Namaste Antima Jain ji,

Aapki bhuaji ke brain mein paani bharna (jise medically Hydrocephalus kaha jaata hai) ek gambhir sthiti ho sakti hai, jiska treatment sambhav hai – lekin sahi samay par diagnosis aur treatment zaroori hota hai.

Hydrocephalus ka treatment kya hota hai?

  • CT scan/MRI se diagnosis hota hai

  • Shunt surgery ya endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) ki madad se extra fluid drain kiya jaata hai

  • Treatment neurosurgeon ke under hota hai

Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) Card ka use:

Haan, agar aapki bhuaji ke paas Ayushman Card hai, to Hydrocephalus ka treatment free mein ho sakta hai empanelled hospital mein.

Aap kya karein?

  1. Apne najdeek ke Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospital jaakar inquiry karein.
    Hospital list dekhne ke liye visit karein:
    👉 https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/empnlWorkFlow.htm

    • State: Madhya Pradesh

    • District: Ujjain

  2. Documents le jaayein:

    • Ayushman Card

    • Aadhaar Card

    • Reports (CT/MRI)

HexaHealth aapki madad kaise karega?

  • Ujjain ya paas ke shehron mein best neurosurgeon se milvane mein

  • Insurance approval aur admission process handle karne mein

  • Zarurat ho to second opinion aur advance planning mein bhi

Aap chinta na karein, sahi treatment se inka ilaj ho sakta hai.

Bhagwan se prarthna hai ki aapki bhuaji jald theek ho jaayein. 🙏

  • हॉस्पिटल में भर्ती, डॉक्टर फीस, ऑपरेशन थिएटर चार्ज

  • दवाइयाँ और जाँच (जैसे अल्ट्रासाउंड, खून की रिपोर्ट्स)

  • अस्पताल में भर्ती से 3 दिन पहले और डिस्चार्ज के 15 दिन तक का इलाज

पटना में इलाज कहां हो सकता है?

Hello Sonia ji,

If you have a PM Health Insurance Card (Ayushman Bharat – PM-JAY), you can get a CT scan done free of cost, only if it's part of a doctor-advised treatment and you go to a PM-JAY empanelled hospital.

Where Can You Get CT Scan Done in Delhi?

To find hospitals in Delhi that accept the Ayushman card:

  1. Visit: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/empnlWorkFlow.htm

  2. Select:

    • State: Delhi

    • District: Delhi

  3. Type "CT Scan" in the speciality or procedure box (optional)

  4. Click "Search"
    You will see a list of empanelled hospitals where you can inquire about CT scan availability.

Important Things to Know:

  • A doctor's prescription is required for a CT scan under Ayushman.

  • Not all hospitals may offer a stand-alone CT scan; it should be part of inpatient diagnosis or treatment.

  • Always check with the Ayushman Help Desk in the hospital before visiting.

Sonia ji, feel free to share your medical concern or reports — we’re happy to guide you to the right care quickly and smoothly.


Wishing you good health!

Hello Sunny ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern. Frequent urination at night (nocturia) along with lower abdominal pain could be signs of a few underlying health issues. It’s important not to ignore these symptoms.

Possible Causes of Frequent Urination:

  1. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI):
    Pain during or after urination and frequent urges, especially at night, are common symptoms.

  2. Prostate Enlargement (in males):
    It is common after the age of 50, but can start earlier. It causes frequent urination, a weak stream, and pelvic pressure.

  3. Overactive Bladder or Bladder Inflammation:
    Can lead to urgent and frequent urination, including at night.

  4. Diabetes or High Blood Sugar:
    Increased urination is an early sign of uncontrolled sugar levels.

  5. Bladder or Kidney Stone:
    It can cause discomfort, frequent urination, or even blood in the urine.

What You Should Do:

  • Consult a urologist for proper diagnosis.

