Doctors’ responses

Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

It looks like you’ve noticed quite a shift in your menstrual cycle and other symptoms. This situation definitely warrants attention to get a clearer picture of what’s happening. A change in the duration and flow of your periods can sometimes point to an underlying hormonal imbalance. Since you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, body pains, acne, mood changes, and increased hair growth, it might be wise to consider whether there’s a hormonal condition like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at play. PCOS can lead to irregular periods, excess androgen levels (which can cause acne and excess hair growth), and other metabolic issues. However, these symptoms can also stem from other origins, so it’s essential to rule out any thyroid issues, nutritional deficiencies such as iron deficiency anemia, or stress-related factors. Your first step should be to make an appointment with a healthcare provider who can perform a thorough evaluation. They may order some blood tests to check your hormone levels, including your thyroid function, and iron levels. Additionally, they might suggest an ultrasound to assess your ovaries. Management typically starts with lifestyle modifications, like including regular exercise and a balanced diet to help regulate weight and potentially improve symptoms. Depending on the findings, the doctor may suggest medication like birth control pills to help regulate your cycle and manage other symptoms such as acne and hirsutism. While you’re waiting for your appointment, be sure to look after your nutritional intake, ensuring vitamins and minerals—particularly iron, are part of your diet to combat fatigue. Remember, it’s important to follow up with a healthcare provider to address these issues promptly and appropriately.
