Hello Khushi,

Thank you for sharing your concern. The symptoms you’re experiencing—weakness, white vaginal discharge, vaginal looseness, and weight loss—especially if continuing for over a year, may point to a combination of nutritional deficiency, infection, or hormonal imbalance, and should be addressed with care.

Possible Causes of Vaginal Discharge and Laxity

  1. Chronic White Discharge (Leucorrhoea):

    • Could be due to a vaginal infection (fungal, bacterial, or mixed)

    • Untreated infections may lead to fatigue and internal weakness

  2. Weight Loss and Weakness:

    • May result from nutritional deficiency, low haemoglobin (anaemia), or thyroid issues

  3. Vaginal Looseness:

    • It can occur due to weakened pelvic muscles, hormonal changes, or post-childbirth effects.

What You Should Do to Treat Vaginal Discharge and Laxity?

  • Consult a gynaecologist for evaluation and tests:

    • Vaginal swab test (to check for infection)

    • Blood tests for haemoglobin, vitamin D, B12, and thyroid levels

    • Pelvic ultrasound,d if needed

  • Maintain hygiene:

    • Use clean, dry cotton undergarments

    • Avoid scented soaps or vaginal washes

  • Eat a nutritious diet:

    • Include iron-rich foods (spinach, dates, eggs) and proteins (dal, paneer, milk)


To Treat Vaginal Laxity:

  1. Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegels):

    • Contract and hold pelvic muscles for 5–10 seconds

    • Do 3–4 sets of 10 reps daily

    • Helps strengthen muscles and improve vaginal tone

  2. Vaginal Tightening Procedures:
    If exercises are not enough or if you want faster results, doctors offer non-surgical laser or radiofrequency vaginal tightening treatments, which:

    • Are safe and painless

    • Help improve tightness, dryness, and sensitivity

    • Done in a clinic with no downtime

Important:

Since this issue has been present for over a year, please do not delay medical consultation. Early treatment speeds up recovery and improves comfort.

Hello Praveen Ji,

We're really sorry to hear about your mother. She's going through a lot, and it's important she gets the right care quickly.

Since she has a post-COVID lung infection, fits (which may suggest a neurological issue), and thyroid problems, she'll need a multi-speciality hospital where a team of doctors, especially a pulmonologist, neurologist, and endocrinologist, can evaluate her condition together.

In Hyderabad, some good hospitals you can consider are:

  • AIG Hospitals, Gachibowli – known for excellent pulmonary and neurology care.

  • Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda/Secunderabad, has all major specialities and advanced ICU care.

  • Gandhi Hospital – a government hospital empanelled under Ayushman Bharat for eligible patients.

If your family is eligible for Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY), you can use it to cover hospitalisation and treatment costs in empanelled hospitals. Just carry your Ayushman Bharat card and Aadhaar during the visit.

To check the empanelled Ayushman Bharat hospitals in your city:

  1. Visit the official PM-JAY website: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in

  2. Click on "Find Empanelled Hospitals"

  3. Select Telangana as the state and Hyderabad as the district

  4. You'll see a full list of hospitals, including private and government facilities, covered under the scheme

Wishing your mother a safe and speedy recovery.

Hello Subhash ji,

You’re right to question whether just 2 days of taking multivitamins can help. In most cases, multivitamins take 2 to 4 weeks of regular use to show noticeable benefits like improved energy, reduced fatigue, or better skin and hair. Some nutrients, like vitamin B12 or D, may take even longer, especially if the deficiency is severe.

If your wife feels better for a couple of days after taking them, it could be:

  • A placebo effect (feeling better just because you expect to), or

  • Temporary relief from a mild vitamin deficiency or general tiredness.

But since the weakness keeps coming back, it’s important not to rely only on supplements. This pattern may point to something more, like:

  • Low haemoglobin (anaemia)

  • Thyroid imbalance

  • Poor nutrition

  • Or even stress and lack of proper rest

The best step forward is to get a few basic blood tests—CBC, thyroid function, vitamin B12, and D levels—to identify the root cause.

Wishing your wife a speedy and lasting recovery! Let us know how we can support you.

Hello Vijay Ji,

Period pain is common, but if it's disrupting your daily life, it deserves attention. While stopping it forever isn’t always possible, the right approach can significantly reduce or even eliminate it, especially if the root cause is treated.

First, understand why it's happening:

  • Most commonly, it's due to natural uterine contractions.

  • But if the pain is severe or worsening, it could be due to conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, or adenomyosis, which require medical evaluation.

Lifestyle changes that can truly help:

  • Exercise regularly – walking, yoga, or light cardio improves blood flow and eases cramps.

  • Heat therapy – a warm water bag on the lower abdomen can provide quick relief.

  • Avoid caffeine and processed foods – they may worsen bloating and cramps.

  • A balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. 

  • Eat anti-inflammatory foods – like turmeric, ginger, leafy greens, nuts, and omega-3-rich fish.