  • Tests that may be advised:

    • Urine routine and culture

    • Ultrasound of abdomen

    • Blood sugar levels

    • PSA (if over 45–50 years)

  • Drink enough water, but avoid caffeine or too much fluid close to bedtime.

How HexaHealth Can Help?

  • Help you book a urologist consultation in Ghaziabad or online

  • Assist with diagnostic tests

  • Support with insurance or financial options, if applicable

Let us know if you’d like us to arrange an appointment.

Wishing you relief and a speedy recovery!

Hello Harmeet ji,

Thank you for reaching out. From your message, it seems that your father has a urinary catheter (pipe) inserted—usually done when someone is unable to pass urine naturally due to medical reasons.

Why is a Catheter (Pipe) used in the Bathroom Area?

This is commonly done for:

  • Prostate enlargement

  • Urinary retention or blockage

  • Post-surgery care

  • Neurological conditions affecting bladder control

It helps drain urine from the bladder when a person cannot do so on their own.

What You Should Watch Out For

Please observe the following:

  • Is urine flowing normally through the pipe?

  • Any pain, blood, or fever?

  • Is the urine bag filling properly?

  • Any leakage or blockage?

If any of the above issues arise or the catheter has been in place for several days, a doctor must be consulted.

What You Should Do Now

  • Take your father for a follow-up with a urologist (especially if the catheter was inserted recently).

  • Maintain proper hygiene to avoid infection.

  • Ensure the catheter and bag are changed as per the doctor’s advice.

How HexaHealth Can Help

  • Connect you with a urologist near your area in Delhi

  • Book a follow-up consultation, if needed

  • Assist with insurance support or admission if further treatment is required.

Please let us know if your father is facing any specific issue with the catheter, and we’ll guide you immediately. Wishing him a smooth and speedy recovery.

Hello Wali Hussain Ji,

Thank you for your query regarding ERCP with stenting. This is a specialised gastrointestinal procedure, and it's great that you're seeking clarity.

What is ERCP with Stenting?

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder.
During ERCP, if there is a blockage or narrowing, a stent (a small tube) may be placed to keep the duct open and restore proper flow.

Why It's Done:

  • To treat bile duct stones, pancreatitis-related issues, or bile duct cancer

  • To relieve obstruction or jaundice

  • To place stents in case of strictures or tumours

What You Should Know?

  • Usually done under sedation or light anaesthesia

  • It is a minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery

  • You may need hospital admission for a day or two, depending on the condition

  • Follow-up is essential to monitor the stent and plan for replacement or removal

How HexaHealth Can Help?

  • Connect you with top gastroenterologists or GI surgeons in Delhi

  • Help find hospitals offering ERCP with stenting under insurance

  • Arrange for second opinions, costs, and appointments

Wishing you a smooth recovery and better digestive health, Wali Ji! Let us know if you'd like to consult a specialist near you.

Hello Ramesh Ji,

Thank you for your message. It’s good to know that your mother has had all the tests, including an MRI, blood test, and X-ray, done. Since the doctor mentioned a neurology-related issue, we need more clarity before proceeding.

First, Please Confirm:

  • What neurological problem has the doctor mentioned, with its treatment?

  • Has your primary doctor suggested lumbar spine surgery (L/S spinal surgery) for a specific condition, like slip disc, nerve compression, spinal stenosis, or disc herniation?

Once we know this, the treatment can be planned appropriately.

Lumbar Spine Surgery – Common Options

If surgery is required, here are the types often used:

  1. Discectomy or Microdiscectomy:

    • Removes part of a herniated disc pressing on a nerve

    • Minimally invasive with quick recovery

  2. Laminectomy:

    • Removes part of the bone or ligament to relieve pressure on spinal nerves

    • Often done for spinal stenosis

  3. Spinal Fusion:

    • Joins two or more vertebrae to stabilise the spine

    • May be advised in case of spinal instability or severe degeneration

Benefits of Lumbar Spine Surgery:

  • Relieves leg pain, back pain, and nerve compression

  • Improves movement and walking ability

  • Prevents nerve damage if done at the right time

  • Improves quality of life and daily function

How HexaHealth Can Help?

