Masturbation does NOT cause varicocele, testicular atrophy, or prostatitis. Excessive masturbation may cause temporary tiredness or local discomfort, nothing permanent.

Varicocele: caused by vein valve weakness (not masturbation) Testicular atrophy: due to hormones, blood supply, infection, aging Prostatitis: usually infection, inflammation, or urinary issues Anal fistula & groin abscess Caused by infection and blocked glands No direct connection to masturbation

Excessive masturbation does not cause varicocele, testicular atrophy, or prostatitis. Varicocele is usually due to vein issues, testicular atrophy from hormonal or vascular problems, and prostatitis from infection or inflammation. Your anal fistula and groin abscess are unrelated to masturbation, but they can cause local pain and discomfort.

Persistent symptoms after masturbation may be due to underlying inflammation, infection, or anxiety, not structural damage from masturbation itself.

You should see a urologist and a proctologist to evaluate your genital, anal, and groin issues.

Understanding your situation excessive and prolonged masturbation by itself does not directly cause a varicocele testicular atrophy or prostatitis A varicocele usually occurs due to weak valves in the veins of the scrotum leading to blood pooling Testicular atrophy is mostly caused by hormonal imbalance chronic infections or trauma Prostatitis is usually due to bacterial infection chronic inflammation or sometimes autoimmune causes

However excessive masturbation can worsen existing problems If pelvic floor muscles are weak or there is mild inflammation or poor circulation frequent ejaculation may increase temporary discomfort or swelling In your case the presence of an anal fistula and groin abscess indicates chronic local infection and inflammation Repeated friction or irritation can slow healing Masturbation here acts as a trigger but is not the root cause

From an Ayurvedic perspective your symptoms indicate Vata Pitta imbalance and low Ojas which weaken reproductive tissues increase chronic inflammation and slow recovery You can take Ashwagandha powder one gram twice daily with warm milk Safed Musli powder one gram twice daily with milk Gokshura 500 mg capsule twice daily to support sexual and urinary health Chyawanprash one to two teaspoons at night with milk helps build Ojas and immunity Daily massage of the lower abdomen groin and perineum with Ksheerabala oil improves local circulation and tissue strength Include protein-rich foods like milk paneer eggs and lentils and avoid fried processed and overly spicy food Avoid smoking alcohol excessive masturbation and prolonged sitting Maintain proper hygiene and do light exercise and yoga for pelvic health

It is essential to treat the anal fistula and groin abscess first before resuming sexual activity or starting sexual rehabilitation Herbs and lifestyle changes can show noticeable improvement in four to six weeks If you want I can prepare a complete 30-day Ayurvedic plan including daily routine herbs diet and massage so that sexual stamina improves healing accelerates and chronic prostate or testicular issues are prevented

Hello I appreciate you opening up about this. Dealing with sexual health problems for months, especially when symptoms pop up after masturbation, can cause worry, guilt, and fear. First off, you’re not the only one dealing with this, and it can be fixed. What you’re going through isn’t permanent, but more like a fixable body imbalance .

YOUR CONCERN

Based on what you’ve shared: * Been going hard with masturbation for a while * Symptoms hanging around for over half a year * Things get worse after masturbation * Issues with varicocele/testicular * Prostatitis * Anal fistula and groin abscess * Just not feeling sexually healthy

What this means: * Shukra Dhatu Kshaya * Vata messing with pelvic circulation * Ojas tank is empty * Inflammation issues * obstruction in pelvic blood vessels

In Ayurveda, this is all tied to doing too much sexually, which leads to low mojo, weak organs, and infections.

Straight Answers

Can masturbation cause varicocele? Not directly, but excessive masturbation leads to pelvic issues, which can mess with your veins and worsen varicocele.

Can it cause testicular weakness? Yeah, indirectly. Overdoing it can lower your mojo and not feed your testes right.

Can it cause prostatitis? Yes. Too much ejaculation can irritate your prostate, causing swelling.

Is there a with fistula and abscess? Yes. Because your immunity is down and you have inflammation issues, the healing is not good, Infections can hang around.

So, all your issues connect to too much mojo depletion, messed-up pelvic circulation, and low immunity.

What We Need to Do

* Get you back * Get pelvic circulation good * Fix prostate and testes * Boost immunity * Stop things from getting worse

AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT-

1. Ashwagandha Capsule – 1-0-1 after food 2. Kaunch Beej Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm milk 3. Shilajit Capsule – 1 in the morning 4.Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tabs twice a day

For Inflammation 1. Guduchi Capsule – 1-0-1 2.Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at night

Super Important: The 90-Day Rule * No masturbation * No porn * No sexual stimulation

This is like medical therapy. No meds will this.

DIET PLAN

INCLUDE * Milk daily * Ghee 1 tsp * Dates (2) * Almonds (5 soaked) * Pumpkin seeds * Pomegranate * Moong dal * Rice, khichdi

AVOID

* Spicy food * Junk food * Fried items * Alcohol * Smoking * Late nights

Varicocele surgery is only needed if * You’re in pain * Your fertility test proved bad * Testis shrinking fast

Many cases get better with Gokshura + Shilajit + abstinence.

