I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

For Now continue your medicine. And for your kidney stone you need to do surgery. Keep hydration.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

When dealing with prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), it’s crucial to aim for relief from urinary symptoms while considering your lifestyle and any other health conditions—including the fact that you’re also dealing with a kidney stone. Your current medication, silodosin (Silodil), helps by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder, making it easier to urinate. It’s important to take this as prescribed and continue regular follow-ups with your doctor to monitor its effectiveness. There are a few more options you might discuss with your doctor, such as finasteride or dutasteride, which can reduce prostate size by blocking hormones that encourage prostate growth. These medications can take a while to have an effect, so they’re often combined with medications like silodosin for more immediate relief. It’s also worth considering lifestyle changes: reducing intake of alcohol and caffeine, and avoiding large volumes of fluid before bedtime can lessen the frequency of night-time urination. Regarding the kidney stone, particularly as it’s not causing pain, maintaining good hydration is essential. Drinking plenty of water helps to flush out the urinary system, potentially encouraging the stone to eventually pass if it’s capable of doing so. However, because it’s a sizeable stone that’s been noted as fixed in the kidney, you should have a detailed discussion with a urologist or your healthcare provider about other options when it comes to management. These can include shock wave lithotripsy or even surgical intervention if necessary, especially if there’s any sign of obstruction or infection. As always, decisions should be based on your specific medical circumstances, so these discussions are key; never attempt self-care strategies that delay or interfere with professional medical advice.