  • Free consultation with top spine and neurosurgeons in Kolkata

  • Assist with second opinions and confirm if surgery is truly needed

  • Help with hospital selection, cost comparison, and EMI options

  • Guide you through insurance approval

  • Support with booking, paperwork, and follow-up care

Given your condition—lung cancer with spinal metastasis at D11, and the advice for spine surgery, this is a critical stage.

Hello Ashwani Kumar Dubey Ji,

Thank you for sharing your detailed concern. At 54 years of age, being a well-controlled diabetic (HbA1c 6.0%) is a positive sign. However, your recent diagnosis of an enlarged prostate (34 grams), along with frequent urination, urgency, nighttime discomfort, and increased symptoms during travel, suggests a combination of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and possibly Overactive Bladder (OAB).

What May Be Causing Your Symptoms of BPH and Overactive Bladder?

  1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
    As the prostate enlarges, it can partially block urine flow, leading to:

    • Frequent urination

    • Sudden urge to urinate

    • Weak stream or dribbling

    • Nighttime urination (nocturia)

  2. Overactive Bladder (OAB):
    This includes sudden, intense urges to urinate—even when the bladder isn’t full.
    Diabetes can worsen this by irritating the bladder nerves.

Is Surgery Required?

Not always. At 34 grams, your prostate size is considered mild to moderate. Most patients with this condition start with medications and lifestyle changes, which often bring good relief.

However, surgery may be required if:

  • Medications don’t work after 3–6 months

  • You face urine retention or a very weak stream

  • You experience recurrent UTIs, bladder stones, or kidney involvement

  • Nighttime symptoms and travel urgency severely affect your routine

Surgical Options (If Needed):

  1. TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate):

    • Most common method

    • Removes excess prostate tissue without external cuts

    • Offers fast and effective symptom relief

  2. Laser Surgery (HoLEP, GreenLight):

    • Minimally invasive with less bleeding

    • Ideal for diabetic patients or those with bleeding concerns

  3. Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE):

    • A non-surgical, radiology-guided day-care procedure

    • Shrinks the prostate gradually by cutting off the blood supply

Benefits of Surgery (if advised):

  • Long-term relief from frequent urination and urgency

  • Better sleep and comfort during travel

  • Improved urine flow and reduced bladder strain

  • Lower risk of kidney damage and future complications

What You Should Do Next:

  • Consult a urologist for further evaluation

  • You may need tests like a bladder scan, uroflowmetry, and urine tests

  • Discuss both medical and surgical options based on your symptoms and preferences


Wishing you good health!

Let me know if you’d like help booking a trusted urologist in Bhopal or arranging a second opinion on whether surgery is right for you.

Hello Pardeshi Ji,

Curing sinus problems permanently depends on what's causing them—some people have occasional infections, while others suffer from chronic sinusitis due to allergies, nasal structure issues, or frequent infections.

👃 What Causes Chronic Sinus Problems?

  • Allergies (like dust, pollen, pollution)

  • Nasal polyps or a deviated nasal septum

  • Recurrent infections

  • Weak immune response

✅ Long-Term Treatment Options:

  1. Lifestyle and Medical Management

    • Use saline nasal sprays or steam inhalation daily to keep the sinuses clear

    • Manage allergies with antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, or immunotherapy (allergy shots)

    • Avoid known triggers like dust, smoke, and pollution

  2. Surgery for Permanent Relief
    If your symptoms don’t improve with medicines, a doctor may suggest:

    • FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) – a minimally invasive procedure to open up blocked sinuses and remove polyps or infection

    • Septoplasty – to correct a deviated septum that’s blocking airflow

🤝 How HexaHealth Can Help:

  • Book expert ENT consultations near you

  • Guide you through surgery options and recovery

  • Assist with insurance
