxins).

Triphala churna, although beneficial, might not be enough alone. You could add Guggulu formulations like “Kanchnaar Guggulu,” taken two times a day with warm water after meals; it’s known for its ability to reduce glandular swellings and imbalances.

Apply warm castor oil compresses to the cyst area—that can be soothing and help drainage. Boil a little water, soak a clean cloth, pour some castor oil onto it, and place on the cyst for 10 - 15 minutes once daily.

Maintain a regular routine of gentle yoga, focusing on postures that enhance pelvic circulation, like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly pose). Reducing stress through meditation or pranayama (such as Nadi Shodhana) is also useful, balancing the mind and aiding overall healing.

Since your symptoms exacerbate upon intimacy and given your recent marriage, it might be beneficial to use a pH-balanced lubricant—though Ayurveda might not solve this directly, it can ensure no extra irritation.

If symptoms persist or worsen, immediate medical intervention is crucial. Ayurvedic remedies should complement, not replace, urgent care options. Always consult with a qualified practitioner before adding new treatments.

HI CHANDANA,

Managing a bartholins cyst- especially one that has persisted for 2 years- can be challenging without surgery, but in mild, non infected cases, ayurvedic and natural remedies can help reduce recurrence or manage symptoms. since yours is painless, about 2 inches, and increases during intimacy, it sounds like chronic, non infected cyst that may be filling with fluid during arousal.

NON SURGICAL APPROACH

1) LOCAL TREATMENT

SITZ BATH= sit in a tub of water mixed with -neem leaves -turmeric- 1 tsp - rock salt- 1 tsp do this twice daily for 20 minutes -helps to soften the cyst and reduce inflammation.

HERBAL PASTE apply a paste of -turmeric+aloe vera gel(equal parts)= apply on the outer labia, close to the cyst not inside the vagina, once daily for 15-20 mins before washing - KANCHANAR GUGGULU powder + honey= mix and apply as a mild lepa

INTERNAL MEDICINES

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU(main remedy for cysts and fibroids) =2 tabs twice daily after meals with lukewarm water =helps in reducing cystic growth by breaking down accumulated kapha and meda fatty tissues

2) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= if you are already using triphala churna, try switching to triphala guggulu tablet instead = 2 tab twice daily after meals

3) MANJISTHA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily in morning and night =helps with blood purification and hormonal balance

4) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with equal waterr twice daily before meals = cyst with pelvic congestion

IMPORTANT TIPS -avoid spicy, fried, overly sweet food-these increase kapha and pitta -practice hygiene and gentle cleansing of the vaginal area -avoid tight underwear or synthetic material that blocked ventilation -during intimacy, if the cyst swells, avoid pressure or friction in the area -practice vaginal cleansing with triphala decoction

WHEN AYURVEDDIC MANAGEMENT MAY NOT WORK ALONE if -the cyst cotinues to grow - becomes painful or infected - causes pain during intercourse

Then marsupialization or surgical removal may eventually be necessary.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Vinayak Kamble
I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

Not really the kind of response I was looking for. Feels a bit disconnected from my question.
