WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING IS VERY COMMON AFTER HEMORRHOID SURGERY AND IT DOES NOT INDICATE ANY DANGEROUS CONDITION AFTER SURGERY THE ANAL SKIN AND SURROUNDING TISSUE BECOME SENSITIVE AND SLIGHTLY TIGHT AND WHEN STOOL IS HARD IT CAN CAUSE MICRO TEARS OR SCAR STRETCH PAIN WHICH FEELS LIKE BURNING OR CUTTING OUTSIDE THE ANUS WITHOUT BLEEDING THIS IS USUALLY DUE TO A SMALL SUPERFICIAL FISSURE OR SCAR IRRITATION AND IT IS MORE COMMON IN PEOPLE HAVING LONG STANDING CONSTIPATION COLD WEATHER STRONGLY AGGRAVATES VATA DOSHA WHICH CAUSES DRYNESS HARD STOOL SLOW BOWEL MOVEMENT AND PAIN SO YOUR CLIMATE IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF TREATMENT IS TO CORRECT GUT HEALTH AND MAINTAIN SOFT OILY STOOL DAILY WITHOUT STRAINING FOR CONSTIPATION YOU CAN TAKE TRIPHALA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH LUKEWARM WATER DAILY IF STOOL STILL REMAINS HARD ADD ISABGOL HUSK ONE TEASPOON SOAKED IN WARM WATER AT NIGHT TAKE ONE TO TWO TEASPOONS OF COW GHEE DAILY WITH WARM FOOD OR WARM WATER AS THIS LUBRICATES THE COLON AND PREVENTS FISSURE PAIN

FOR LOCAL HEALING CONTINUE WARM SITZ BATH DAILY FOR TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER THAT APPLY JATYADI TAILA OR YASHTIMADHU GHRITA EXTERNALLY AROUND THE ANUS TWICE DAILY THIS HELPS HEAL MICRO CUTS REDUCE BURNING AND SOOTHE THE SKIN

DIET SHOULD BE WARM SOFT AND MOIST PREFER COOKED VEGETABLES KHICHDI SOUP OATS PORRIDGE AND STEWED FRUITS AVOID DRY FOODS RAW SALADS BAKERY ITEMS AND COLD WATER INCREASE WATER INTAKE GRADUALLY TO TWO AND A HALF TO THREE LITERS DAILY AND ALWAYS TAKE IT LUKEWARM

IF PAIN PERSISTS DESPITE SOFT STOOL THEN A LOCAL EXAMINATION MAY BE REQUIRED TO RULE OUT CHRONIC FISSURE OR SCAR TIGHTNESS BUT MOST CASES IMPROVE WELL WITH VATA PACIFYING CARE AND REGULAR BOWEL HABITS

✅ Is this normal after hemorrhoid surgery? - Yes, mild pain/irritation can persist if stools are hard. - Scar tissue is less elastic, so fissure-like pain can occur. - Keeping stools soft is the most important preventive step.

1.Triphala churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water 2.Gandharva haritaki churna 1/2 tsp at bedtime with warm water

🧴 External Care - Jatyadi Taila or Nirgundi Taila: Apply externally for soothing fissure-like pain. - Warm sitz bath with Triphala decoction: Reduces burning and irritation. - Avoid harsh ointments unless prescribed; stick to soothing herbal oils.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle (Vegetarian-friendly) - Increase water intake → Aim for 2.5–3 liters daily (warm water in cold weather). - Add fiber-rich foods: papaya, soaked raisins, figs, prunes, spinach, bottle gourd. - Avoid: excess spicy, fried, sour, and very cold foods (they aggravate fissures). - Include healthy fats: ghee (½–1 tsp daily), sesame oil, flax seeds. - Routine: Regular meal timings, avoid skipping breakfast. - Yoga: Pawanmuktasana, Vajrasana after meals, Anulom Vilom pranayama.

Hlo,

Yes, this can happen, especially when: Stool becomes hard There is past surgical scarring Weather is cold (cold increases dryness and Vata imbalance)

- This suggests: Early anal fissure, OR Scar-line irritation with skin micro-cracks These often heal on their own if stool remains soft consistently.

You should have to follow - - Hydration + soluble fiber + lubrication Avoid harsh stimulant laxatives (senna, bisacodyl regularly)

Best options - Isabgol Warm fluids Healthy fats Gut-soothing herbs

AYURVEDIC PRESCRIPTION 1️⃣ Triphala Churna Dose: ½ teaspoon at bedtime With warm water or lukewarm milk Benefits: Regulates bowel movement Heals fissures Improves gut tone Safe for long-term use

2️⃣ Isabgol Dose: 1 teaspoon at night With 1 full glass of warm water ⚠️ Always drink enough water afterward.

3️⃣ Cow Ghee (or plant ghee if vegan) Dose: 1 teaspoon at bedtime With warm water or mixed in food Acts as: Natural lubricant + fissure healer

4️⃣ Abhayarishta (if stools remain hard) Dose: 10 ml + equal water After dinner (Use only if Triphala alone isn’t enough)

5️⃣ Local application (External) Jatyadi Taila or plain coconut oil Apply externally after sitz bath, once or twice daily Promotes healing and reduces burning.

