b.) plan on losing a significant amount of weight in near future.

We are absolutely sorry for replying late, this is a major concern. Regarding your condition, it is also known as dehisced surgical wound, hopefully you have contacted your previous medical practitioner who had performed surgery, but if you didn't then continue to take proper care of your hygiene along with dressing the wound properly, and also ensure that you don't put a lot of strain on that area where the cut is located. Our page will help you find doctors who will manage your wounds with all care & attention - Plastic Surgery doctors in Mumbai, let us know if you city is different! But refer our page only if the doctor who had performed the surgery prior, is not available.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Dear user, our platform is independent of kaya clinic, and vice versa for them. What you are referring to is ear lobe repair surgery if we are not wrong, and kaya clinic doesn't provides that, they appear to be limited to skin & hair care based services. You may refer our following page to find doctors who will perform the required treatment for you - Ent, Head And Neck Surgeons in India.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Ideally, you would be required to call for healthcare assistance on an urgent basis, but as you did this years ago and experienced no symptoms, thus it does not seem to me that you have anything to worry about. However, what's to consider here is, that the substance which you consumed can render your internal organs burned or damaged, so if you didn't experience pain but is possibly having some health problem which is growing and has continued to sustain undetected, then in that case you may want to contact a healthcare professional, and our page can help you with that regards - General Physicians in India. Get yourself consulted and let us know if it's anything to be concerned about, and on our end we promise to provide you the best possible resources and up-to-date information to guide you further, if need be.

Hello doctor I just wanted to ask agar me 21 days of exposure k Baad HIV DNA PCR karati hu to kya usme 98% pata lag jata h kya??? Mera unprotected penetration hua tha...
Samruddhi Bhartiya

Answered on 23rd May '24
We would advise that you get tested after the 2nd week, 4th week, 3rd month, and 6th month -- if at any point you are tested positive then you might have something. We say this because we are aware that HIV tests can be uncertain.
Also, if you recently had this kind of sex then you may want to get PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent HIV infection. This should be done as soon as possible, and ideally within 72 hours of exposure, but you can still try, just call into emergency service providers or the nearest clinic.
You may want to show yourself to a gynecologist - Gynecologists in Mumbai, and for better recommendations, let us know if your city is different.

I am 40 years old i have transplant Required day admit your hospital
Samruddhi Bhartiya
Member of team ClinicSpots.
Answered on 23rd May '24
Your query doesn't give us much hint on what kind of transplant you got operated for, and it leaves us equally confused on whether you want to get admit in some hospital owing to your transplant-related complications, or if you have a hospital requirement because you want some transplant surgery to be performed on you.
Please be more elaborate.
We are also not a medical faculty. Through our Q&A forum (or "ask an expert" section), as well as our blogs, we educate people of options that are available for them within their reach as well as budget constraints.
We are also attaching our page, hoping that either it or its filters will bring you across hospitals that you truly require - Hospitals in Navi Mumbai.
Let us in on your medical requirements, also let us know of your location preferences.

weight loss for fertility
Hi this enquiry related from my wife she has gain 100 kg weight and she was covid positive but I want to know how can you reduce the fat from whole body and what about the side effect, precautions and after this treat she can conceive or not please suggest me. Regards Prasann Kumar
Samruddhi Bhartiya

Answered on 23rd May '24
Your wife's weight loss course will commence with dieting, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.
And in the event that they don't return desired results, only then she will be granted some medical or surgical treatment, but that would be parallel to her ongoing efforts pertaining to her diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
- To move on to prescription based remedies, she would be required to meet one of the following criteria:
- Her body mass index (BMI) is equivalent of or greater than 30
- Her BMI is greater than 27, and additionally, she has medical complications linked with obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
- Before prescribing any medical remedy, the doctor will assess her on the basis of her health history, as well as possible side effects which could likely occur based on whatever symptoms she's showing.
Weight loss medicine licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) include the following, but she will have to be monitored & permitted by her doctor as well:- Orlistat (Alli, Xenical)
- Phentermine and topiramate (Qsymia)
- Bupropion and naltrexone (Contrave)
- Liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza)
When she will stop taking her prescription medication, she might observe that she has regained more or all of her weight. And there could be side effects & risks as well, so keep the doctor updated on a routine basis.
- Endoscopic surgeries: less invasive surgical procedures concerned with limiting her overall intake of food, we have given some gist below, just for your reference:
- Planting stitches inside her stomach so as to reduce its size and the amount of food which she can consume.
- Or inserting a small balloon within her stomach, which is then filled with water to limit the space available. This helps you feel fuller quicker.
- Bariatric surgeries: These are surgical methods that have the same function as our endoscopic surgeries, but with more invasive procedures.
- She will qualify for them if earlier methods failed, but for this she would also have to be extremely obese (BMI of 40 or greater), and if her BMI happens to be between 35 to 39.9, then her serious weight-related problems will be taken into consideration as well.
- Following are the procedures which she can be counted for: gastric by-pass, adjustable gastric banding, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and gastric sleeve.
- Vagal nerve blockade:
- It involves implanting a device under the skin of the abdomen, which transmits intermittent electrical pulses to the abdominal vagus nerve, same helps in communicating to the brain when the stomach is empty or full.
- Adult individuals who have not been able to lose weight and who have a BMI of 35 to 45, coupled with some obesity-related disease, are also eligible.
- Proceeding to weight loss treatment cost, the surgical procedures will cost anywhere between Rs. 2,25,000 to Rs. 7,00,000. Whereas dieting-related consultation can vary from rs. 1,200 to rs. 20,000.
For more information regarding obesity, you can visit experts and use our page to find them: Dietitian/Nutritionists in Bangalore, she will start out with these specialists but as she advances to further stages owing to her complications, she will be referred to other doctors as well. Let us know if you reside in a different city, to recieve better recommendations.
