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.

To postpone your menstrual cycle, hormonal tablets like progesterone-only medications or combined oral contraceptives may be effective options. Norethisterone is a commonly used progesterone tablet for this purpose. You’d typically start taking it three days prior to your expected period onset. The typical dose is around 5 mg three times a day, and you’ll continue this for as long as you want to delay your period, within a safe timeframe. Note that once you stop taking the tablets, your period usually arrives within two to three days. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting, to confirm that this method is appropriate for you, as they’ll take into account your medical history and any potential contraindications. Combined oral contraceptives can also be used to postpone menstruation by skipping the placebo or pill-free week and going directly to the next pack, though this method requires prior use of this birth control. Health risks such as deep vein thrombosis, hypertension and other cardiovascular issues should be evaluated, especially if you’re a regular smoker, over 35, or have other risk factors. While these medications work for short-term postponement of menstruation, they might not be suitable for everyone due to their hormonal nature. Individual responses vary, and sometimes spotting or breakthrough bleeding can occur. Avoid using them for prolonged periods as it may disrupt hormonal balance. Engage your doctor to match the best option to your lifestyle and medical background for both efficacy and safety.