🥗 DIET FOR CONSTIPATION (VEGETARIAN + COLD WEATHER) Increase: Warm cooked vegetables (lauki, pumpkin, carrot, spinach) Stewed apples, pears Oats, porridge, khichdi Soaked raisins (6–8 overnight) Healthy fats (ghee, olive oil)

Reduce: Dry foods Excess bread, cheese Raw salads in cold weather Very spicy food

💧 WATER INTAKE You currently take 1–2 L/day, which is low. 👉 2.5–3 liters/day, preferably: Warm or room temperature Small sips throughout the day

🚿 Continue Sitz Baths Warm water 10–15 minutes Once or twice daily

Yes l, this is very common after hemorrhoid surgery Hard stool strains healing tissues/scar →and causes external fissure-like pain, burning & irritation. Cold weather worsens constipation.

Quick & Safe Plan Diet (Increase Fiber & Lubrication) Daily: 1 papaya or 1–2 soaked figs/raisins morning Moong dal khichdi + 2–3 tsp ghee (lunch & dinner) Cooked lauki/zucchini + spinach (high water content) 1 bowl thin buttermilk + roasted jeera after meals Warm water 3–4 L spread throughout day (sip, not gulp) Avoid: Maida, rice only, dry food, late dinner, cold drinks

Medicines 1 Abhayarishta – 15 ml + 30 ml warm water after lunch & dinner 2 Triphala Churna – 3 gm night with warm water 3 Hingwashtak Churna – ½–1 tsp after meals with warm water 4 Jatyadi Ghrita – apply externally after sitz bath & bowel movement

Daily Must-Do Warm Sitz Bath – 15 min, 2–3 times daily (hot water + pinch rock salt) – reduces pain & heals Vajrasana 10 min after meals Oil massage lower abdomen with warm sesame oil nightly

If pain worsens or bleeding starts then see surgeon immediately.

Hello I get why you’re worried. After hemorrhoid surgery, a lot of people deal with the same stuff: hard bowels , a burning feeling outside the anus, and it feels like you have a fissure, but without any blood. It’s pretty common, especially when it’s cold out.

IS THIS NORMAL AFTER BEMMORRHOID SURGERY?

Yeah, it happens a lot. After you have surgery:

–Your skin’s more sensitive. –You might have a little scarring. –The blood flow to that area is a bit less than before. So, when you have a hard bowel movement, it can easily cause small tears or irritation. It sounds like what you’re feeling is: Irritation of the anal skin after surgery, which feels like a fissure.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

This is sometimes called: Parikartika (pain like you get with an anal fissure)

Which involves: Vata getting worse → causing dryness and hard stools Pitta getting involved → causing burning and irritation Weak Apana Vayu → leading to bowel movements that aren’t quite right The cold makes Vata worse, drying out your stool even more.

SAFEST WAY FOR CONSTIPATION

You don’t need strong stuff. You just need to help things move better and support your gut.

Best Daily Plan

👉Morning (Before Eating) A glass of warm water Add a teaspoon of ghee OR two soaked raisins

👉Night (Before Bed) Triphala churna – ½ to 1 tsp with warm water (It’s mild, doesn’t create a habit, and is great for your long-term gut health)

AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

INTERNAL MEDICATION (for constipation and getting better)

Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at night Isabgol (Psyllium husk) – 1 tsp in warm water or milk at night Abhayarishta – 15 ml with warm water after dinner (if your stool is still hard, this is optional)

EXTERNALLY

For pain, burning, and getting better:

Best Cream (Ayurvedic) Jatyadi Ghrita Put it around your anus, inside and out, with a clean finger before bed.

This will: –Help small fissures heal –Make burning less bad –Soften scar tissue

DIET PLAN

❌AVOID

Dry food Bread, biscuits Cheese Too much tea or coffee

✅INCLUDE

Oats Steamed veggies Ghee Warm soups Ripe papaya Soaked figs (two at night)

Really Important Life Rules

–Don’t sit on the toilet for too long –Don’t strain, even if you don’t feel like you need to go much –Keep taking warm baths –Always keep your lower belly warm (especially important when it’s cold)

What You Need to Know

–It’s not dangerous. –It’s just sensitivity and dryness after surgery. –If you keep your stool soft: -The pain will stop -Your skin will heal You won’t need surgery again

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Start with these safe options for softening stool . -Triphala Churna— 1 teaspoon (≈3–5 g) mixed in warm water, at bedtime daily. - Haritaki Powder— ½ teaspoon with warm water, in the morning (or roasted in ghee if available). - Abhayarishtam— 15 ml + equal warm water, after lunch and dinner. - Optional (for extra lubrication, 2–3 times/week): Castor Oil (Eranda Taila) — 5–10 ml in warm milk, at bedtime.

