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. Rectal bleeding at your age is often due to piles or fissures, but since you now have regular bleeding with tiredness, dizziness and headache, it means you are losing more blood than your body can handle.

2. Such continuous bleeding should not be ignored, as it can reduce your blood count and make you weak.

3. Please avoid straining during stools, drink more water, take a fibre-rich diet (vegetables, fruits), and avoid spicy or oily foods for now.

4. Sitting in warm water (sitz bath) twice daily can reduce discomfort if it is due to piles or fissure.

5. However, because you are already feeling weak and dizzy, you must see a gastroenterologist or surgeon soon to rule out serious causes like ulcers, polyps or other intestinal issues.

6. Do not delay get a physical examination and basic blood test done. Early treatment will stop the bleeding and help you recover strength.

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.

Rectal bleeding can have several causes, ranging from minor to more serious. It’s crucial to determine the underlying cause to effectively address it. Common causes include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticular disease, or gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease. Since you’re experiencing frequent bleeding accompanied by symptoms like tiredness, headache, and dizziness, these could indicate significant blood loss or anemia, and it would be wise to seek medical attention promptly. Avoid self-diagnosis and treatment without a proper medical evaluation. In the meantime, there are steps to take that might help reduce immediate symptoms and manage minor causes. Eating a high-fiber diet can help reduce strain during bowel movements, potentially alleviating issues caused by hemorrhoids or fissures. Ensure you’re drinking enough water to help keep stools soft and easier to pass. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing; sometimes, switching positions can alleviate pressure on the rectal area. Use over-the-counter treatments like topical creams for hemorrhoids as a temporary measure, but inform any attending physician of their use so they have a full picture of what you have tried. However, due to the regularity and symptoms in your case, it’s important not to delay in arranging an appointment with a healthcare provider to obtain a comprehensive assessment, including potentially necessary diagnostic tests like a colonoscopy or blood work. Prompt evaluation is particularly pressing as prolonged blood loss could lead to significant health concerns, including worsening anemia or other complications, and timely intervention could greatly improve outcomes.
