Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am working in obstetrics & gynecology, and tbh it's a field that keeps throwing new things at you—nothing ever really feels routine. I deal with pregnancy care (right from early doubts to complicated labour), female sexual health issues, menstrual irregularities, PCOD, uterine problems and all sorts of reproductive system concerns. Some women come in with clear symptoms, others aren’t even sure what’s “normal” anymore. I try to listen first. That matters.
Infertility is another space I work in a lot. Sometimes it’s hormonal, sometimes structural, sometimes… just confusing. I focus on figuring out the *actual* cause, step by step—without rushing into treatments that don’t fit. Every patient has their own story. And yeah, not all cases succeed, but when they do—it kinda makes everything worth the effort.
Honestly, my approach isn’t just about prescriptions or procedures. It’s also about trust. Creating a safe space where women can talk freely—even if they’re not sure what to ask for yet. That part takes time, but it’s necessary. |
Achievements: | I am grateful that my dissertation got selected for *Best Dissertation Award* during postgraduation—it was something I put a lot into, though honestly wasn’t expecting it to win anything. That project kinda pushed me into more academic writing too. Since then, I’ve published multiple papers in different medical journals. Some took forever to get right, others came together faster than I thought. Either way, research just became part of how I try to grow in this field. |
I am working in obstetrics and gynaecology for around 10 years now—across places like Manipal, Kolkata, and Guwahati. Each city kind of shaped me in different ways, honestly. I’ve handled a wide mix of cases but my core work’s mostly around deliveries—normal and not-so-normal ones. Complicated vaginal births where you hold your breath till the last second... and cesareans too when there’s no other way out. I’ve done quite a few hysterectomies as well—some straightforward, others... not really. Infertility is another area I’ve worked in—helping couples who’ve been trying for years or just started realising something’s off. The challenge is that every case has its own pattern, its own emotional weight. You can’t just follow a template. I’ve learned to slow down with those patients, really look at the details... cycles, hormones, all that. What stays with me most is that moment after a tough delivery, when the room goes quiet and you realise—okay, baby and mother are both fine. That’s when all the stress suddenly makes sense. Not every case turns out perfect of course, but you carry those wins with you. And sometimes the losses too. Anyway, I try to keep learning—every patient, every shift adds something to how I see my role.
