“My journey into medicine, specifically gynecological surgery and office hysteroscopy, has always been driven by the women I serve. Their strength and resilience inspire me daily, pushing me to continually improve. Their well-being is my greatest reward.
During my time in medical college, I had the unique opportunity to study in Hyderabad and Pondicherry. Learning the local languages, Telugu and Tamil, directly from my patients was one of the most enriching experiences. It helped me communicate more effectively and connect on a deeper level with the women I aimed to help. Their stories, shared in their native tongues, were both humbling and enlightening.
With over a decade of experience now, the most rewarding part of my career is seeing women leave the hospital happy, cured, and well-informed. Knowing that my work has made a tangible difference in their lives is incredibly fulfilling. This satisfaction drives my dedication to advancing women’s health care, particularly in treating pelvic floor disorders.
Many women are told that concerns like incontinence or organ prolapse are just part of ageing or something to expect after childbirth. I strongly disagree with that mindset. These are medical conditions that deserve proper care and attention—just like any other health issue.
One important advancement I work with is office hysteroscopy. These procedures don’t need hospital admission or anaesthesia, and most women are in and out of the clinic within an hour. It’s a practical option for diagnosing and treating common concerns, especially helpful for working women in cities like Hyderabad who often put off appointments due to time constraints.
On this World Health Day, the theme ‘My Health, My Right’ is a reminder that good healthcare should be accessible and respectful. Everyone has the right to understand what’s going on with their body, ask questions, and receive care that works for their life—not just be told to ‘adjust.’
Moving forward, I hope to see more awareness and acceptance of treatments that make healthcare simpler and more approachable—because health isn’t a privilege. It’s a right.”