External Care - Warm sitz bath with Triphala decoction (boil 1 tbsp Triphala in 1 liter water, strain, use warm) — 10–15 minutes, 2–3 times daily. - Apply Jatyadi Taila or plain warm sesame oil externally after bath. Dietary Tips - Drink warm water throughout the day (start with 500 ml warm water + ginger/lemon upon waking). - Include: Stewed apples/prunes/figs (soaked overnight), ghee in meals, cooked moong dal khichdi, root vegetables (carrots, beets), oats porridge. - Avoid: Cold/raw foods, dry items, processed foods.

Dr. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. 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. 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

I am working in gynaecology since around 3.5 years now, and sometimes I still feel like I’m learning new things every single day, even when I thought I already understod a case well. My practice is rooted in Ayurveda, and I try to blend classical principles with what I see in real-time with each patient. I kinda focus a lot on understanding the root imbalance, because in gynaecology the issues are rarely just one thing… hormones, digestion, stress, lifestyle all get mixed up and I end up untangling them one by one. Some days the work feels simple, like guiding a patient with mild cycle irregularity, and other times I’m sitting longer trying to decode why the pain or bleeding pattern changed suddenly. I rely a lot on prakriti–vikriti assessment, pulse reading (even if I recheck it twice sometimes), and detailed history taking before I even talk about medicines or yoga or diet shifts. I treat cases like PCOS, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, leucorrhoea, and hormonal swings using classical Ayurvedic formulations, routine correction, and small daily adjustments that patients can actually follow… not those impossible routines that look good on paper. And yes, I do spend time explaining why certain foods or habits make symptoms worse, maybe more than required, but I feel it helps them see the full picture. There are moments when I question if I’m explaining too much or too little, but then patients come back saying they understand their body better now, and that somehow motivates me to keep this approach. I work with a mix of Ayurvedic therapies, diet planning, mild lifestyle coaching, and supportive counselling for the emotional side of gynaecological issues, which often gets ignored. My aim is pretty straight—help women restore balance with minimal confusion, natural healing, and a plan that feels doable. And even when the process is not perfect or linear, I stay committed to guiding them steadily toward long-term wellbeing.

I am a junior Ayurveda doctor just stepping into the clinical side of things after finishing my formal education. honestly I’ve spent years immersed in the classics—reading, memorising, interpreting shlokas, understanding the logic of Tridoshas and all—but now I feel that real learning starts only when you sit in front of a patient. That’s what I want more of now... actual practice, live consultation, and figuring out how to really listen to what a body and mind is trying to say. Right now my main goal is to build my diagnostic skills—especially with tools like Prakriti analysis, Darshan, and Nadi pariksha—and understand how those translate into smart treatment choices. I’m really interested in prakriti-based consultation and herbal formulations, plus the whole detox concept of Panchakarma always fascinated me. It’s one thing to study virechana in a textbook and another thing to see someone actually go through it and feel better. That difference is what I want to explore deeper. I think of myself more like a student-clinician still growing, trying to bridge that weird gap between knowledge and practice. I don’t claim to know everything—far from it—but I do care a lot about doing this right. My approach is always going to be rooted in classical Ayurvedic theory but I’m also open to evolving that understanding as I go. Sometimes what we learn in books needs rethinking in real life scenarios, especially when patients present with overlapping or unclear symptoms. It's not black and white always. I want to become someone who’s capable of guiding patients in a sincere, patient-specific way... and do it ethically. Long term, I’d love to deepen my work into both preventive care and chronic condition management. I'm open to mentorship and team-based settings where I can keep refining how I think and how I treat. At the end of it, I just wanna offer something real—care that’s thoughtful, evidence-respectful, and deeply Ayurvedic.

I am a fresher doctor stepping into practice with lot of curiosity and some nervousness too if i’m honest. My training gave me a foundation in Ayurveda principles, where health is not just the absence of illness but a balance between doshas, agni, dhatu & mind. I might not carry decades of expereince yet, but I hold patience and dedication which sometimes matter more than numbers. During study years I worked through cases of common disorders, watching how small changes in ahara-vihara and simple herbal formulations could transform patient comfort. It showed me that ayurveda is not about complicate plans but about restoring rhythm of body. I keep strong interest in musculoskeletal disorders like joint pain, stiffness, backache, where lifestyle corrections plus treatments like abhyanga, swedana and panchakarma therapies show amazing recovery. Also conditions of women health—PCOD, infertility, menstrual irregularities—are areas I want to focus deeply, as these affect daily living so much yet often stay under-discussed. I also learned about auto-immune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, aamavata, psoriatic arthritis, how tricky they are, and I feel motivated to study and treat them further with careful, step by step methods. As a fresher, I know my journey just starting. I am still shaping my skills, still questioning which approach work best, sometimes even re-checking basic things twice. But I believe this stage is also strength, because I come with open mind, no rigid habits, and eagerness to listen. I do not rush into decisions, rather I take time to observe each case, to connect symptoms with underlying dosha imbalance. I feel each patient teach something new and every treatment outcome is like a page added in my learning. I may not be perfect yet, but I am commited to honesty in my care, keeping focus on natural healing, preventive health, and respecting both modern diagnostics and traditional ayurveda wisdom. For me it is about building trust slowly, showing patients that even a fresher can hold responsibility with sincerity, and growing together step by step.