Ayurveda is about fixing, not blaming. Give it 3–6 months of following the plan, and things can get way better.

See this as rehab for your body. This isn’t weakness. It’s just getting better.

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Excessive or prolonged masturbation does NOT cause varicocele, testicular atrophy, prostatitis, anal fistula, or groin abscess.

There is no direct connection between these conditions.

Modern Medical View Varicocele → due to weak venous valves (anatomical/genetic), not sexual activity Testicular atrophy → due to hormones, long-standing varicocele, infection, steroids Prostatitis → infection or pelvic muscle dysfunction; masturbation does not cause it Anal fistula & groin abscess → infection/inflammation, diabetes, gut issues; no sexual cause ✔️ Masturbation may temporarily worsen pain if inflammation already exists, but it is not the cause.

Ayurvedic View Masturbation does not cause disease by itself Ati-vyavaya (excess indulgence) may lead to: Vata aggravation → pelvic pain, weakness Shukra kshaya → fatigue, not structural damage Bhagandara (fistula) and Vidradhi (abscess) are due to: Pitta–Kapha dushti Poor Agni, chronic infection, Rakta dushti

👉 Root causes are dosha imbalance + impaired immunity, not masturbation.

❌ No causal link with masturbation ✅ Focus on treating infection, inflammation, metabolism, and dosha balance ⚠️ Recurrent fistula/abscess → rule out diabetes & gut inflammation

Here’s a simple, practical Ayurvedic lifestyle + diet plan that supports fistula healing, abscess prevention, pelvic health, and overall immunity—without being extreme or complicated.

LIFESTYLE PLAN

1. Dinacharya (Daily routine) Wake up before 6:30 am Warm water (1 glass) on waking Bowel routine at the same time daily – never suppress urge Sleep by 10:30–11 pm (very important for healing)

2. Activity & exercise Daily walking: 30–40 min (improves pelvic circulation) Avoid: Prolonged sitting Heavy weight lifting Cycling for long hours (pelvic congestion)

Recommended Yogasanas Malasana Pawanmuktasana Bhujangasana Viparita Karani (5–7 min)

Pranayama Anulom–Vilom – 10 min Deep abdominal breathing – 5 min

3. Sexual discipline Moderation, not suppression Avoid fatigue, late nights, or indulgence during active infection or pain No guilt or fear—mental stress worsens Vata

🥗 AYURVEDIC DIET PLAN

Pathya (Recommended foods) Grains Soft cooked rice Jowar, barley Avoid dry, hard foods Vegetables (well cooked) Bottle gourd (lauki) Ridge gourd Pumpkin Carrot Beetroot Proteins Moong dal Masoor dal (thin) Paneer (fresh, small quantity) Fats Cow’s ghee – 1–2 tsp/day (heals tissues, pacifies Vata)

Buttermilk (Takra) – VERY important After lunch Thin, spiced with: Roasted jeera powder Pinch of hing 👉 Excellent for fistula, abscess, gut health

Apathya (Avoid strictly) Spicy, fried, oily foods Bakery items, junk food Red meat, processed food Excess tea/coffee Alcohol & smoking Constipating foods (cheese, maida)

🚫 First, let’s separate myths from medical facts:

- Varicocele: This is an enlargement of veins in the scrotum, similar to varicose veins. It is caused by faulty vein valves and blood pooling, not by masturbation.

- Testicular atrophy: Shrinking of the testes usually results from hormonal imbalance, injury, infection, or certain medical conditions. Masturbation does not cause testicular atrophy.

- Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate can be due to bacterial infection or chronic pelvic floor tension. Masturbation itself is not a direct cause, though sometimes frequent ejaculation may temporarily worsen discomfort if prostatitis is already present.

So, excessive or prolonged masturbation is not medically linked to varicocele, testicular atrophy, or prostatitis. The connection you’re noticing is more likely due to underlying infection, inflammation, or pelvic floor strain rather than the act itself.

🩺 About Your Current Conditions - Anal fistula & groin abscess: These are signs of chronic infection and inflammation. They are not caused by masturbation, but they do indicate that your body is struggling with infection control and tissue healing. - Sometimes, systemic infections or poor immunity can cause multiple problems in nearby regions (perianal area, groin, prostate). - The fact that you have constant problems for 6+ months suggests a chronic infection or inflammatory condition that needs medical evaluation.

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective - Ayurveda would see this as Pitta imbalance (inflammation, infection) and Vata aggravation (weak tissue healing, pain). - Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Triphala, and Turmeric (Haridra) are often used for blood purification and immune support. - Guggulu formulations (like Triphala Guggulu or Kaishore Guggulu) are traditionally used for fistula and abscess management. - Sitz baths with neem or turmeric decoction can soothe local infection.

⚠️ Important Note - Anal fistula and groin abscess cannot be cured by herbs alone. They often require surgical drainage or fistula repair to prevent recurrence. - Ignoring infection can lead to spread into deeper tissues, worsening prostatitis-like symptoms. - Ayurveda can support healing and immunity, but modern surgical and antibiotic treatment may be necessary for complete resolution.

