I am Dr Richa Rai and i always think of myself first as someone who listens before i speak.. health care to me is not just about diagnosng or prescribing but more about building that safe space where a patient can open up fully without worry. Over years of working with people in routine chekups, chronic concerns or even simple questions about daily wellbeing, i learnt that clarity in communication matters as much as the treatment itself. I try to keep my explainations simple, break down medical terms, and make sure no one leaves with doubts hanging in their mind. My focus is very much on patient centered care and evidence based medicine, because that balance of compassion and science is what brings real results. I work across preventive care, routine health evaluations and managing ongoing conditions, but also enjoy helping people with long term wellness goals like lifestyle management, nutrition guidance, and stress related issues. Every case is different and i belive tailoring treatment makes recovery faster and more sustainable. Being part of someone’s health journey means taking responsibility together, so i make it a point to involve patients in decisions, rather than just telling them what to do. That partnership makes trust stronger, and honestly it keeps me grounded too. Whether it’s a quick consultation for something minor or supporting someone through more complex health challenges, my aim is always to provide care that is safe, respectful, and effective. I am grateful for the trust patients place in me and every new interaction reminds me why i choose this profession. At the end of the day, the greatest achievement for me is not a title but when a patient leaves my clinic with relief, clarity and hope for better health ahead.

I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

1. Vaginal itching with white discharge and burning often suggests fungal infection (Candidiasis), though bacterial or mixed infections are also possible.

2. Avoid self medication a gynecologist can confirm with a simple vaginal swab test.

3. Meanwhile, keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight synthetic underwear, and use only mild, unscented soaps.

4. Probiotics and adequate hydration can help restore healthy vaginal flora.

5. Specific antifungal or antibiotic treatment may be required depending on the test results, so please consult a doctor for proper prescription.

Vaginal itching with white discharge, burning during urination, and redness may indicate a yeast infection, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis. This is quite common and usually not serious. Over-the-counter antifungal treatments, like clotrimazole or miconazole creams, could be effective here. Follow the package instructions, generally applying it once or twice daily for about 3-7 days. If symptoms persist after this period, you might need a prescription-strength treatment from a healthcare provider. Keep the area dry and clean; wearing cotton underwear can aid in reducing moisture, which yeast thrives on. Avoid using scented hygiene products or douches, they might worsen the irritation. However, if symptoms like increased redness, intense pain, or blood in discharge occur, please see a doctor to rule out other infections or conditions like bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, or a urinary tract infection. Infections sometimes need different treatments, like antibiotics. Drinking plenty of water can help relieve burning during urination. Occasional ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be taken as needed for discomfort, but note these won’t address the underlying cause. Doubling checking any self-medication with a healthcare professional is wise, especially if it is a recurrent issue. If this condition is accompanied by fever or if you’re pregnant, immediate medical attention is necessary to ensure proper management.