  • Sleep well and manage stress – both play a role in hormonal balance.

Medication (only under doctor’s advice):

  • Pain relievers like ibuprofen or mefenamic acid can ease cramps.

  • Hormonal treatments (like birth control pills or IUDs) may lighten or stop periods and reduce pain.

When medical treatment is needed:

  • If pain is severe, persistent, or worsening, consult a gynaecologist to rule out underlying issues.

  • For diagnosed conditions like endometriosis, treatment options include medication, hormonal therapy, or minor surgery.

  • In rare cases, and only after medical advice, a hysterectomy may be considered.

HexaHealth can help you connect with expert gynaecologists, get scans or second opinions, and check if treatments are covered under insurance or government schemes like Ayushman Bharat.

Wishing you the best of health!

Dear Rehana,

Excess hair growth on the face (known as facial hirsutism) can occur due to multiple reasons, such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, or sometimes even due to genetic or ethnic factors.

🩺 To recommend the right treatment, it's important first to understand the root cause. We suggest you consult with an endocrinologist, who may advise some initial evaluations, like:

  • Hormonal profile (including androgens/testosterone)

  • Ultrasound pelvis (to check for PCOS if suspected)

  • Thyroid function test

🔍 Treatment options may include:

  • Medical treatment: Hormonal therapy (if hormonal imbalance is found)

  • Cosmetic procedures: Laser hair reduction (LHR) gives long-term results, but only if advisable.

  • Lifestyle modifications: Managing weight and diet if PCOS or insulin resistance is a contributing factor

🌸 Don’t worry — this is a common concern and with the right guidance, it can be managed effectively.

Dear Rinki ji,

Thank you for reaching out. It's wonderful that you're taking proactive steps to improve your health. At 47, regular health check-ups are a smart way to monitor your well-being and catch any potential issues early.

You can absolutely buy a health insurance policy that supports this goal. Many policies today come with free annual health check-ups, even if you don't make any claims.


✅ Here's how you can proceed:

  1. Look for a health insurance plan that includes:

    • Annual or bi-annual health check-up coverage

    • Cashless OPD or diagnostic test coverage (if available)

    • Wellness rewards or discounts for healthy living

  2. Consider plans that suit your needs as a single, independent individual, with:

    • Individual sum insured of ₹5–10 lakh (or more, based on your budget)

    • Pre and post-hospitalisation coverage

    • Option for critical illness add-on (optional)

  3. Top insurers offering such benefits include: HDFC ERGO, Niva Bupa, Star Health, ICICI Lombard, and Care Health.

Hi Divya,

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Back and leg pain during pregnancy, especially around the 5th week, is quite common due to the body undergoing several changes to accommodate the growing baby. Here are a few potential reasons for your pain:

Possible Causes

  1. Hormonal Changes: During pregnancy, your body releases a hormone called relaxin. This hormone helps your body prepare for childbirth, but can also make your ligaments more relaxed, leading to discomfort in the back and legs.

  2. Weight Gain: As your baby grows, additional weight can put strain on your back and legs, causing pain.

Tips for Relief

  • Proper Posture: Maintain a good posture while sitting, standing, or sleeping to relieve strain on your back.

  • Gentle Exercises: Prenatal yoga or light stretching can help with flexibility and reduce discomfort. Always check with your doctor before starting.

  • Supportive Footwear: Avoid high heels and wear comfortable, supportive shoes.

  • Warm Compress or Cold Packs: Apply heat or cold to the affected area for relief.

  • Sleep Position: Sleep on your left side with a pillow between your legs to reduce pressure on your lower back.

It’s important to keep your gynaecologist informed about any new pain. They may suggest additional remedies or check for underlying conditions, especially if the pain worsens.

Take care and wishing you a healthy pregnancy!

Hi Viahnu Ji,

Thanks for your question!

The Double Marker Test is a screening test done during pregnancy, usually between the 9th and 13th week, to check the baby’s risk of having certain chromosomal abnormalities — mainly Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13.

What does the test measure?

The test looks at two markers in the mother's blood:

  1. Free Beta hCG (a pregnancy hormone)
  2. PAPP-A (Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A)

These are combined with other details, such as your age and ultrasound findings (nuchal translucency), to calculate the baby’s risk.

Why is it important?

  • It does not diagnose a condition but tells you if there’s a higher or lower chance that your baby might have a genetic issue.
  • If the risk is high, further tests like NIPT or amniocentesis may be recommended to confirm.

Is it safe?

Yes, it’s completely safe for both mother and baby — just a simple blood test.

If you or someone you know is expecting and planning this test, we can help you connect with a good specialist, book appointments, or answer any further questions.

Hello Sangeeta ji, 

Please do not worry. A lump in the uterus is a fairly common condition and can be easily treated with the right medical care. Based on what your doctor said, surgery is likely recommended due to symptoms like pain, heavy bleeding, or the size of the lump.