✅ What You Can Do Right Now - Do not rely only on self-treatment. Please consult a surgeon or urologist for fistula/abscess management. - Use Ayurveda as supportive care: Guduchi, Triphala, Turmeric, and neem sitz baths. - Avoid spicy, oily foods; favor cooling diet (cucumber, amla, pomegranate). - Practice stress reduction (yoga, pranayama) to ease pelvic tension.

EXCESSIVE OR PROLONGED MASTURBATION DOES NOT CAUSE VARICOCELE VARICOCELE HAPPENS DUE TO WEAK OR FAULTY VEINS AND INCREASED PRESSURE IN TESTICULAR VEINS WHICH IS MOSTLY ANATOMICAL OR GENETIC MASTURBATION MAY MAKE YOU FEEL HEAVINESS OR DISCOMFORT IF VARICOCELE IS ALREADY PRESENT BUT IT DOES NOT CREATE IT AND DOES NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE TESTICULAR ATROPHY TESTICULAR ATROPHY OCCURS ONLY WHEN VARICOCELE IS SEVERE AND LONG STANDING WITH POOR BLOOD FLOW AND HEAT REGULATION NOT DUE TO EJACULATION FREQUENCY

MASTURBATION ALSO DOES NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE PROSTATITIS HOWEVER VERY FREQUENT EJACULATION ESPECIALLY WITH ANXIETY DEHYDRATION CONSTIPATION LONG SITTING OR PELVIC MUSCLE TENSION CAN IRRITATE THE PROSTATE AND PELVIC MUSCLES WHICH CAN INCREASE BURNING PAIN OR DISCOMFORT THIS IS SYMPTOM AGGRAVATION NOT THE ROOT CAUSE

ANAL FISTULA AND GROIN ABSCESS ARE INFECTIVE AND INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS USUALLY RELATED TO BLOCKED GLANDS CHRONIC INFECTION GUT PROBLEMS LOW LOCAL IMMUNITY DIABETES SMOKING OR POOR HYGIENE THEY ARE NOT CAUSED BY MASTURBATION BUT CHRONIC CONSTIPATION STRAINING POOR PELVIC CIRCULATION AND STRESS CAN CONNECT THESE PROBLEMS INDIRECTLY

THE REAL COMMON FACTORS ARE PELVIC CONGESTION CONSTIPATION GUT INFLAMMATION RECURRENT INFECTION PELVIC MUSCLE SPASM AND STRESS MASTURBATION ACTS AS A TRIGGER BECAUSE IT INCREASES BLOOD FLOW AND MUSCLE ACTIVITY IN THE PELVIC AREA BUT IT IS NOT THE DISEASE CAUSING FACTOR

YOU ARE NOT PERMANENTLY DAMAGED AND THIS IS NOT IRREVERSIBLE WITH PROPER MANAGEMENT OF GUT HEALTH PELVIC HEALTH INFECTION CONTROL AND STRESS REDUCTION THESE SYMPTOMS CAN IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY

Masturbation does not cause Varicocele (swollen veins), Testicular Atrophy (shrinkage), or Anal Fistula. These are structural or infectious issues. However, Excessive frequency can cause Pelvic Congestion. This engorgement of blood in the pelvis can worsen the symptoms of Varicocele and trigger non-bacterial Prostatitis (pain after ejaculation).

In Ayurveda, excessive loss of reproductive fluid leads to a drop in immunity. The Fistula & Abscess are chronic infections. The fact that you have both suggests your body lacks the fighting power to heal these infections. The exhaustion from excessive sexual activity contributes to this low immunity, making the abscesses persistent.

Ayurvedic Advice 1. Treat the Infection (Fistula/Abscess) The groin abscess and fistula are active bacterial pockets. You cannot heal the reproductive system while these infections exist. Triphala Guggulu: 2 tablets twice daily. Saptavimsati Guggulu: 2 tablets twice daily.

2. For Pelvic Health (Prostate & Varicocele) Chandraprabha Vati: 2 tablets twice daily. Support: Wear supportive underwear (Scrotal Support) immediately to prevent the varicocele from worsening due to gravity.

3. Lifestyle: Pelvic Rest You must practice Brahmacharya (Sexual Abstinence) for at least 4-6 weeks. Your pelvic floor is inflamed. Ejaculation draws more blood to the area, feeding the inflammation and pain. Give the organs a break to heal.

Please consult a Surgeon (Proctologist) for the Fistula. Medicines alone rarely cure a complete fistula tract; you may need Kshara Sutra therapy.

No masturbation cannot cause any of your problems mentioned. But reducing masturbation, will help you overcome weakness. Since you have so many problems , your problem need to be treated gradually You need to first treat yourself with groin abcess and anal fistula., as these will intensify further problems, Once there 2 main problems are treated, further then can treat other problems which will require longer time duration of the treatment.

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. 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. 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.

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.
