Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am working mostly with women across differnt stages of life—from first periods to post-menopause chaos and everytthing between. My focus is in obstetrics and gynaecology, but not just in the delivery room type of way. I deal with real-time hormonal shifts, missed periods, unwanted pain, pregnancy doubts, sexual health topics no one wants to say out loud and yeh—sometimes just explaining what’s normal when Google freaks people out. I also help women understand their own wellness better, not just treat them. Whether it’s PCOS, fertility planning or menopause symptoms that don't get talked about enough—I try to create a space where patients can actually ask the uncomfortable stuff, coz honestly that's where most issues begin. I don't believe in rushing through appointments or handing out textbook advice. Each body behaves different, and my job is to listen first—before any advice come in. Sometimes all it takes is the right question, not a prescription. |
Achievements: | I am honestly not much into competitions but yeah, I did bag 3rd prize at BOGSCON for poster presentation—kinda nerve-wracking but good experience tbh. Also got selected as best speaker during thesis presentation which felt nice coz explaining ur own work to a room full of peers isn’t easy lol. Both of these pushed me to look deeper into how I communicate ideas, esp in obgyn topics that ppl usually just skim over or don't even bring up at all. |
ChatGPT said: I am someone who’s walked into all kinds of intense moments in a woman’s life—pregnancy that isn’t going smooth, periods that stop talking to the calendar, that weird phase around menopause where everything shifts without warning. I worked at Fortis Superspeciality Hospital, and yeah... that really shaped my outlook. You learn quick when you're in the middle of high-risk pregnancy cases—you don’t get time to just plan, you respond, right there. Fast thinking, calm hands, and knowing what’s urgent vs what’s just loud. I deal a lot with PCOS too, which honestly feels like this silent thing for many women until it disrupts their daily rhythm—cycles, skin, weight, even mood. My role there isn’t just to diagnose, it’s to untangle it layer by layer. Whether it’s lifestyle, hormones, stress, or all tangled up, we work through it with the patient at the center. Infertility is another area I’ve been deeply into. And trust me, this part—it's not just clinical. Couples walk in carrying hopes n questions that aren’t always spoken out loud. I try to balance science with listening. Whether we’re talking ovulation tracking or just explaining how age or diet affects things, I keep it open, no jargon overload. Same with menopause—some ppl think it’s just hot flashes, but I know it can affect bones, sleep, mood, gut, intimacy, all of it. I help women navigate that phase with more clarity, and less fear or confusion. Honestly, each of these things aren’t separate in real life. One thing impacts the other. And that’s kinda how I work too—not just ticking boxes but looking at patterns across time. The goal isn’t just treatment, it’s guiding someone to feel informed and in charge of their own body. That's what I’m here for.
