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.

Isha as your tvs showed there is nothing in uterus i would suggest you to repeat and tell your beta hcg levels to check for ectopic pregnancy
Also taking of abortion pills should be done under guidance of gynecologist as heavy bleeding and other severe issues are associated with the process of done without professional care

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.

At 3 weeks, it is often too early to see a pregnancy on ultrasound, and sometimes only the thickened uterine lining is visible. Abortion pills are given only after confirming that the pregnancy is inside the uterus (to rule out ectopic pregnancy). Please wait 1–2 weeks and repeat the scan/β-hCG test, and then consult a gynecologist before starting any tablets for a safe and complete procedure.

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.

Dr. Jitesh Satija

I am working as an obstetrician and gynecologist, after completing my MS in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2020 from Medical College, Kolkata. The training years there were tough, demanding long hours, sleepless nights and constant exposure to both routine and emergency cases. But they shaped me into a doctor who can stay calm and focused even when the situation is unpredictable. Since then, I have worked for around 5 years across different medical colleges and hospitals, which gave me a very wide clinical exposure. Each setup brought different challenges—some had resource limitations, some had high patient loads, some had complicated referral cases—and all of them helped me grow. Currently I am practicing at BLK Max Hospital, Delhi, where my main work revolve around managing high-risk obstetric cases and a broad range of gynecological conditions. High-risk pregnancies demand extra vigilance, cause one small change can shift the entire outcome for both mother and baby. I have been trained and experienced in handling such cases with a balance of caution and decisiveness, whether it involve preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, multiple pregnancy, or preterm labor. I also hold a strong interest in minimal access surgeries in gynecology. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures allow patients quicker recovery, less pain and fewer complications compared to traditional approaches. For me, learning and practicing minimal access surgery is about constantly updating my skills and ensuring patients get the benefit of modern surgical care. My approach has always been comprehensive—medicine and surgery are important, but so is counseling, explaining, and reassuring patients and families. Women often hesitate to share openly about gynecological problems, and I try to create an environment where they feel heard and supported without judgement. Looking back, these years in obstetrics and gynecology taught me that every delivery, every surgery, and every consultation is unique. There are no perfect formulas, just experience, knowledge, patience, and empathy to guide the way. And that’s what I aim to carry forward in my practice everyday.

Hello
If the hcg is positive and no pregnancy is seen on the ultrasound, we call it Pregnancy of Unknown Location.
You should not be taking abortion pills as there are still chances that the pregnancy might not be in the uterus. Follow up us required

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.

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.

your reports suggest very early pregnancy, but it is not yet visible on ultrasound. You must repeat β-hCG after 48 hrs & repeat USG after 5–7 days to confirm if pregnancy is intrauterine. Do not take abortion pills now. If confirmed intrauterine ≤7 weeks, medical abortion pills can be given under gynecologist guidance.
Don’t take self medication you might die of bleeding.

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.

At 3 weeks, ultrasound may not always show a pregnancy sac clearly; it usually becomes visible after 5 to 6 weeks.
Your HCG blood test showing positive means pregnancy is there, but the exact location (uterus vs outside) still needs confirmation.
Do not take abortion pills on your own right now because it is unsafe if pregnancy is not yet confirmed inside the uterus. Taking pills in such a case can cause serious complications like incomplete abortion or missing an ectopic pregnancy.
The safe step is to repeat the ultrasound (TVS) after 7 to 10 days and follow up with your gynecologist for confirmation.
Once pregnancy is confirmed inside the uterus, your doctor can guide you on safe medical abortion pills (only up to 9 weeks) or other options.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hi ISHA,
I think its very early to detect pregnancy through ultrasound since you are only 3 weeks.
It may be visible at 5-6 weeks.
In other hand;
A thick endometrium with no visible pregnancy on TVS is a common reason to call the situation a pregnancy of unknown location (PUL).
Abortion meds before confirming this location and growth can be unsafe.
Repeat Beta HCG test again after 48 hours.
Repeat ultrasound at 6 weeks.
Then you can act under guidance of your gynaecologist dear.
Taking pills without supervision of a gynaecologist is unsafe and dangerous.
So Don’t rush dear.
Thank you

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.

At three weeks pregnant, it’s common for an ultrasound not to show evidence of a pregnancy yet because it may be too early to see anything in the uterus. The thickening of the uterine lining indicates your body’s preparation for pregnancy, but the lack of visible pregnancy structures at this stage is not uncommon. If your beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels are confirming pregnancy, you have some important decisions to make. Abortion pills, typically a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, are most effective up to 10 weeks of gestation. However, it’s critical to have a healthcare provider confirm the pregnancy location, typically with a follow-up ultrasound, to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, which would require different medical management. If the provider confirms it is an intrauterine pregnancy, they will discuss your options, making sure you understand what’s involved with medical abortion. You should also discuss any potential risks, benefits, and what to expect during the medication process. Be sure to follow the healthcare professional’s instructions carefully and set up the appropriate follow-up care to ensure everything proceeds safely. If there’s any pain, heavy bleeding, or unusual symptoms, it’s important to contact a healthcare provider immediately. They can offer guidance tailored to your specific situation, as well as support through any decisions you choose to make.