Depending on your age and whether you’ve completed your family, the treatment may involve:

  • Removing just the lump (e.g., fibroid or cyst)
  • Or, in some cases, removing the uterus (hysterectomy), especially if you're not planning future pregnancies.

Recommended and Advanced Procedure Techniques

  • Laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive with smaller cuts)

  • Robotic-assisted surgery (high precision, less pain, faster healing)

  • Traditional open surgery (in selected cases)

Benefits of Getting the Procedure Done in Time

  • Relief from symptoms like bleeding, pressure, or pain

  • Prevention of further complications

  • Improved quality of life

Recovery Phase

  • With laparoscopic or robotic surgery, recovery is quicker — you may resume normal activities in about a week or so.

  • Hospital stay is short, and pain is minimal with proper post-op care.

Namaste,

Aapne apna concern share kiya, dhanyawaad.

Agar aap 25 din (approximately 3.5 weeks) pregnant hain aur pregnancy continue nahi karna chahti hain, toh medical abortion ek option ho sakta hai — lekin sirf ek registered gynaecologist ke supervision mein hi yeh procedure karna chahiye.


🔍 Medical Abortion Kya Hota Hai?

  • Ismein 2 medicines (Mifepristone aur Misoprostol) diye jaate hain jo pregnancy ko terminate karte hain.
  • Yeh treatment early pregnancy (up to 7 weeks) tak effective hota hai.
  • Lekin isse pehle ek ultrasound scan zaroori hota hai — jisse pregnancy location (intrauterine ya ectopic) aur duration confirm hoti hai.

🛑 Important:

  • Medical abortion ek medico-legal procedure hai, jise sirf registered gynaecologist ke guidance mein kiya ja sakta hai.

  • Galat medicine ya bina supervision ke lene se ho sakta hai
    • Heavy bleeding
    • Incomplete abortion
    • Infection
    • Future pregnancy complications


📍 Aapke sheher ke paas HexaHealth ke trusted aur experienced gynaecologists available hain jo aapko confidential aur safe treatment provide kar sakte hain.

Agar aap chahein toh hum aapki appointment aur full support arrange karne mein madad karenge — completely private aur samvedansheel tareeke se.

Hello Payal,

We understand your concern. A missed period does not always mean pregnancy, but the first step is to confirm it with a home pregnancy test (urine pregnancy test kit). These are easily available at medical stores and should be taken with the first-morning urine for the most accurate results.

If the Test is Negative:

  • Your period may be delayed due to stress, hormonal imbalance, lifestyle changes, or PCOS.

  • Wait a few more days. If your period hasn’t started, consult a gynaecologist for further evaluation.

If the Test is Positive & You Do Not Want to Continue the Pregnancy:

  • DO NOT take any medicine on your own—abortion pills can have serious side effects, including heavy bleeding, infection, or incomplete abortion.

  • Consulting a gynaecologist immediately for safe and legal medical guidance is important.

  • In India, medical abortion is legal but should always be done under a doctor’s supervision for safety.

We strongly advise seeing a doctor as soon as possible for proper counselling and a safe course of action.

If you need help finding a specialist, let us know.

Dr. Rudrani DholeExpert

Dear Sejal,

I understand that having heavy breasts can cause discomfort, back pain, and posture issues. Let me walk you through the treatment options available, starting with the most effective solution:

1️⃣ Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty) – The Most Effective Option

If you’re looking for a permanent and effective solution, breast reduction surgery is the best option. The procedure removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a smaller, more proportionate breast size.

💠 Advanced Techniques in Surgery:

  • Liposuction-assisted reduction (for mild to moderate reduction with minimal scarring)

  • Traditional breast reduction (for larger reductions with reshaping for a natural appearance)

  • Anchor or vertical incision techniques (used to lift and contour the breasts)

💠 Benefits of Surgery:
✔️ Significant reduction in breast size and weight
✔️ Relieves back, neck, and shoulder pain
✔️ Improves posture and physical activity comfort
✔️ Enhances body proportion and self-confidence

💠 Recovery Timeline:
⏳ 1-2 weeks: Rest and avoid heavy activities
⏳ 4-6 weeks: Gradual return to normal activity, with swelling reducing
⏳ 2 months+: Full results visible as the shape settles


2️⃣ Supportive Non-Surgical Options

While these methods cannot significantly reduce breast size, they can help manage discomfort:

✅ Well-Fitted Bra: Provides proper support and reduces strain on your back.
✅ Hormonal Balance: If hormones contribute to breast size, a doctor can evaluate and suggest treatment.
✅ Healthy Diet & Exercise: While weight loss can slightly reduce breast size (if due to fat), it won’t impact glandular tissue significantly. Cardio (running, swimming) and strength training (chest presses, push-ups) may help tone the area.


How HexaHealth Can Help You

At HexaHealth, we connect you with top breast reduction surgeons and guide you through every step—from consultation to recovery. If you’re considering surgery or want expert advice on managing discomfort, feel free to reach out. 💙
