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 symptoms are most likely due to constipation-related strain and bowel irritation, with a temporary menstrual delay. With proper hydration, diet, and stool softening, the pain should gradually improve. If symptoms worsen or new warning signs appear, medical evaluation is necessary.

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 am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello Kavita Thanks for clarifying. Since the pain is dull and you don’t have fever, nausea, vomiting, or blood in your stool/urine, it’s less likely to be something urgent like appendicitis or a severe infection. The pain could be due to straining during constipation, a small muscle pull, or even mild irritation in your intestines.

Here’s what you can do at home: - Warm compress: Apply a warm water bag to your lower right abdomen for relief. - Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. - Fibre-rich diet: Eat fruits (like papaya, guava), vegetables, and whole grains to soften stools. - Gentle movement: Light walking can help your bowels move. - Avoid straining: Don’t force bowel movements.

Rx- syrup Lactose - two tablespoon after dinner in warm water Tab Meftal Spas - one in morning, one at night for pain

Thank you

A right lower side stomach ache accompanied by recent constipation and changes in menstrual timing can be attributed to various causes, and considering both your gastrointestinal and gynecological symptoms is important here. A common culprit for right lower abdominal pain could be constipation itself; straining can sometimes cause residual pain or discomfort due to irritation in that area. Given your delayed menstruation, it’s also crucial to consider gynecological conditions such as ovarian cysts or possible early pregnancy, both of which can manifest with abdominal pain. However, this isn’t to overlook other potential causes like appendicitis, especially if the pain worsens, is accompanied by fever, nausea, or vomiting. In terms of self-care, ensuring adequate hydration and a high-fiber diet might alleviate constipation-related issues. Over-the-counter stool softeners could be used temporarily, but these should not be heavily relied upon without consulting a healthcare professional. Tracking cyclical changes could provide additional insights, so monitor for any additional gynecological symptoms such as unusual discharge or severe cramps. With your symptoms of sharp pain that worsens with movement like coughing and possible reproductive implications, visiting a healthcare provider will be an essential step. They can conduct a thorough physical exam and possibly recommend an ultrasound or other diagnostic tests to rule out appendix issues or gynecological disorders. If the pain suddenly becomes unbearable, seek immediate medical attention as this could indicate something more urgent, like a rupture. Addressing your menstrual delay and abdominal pain together will lead to a holistic understanding of your condition.
