Dr. Harini Theja
Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | Dr. NTR University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am trained both as a general physician and as an obstetrician & gynaecologist, which give me chance to look at patient health in a more complete way. As a general physician I handle common medical issues—fever, infections, diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, day to day complaints that families face. I believe in not just treating but also guiding patients on prevention, lifestyle and follow ups cause small changes often avoid bigger problems later.
At same time my specialization in obstetrics and gynecology allow me to care for women at different stages of life. I manage antenatal checkups, normal deliveries and also high risk pregnancy where complication can arise sudden. Gynec work involve treating menstrual problems, PCOS, infertility, fibroids, cysts, and menopausal issues. I also assist in gynec surgeries including cesareans and hysterectomy when needed.
I try to combine my dual role in practice—sometimes a woman come for pregnancy care but also need advice on diabetes or blood pressure, and being able to address both without sending them away makes a difference. My focus stay on patient centered care, listening properly, explaining in simple terms whether in Hindi or English, and building trust. Medicine is about skill, but for me it’s also about relation and continuity of care. |
Achievements: | I am proud that I submitted a paper on reducing the rate of cesarean delivery, a topic I feel strongly about since unnecessary c sections can bring extra risk for both mother and baby. The work focus on identifying safer strategies, better monitoring, and improving decision making in obstetric practice. Writing it was challanging, lot of late edits, but it gave me clarity on how evidence based care can shape better outcomes in maternity. |
I am currently in my final year postgraduate training in MS Obstetrics and Gynecology, and this journey so far has been layered with many different kinds of experiences. My early foundation was during internship at Narayana Medical College & Hospitals, Nellore (March 2020 to March 2021). That one year was intense—handling patients in wards, assisting in emergency cases, learning how every decision no matter small has impact. Right after that I worked as a government doctor under 104 service at Palamaner, Chittoor district. It was different from medical college, resources limited, patients coming from rural backgrounds, but it taught me value of listening carefully and working with what is available. Later I also worked as online consultant with Letsdoc, where consultations were virtual. At first I doubted if online could actually work, but it showed me how important accessibility is, especially for patients who hesitate to visit hospitals or live too far. It also trained me to be precise and clear with words, since physical exam was not always possible. For the last 3 years I have been a junior resident in OBGYN, gaining real depth in managing both obstetric and gynecological cases. From antenatal checkups to managing high risk pregnancies, from normal deliveries to cesareans, I got exposure to a wide range. I also assisted and performed in gynecological surgeries and handled emergencies that arrive suddenly, like ectopic pregnancy or postpartum hemorrhage. These experiences shaped my confidence and also taught me that calmness in those moments is as important as knowledge. Now as I near the completion of my MS, I carry forward learning from each stage. My focus is not just on clinical management but also patient communication, cause women often need reassurance as much as medical treatment. Each posting and role has made me adapt, whether in rural setting, online platform, or tertiary hospital, and all together they define the doctor I am becoming.
