I am someone who’s spent 4.5 years doing MBBS and then 1 full year of internship—feels like longer honestly—mostly under some really solid mentors. Like, senior docs at BHU who actually knew how to teach, not just rush through rounds. Learned a lot watching them—how they handled weird cases, how they didn’t panic when things got messy, how they talked to patients who were just... scared or confused or plain exhausted. That stuff stuck with me more than any textbook could. During MBBS, I guess I didn’t know exactly what kind of doc I’d become. But slowly, while sitting through endless ward hours and running on like 3 hrs of sleep during duty nights, I kinda started figuring it out. I was drawn toward the process—the thinking part. Like, why is the fever persisting, or why that ECG looks just slightly off. It’s not always dramatic. Most of it is just paying attention, asking the right qns, knowing what *not* to ignore. And during internship... man that’s where I really felt what actual hospital life means. I’ve handled emergencies in real-time, stood through 6-hour surgeries holding retractors without losing grip (or consciousness), managed pre-round prep, wrote notes that got corrected again and again till they were right. I didn’t mind though. Being wrong meant learning. Honestly, I'm still learning. MBBS doesn’t end with a degree—it starts something. Even now, when I look back, those 5.5 years feel like the foundation of how I talk to patients, how I double-check symptoms, how I choose investigations. Not saying I'm perfect (I mess up too... like minor dosage slips I caught in time, thankfully) but I’ve seen what good medicine looks like, and I try to stick close to that. If you’re wondering whether I care about cases that are “just mild” or “probably nothing”—I do. Because I've seen how things turn if you don't take them serious early on. Sometimes it’s the little things that matter more than flashy diagnoses.

I am someone who spent 6 months working at Malti Memorial Hospital and honestly that short time kinda taught me more than I expected. I mean, you read textbooks and pass exams but then real patients walk in—with pain, fear, weird symptoms—and suddenly you're not thinking about MCQs, you're thinking about what *actually* helps. I mostly assisted with dental cases during my time there—routine and complicated both. Cleanings, fillings, extractions, and root canals were part of the daily flow, but what stood out more was watching how senior docs dealt with people. Like, not just the treatment part, but how they explained stuff... gently but clearly, especially to elder folks or scared kids. I still remember fumbling over words trying to explain post-op care to one patient and realizing I gotta get better at *talking*, not just doing. There were days when OPD would get packed, and we had to work fast but still not mess anything up. Honestly made me appreciate efficiency without losing focus. Did I forget steps sometimes? yep. Did I double-glove by mistake or drop an instrument? also yes (embarrassing). But it made me sharper, more aware. Learned to prep trays better, assist quicker, clean instruments properly, and yeah—respect every little part of the process. Even the boring ones. Also got to observe a few minor oral surgeries and that kinda sparked my interest in more advanced stuff. I wasn’t always directly involved but just being there, watching, asking doubts later... those bits add up. Even now, some habits I picked up there—like being extra careful with case history or checking occlusion twice—stick with me. That hospital wasn’t fancy or high-tech, but it was busy. Real work, real learning. And while 6 months might not sound like a lot on paper, I honestly feel it shaped a chunk of how I approach patients now—more calm, more alert, and def a bit more humble.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Primolut-N can delay periods even after stopping, and it may take up to a week or more for bleeding to start. If you had unprotected sex on 25th August, there is a small pregnancy risk depending on your cycle timing. To be sure, do a blood pregnancy test (β-hCG) or a home urine test after 14 days from the last sexual contact; also consult a Gynecologist if periods don’t start.

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.

Hello dear
See the medication you have mentioned is given for either delaying period or treatment of certain conditions like endometriosis
I think the periods are delayed due to this medication effect only and you are not pregnant.
However for confirmation please get following tests done and share results with gynacolologist in person for better clarification
Serum prolactin
Serum progesterone
Serum estrogen
Serum TSH
Pelvic USG
Urine analysis
Pregnancy strip test
Kindly proceed as per confirmation from concerned doctor only

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.

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.

Most likely, your periods are just delayed due to Primolut-N withdrawal. But since you had sex on the last day, pregnancy is possible. Please do a urine pregnancy test if no period by 4–5 Sept.
Thank you.

Dr. Aarav Deshmukh

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

Primolut N, containing norethisterone, is commonly used to delay menstruation, and one of its effects can be delay of your period even after stopping the medication. While it is possible that the hormonal changes from Primolut N are contributing to the delay, it’s important to consider the possibility of pregnancy, especially since you were sexually active around that time.
First, you should take a home pregnancy test to determine if pregnancy is the cause. These tests are generally reliable around the time of a missed period. If the test is negative, it could be that your body is just taking a little longer to regulate after the course of Primolut N. Periods can sometimes take up to a week or two to return to normal after stopping the medication.
However, if your period doesn’t start within a week after a negative pregnancy test, another test would be advisable to rule out pregnancy conclusively. Also, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss these symptoms and this delay, especially if you have been experiencing any unusual symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or discomfort. They may recommend a more thorough evaluation to rule out other potential causes like hormonal imbalances or other health concerns.
Articulate behaviors and factors such as stress, changes in weight, lifestyle changes or other medications you might be taking, as they can also influence your menstrual cycle. In cases where self-diagnosis isn’t clear, a healthcare provider can offer more specific guidance based on a full clinical picture. If pregnancy is not desired and you’re concerned about future occurrences, discussing contraceptive options might be a wise next step to ensure more predictable control over your cycle.
