I am currently in my final year postgraduate training in MS Obstetrics and Gynecology, and this journey so far has been layered with many different kinds of experiences. My early foundation was during internship at Narayana Medical College & Hospitals, Nellore (March 2020 to March 2021). That one year was intense—handling patients in wards, assisting in emergency cases, learning how every decision no matter small has impact. Right after that I worked as a government doctor under 104 service at Palamaner, Chittoor district. It was different from medical college, resources limited, patients coming from rural backgrounds, but it taught me value of listening carefully and working with what is available. Later I also worked as online consultant with Letsdoc, where consultations were virtual. At first I doubted if online could actually work, but it showed me how important accessibility is, especially for patients who hesitate to visit hospitals or live too far. It also trained me to be precise and clear with words, since physical exam was not always possible. For the last 3 years I have been a junior resident in OBGYN, gaining real depth in managing both obstetric and gynecological cases. From antenatal checkups to managing high risk pregnancies, from normal deliveries to cesareans, I got exposure to a wide range. I also assisted and performed in gynecological surgeries and handled emergencies that arrive suddenly, like ectopic pregnancy or postpartum hemorrhage. These experiences shaped my confidence and also taught me that calmness in those moments is as important as knowledge. Now as I near the completion of my MS, I carry forward learning from each stage. My focus is not just on clinical management but also patient communication, cause women often need reassurance as much as medical treatment. Each posting and role has made me adapt, whether in rural setting, online platform, or tertiary hospital, and all together they define the doctor I am becoming.

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

Hello friend, As per your symptoms, you may be suffering from a condition called alopecia areata in which there is patchy hair loss.

For management: 1. Take proper sleep. 2. Avoid stress 3. Your condition might need Steroids use either locally or injections. So, consult a dermatologist for proper examination.

Hair loss can be really concerning, especially when it happens quickly and unexpectedly. From what you’ve described, it’s possible that what you’re experiencing could be related to stress or nutritional deficiencies, both of which are common around exam times when routines are disrupted. Additionally, the lack of sleep during stressful periods can also contribute to hair health issues. A few steps can help address this problem. First, restoring a regular sleep schedule helps your body recover and can positively affect hair growth. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Nutritionally, make sure you’re consuming a balanced diet with plenty of iron, proteins, and vitamins particularly like Vitamin D, B-vitamins, and Zinc, which play crucial roles in maintaining healthy hair. It might also be prudent to take a multivitamin if your diet may be lacking. Managing stress through exercise, meditation, or mindfulness techniques can also support overall health and potentially improve hair quality. Since you’ve mentioned your hair has developed patches, it could be a condition called alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that sometimes requires medical intervention. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider or dermatologist to get a thorough evaluation. They may suggest treatments like topical corticosteroids or other interventions based on the specifics of your case. If it turns out to be an acute telogen effluvium — caused by stress, trauma, or illness — hair usually regrows over several months once the underlying trigger is addressed. But do ensure a professional assesses the situation to rule out other causes like thyroid issues or iron deficiency anemia.
