My mother got effected by Covid and she got infection in lungs and she Is having fits and thyroid, can we have hospital for this checkup and can we use ayushman bharath

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.
