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 HPV and cervical inflammation are common and usually treatable without surgery. You can have sex with protection, and most HPV infections clear naturally with proper follow-up and medication.

There is no need to panic just regular medical care and monitoring.

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 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.

Hello

Sim, na maioria dos casos você pode ter relação sexual, mesmo tendo HPV e inflamação no colo do útero — desde que não haja dor intensa, sangramento ou orientação médica para evitar.

Pontos importantes: A inflamação (cervicite) precisa de tratamento (creme, antibiótico ou óvulos, conforme a causa) HPV geralmente NÃO precisa de cirurgia Cirurgia só é indicada se houver lesões de alto grau (ex.: NIC 2/3), o que não é a maioria dos casos

Durante o tratamento:

Prefira usar preservativo Evite relação se houver dor, ardor ou sangramento Trate infecções associadas (corrimento)

Quando se preocupar:

Sangramento após a relação Dor forte Corrimento com mau cheiro

Converse com sua ginecologista para confirmar o tipo de HPV e o grau da inflamação.

Thank you

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.

Entendo que você esteja preocupada com o resultado do seu exame de colposcopia. Vamos esclarecer suas dúvidas. 1. Relações Sexuais: Ter HPV e inflamação no colo do útero não significa necessariamente que você não pode ter relações sexuais. No entanto, é importante que você converse com seu médico sobre isso. Em alguns casos, pode ser recomendado evitar relações sexuais até que a inflamação seja tratada, especialmente se houver dor ou desconforto. 2. Tratamento: O HPV é uma infecção viral que, na maioria dos casos, pode ser controlada pelo sistema imunológico. A inflamação no colo do útero pode ser tratada com medicamentos ou, em alguns casos, pode ser necessário um procedimento cirúrgico, dependendo da gravidade da inflamação e das lesões. O tratamento específico deve ser discutido com seu médico, que pode recomendar a melhor abordagem para o seu caso.

Thank you

I am currently working as a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon at Graphic Era Medical College & Hospital, Dehradun. It's a role that keeps me on my toes, honestly. I handle a pretty wide range of urology cases—stones, prostate issues, urinary tract obstructions, infections, you name it. Some are straightforward, others way more complex than you expect at first glance. Every patient walks in with a different story and that’s what keeps the work real for me. Kidney transplant surgery, though, that’s a whole different zone. You’re not just working on anatomy—you’re dealing with timelines, matching, medications, family dynamics, emotional pressure... and yeah, very precise coordination. I’m part of a team that manages the entire transplant process—from evaluation to surgery to post-op care. Not gonna lie, it’s intense. But seeing someone who’s been on dialysis for years finally get a new shot at life—there’s nothing really like that feeling. In the OR, I’m detail-focused. Outside of it, I try to stay accessible—patients don’t always need answers right away, sometimes they just need to feel heard. I believe in walking them through what’s going on rather than just giving reports and instructions. Especially in transplant cases, trust matters. And clear, honest conversation helps build that. Urology itself is such a misunderstood field sometimes. People ignore symptoms for years because it feels “awkward” or they think it’s not serious until it becomes unmanageable. I’ve had patients who came in late just because they were embarassed to talk about urine flow or testicular pain. That’s why I also try to make the space judgment-free—like whatever it is, we’ll figure it out. At the end of the day, whether I’m scrubbing in for surgery or doing OPD rounds, I just want to make sure what I do *actually* helps. That the effort’s not wasted. And yeah, some days are frustrating—some procedures don’t go clean, some recoveries take longer than they should—but I keep showing up, cause the work’s worth doing. Always is.

Hi there,

· Normal Relations: Yes, you can have sexual relations. HPV is extremely common. However, using condoms is strongly recommended to reduce transmission risk to a partner. · Surgical Resolution: No, surgery is not the only solution. Cervical inflammation often resolves. For HPV, your immune system usually clears the virus on its own. Treatment (like surgery) is only for removing abnormal cells caused by HPV, not the virus itself. · Key Action: You must discuss this with your gynecologist. They will monitor any cell changes via Pap/colposcopy and only recommend a procedure (like LEEP) if truly necessary. · Unusual Discharge: This is likely from the inflammation. Your doctor can provide appropriate treatment for it.

Manage the condition with your doctor’s plan; do not assume surgery is needed.

Ter relações sexuais quando se tem HPV e inflamação no colo do útero é uma questão que precisa de algumas considerações. É importante primeiro conversar com seu médico sobre a natureza e a gravidade de sua infecção e inflamação. HPV é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível e, enquanto algumas formas do vírus são de baixo risco, outras são associadas com lesões precancerígenas no colo do útero. Se você e seu parceiro estão cientes e tomam precauções — como usar preservativos — pode-se reduzir o risco de transmissão, mas não eliminá-lo completamente, considerando também que o HPV pode ser transmitido mesmo com o uso de preservativos.

Quanto ao tratamento, nem todos os casos de infecção por HPV e inflamação no colo do útero necessitam de cirurgia. O tratamento depende de vários fatores, incluindo a presença de lesões precancerosas ou câncer. Em muitos casos, o sistema imunológico do corpo pode combater o HPV por conta própria ao longo do tempo. Para a inflamação, outras abordagens como medicamentos, modificações no estilo de vida, ou tratamento tópico podem ser adequados. Cirurgia, como conização ou outro procedimento para remover lesões, é geralmente considerada apenas quando há alterações significativas identificadas. É crucial seguir as recomendações do seu profissional de saúde, fazer exames de acompanhamento regularmente, e discutir todas as suas opções de tratamento para tomar decisões informadas. Verifique se todos os seus exames de rotina estão em andamento para monitorar qualquer mudança na saúde do colo do útero.

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

HPV é uma infecção comum e, na maioria dos casos, o próprio organismo elimina o vírus com o tempo. Você pode ter relações sexuais, mas é recomendado usar preservativo, pois isso reduz o risco de transmissão e reinfecção. A inflamação do colo do útero geralmente pode ser tratada com medicações locais ou orais, dependendo da causa. Cirurgia não é necessária na maioria dos casos, apenas quando existem lesões específicas que precisam ser removidas, conforme avaliação do ginecologista. Siga o acompanhamento regular com Papanicolau/colposcopia, pois o controle periódico é muito importante.

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.

A colposcopy showing Human Papillomavirus Infection (HPV) with cervical inflammation is common, and most HPV infections clear on their own without surgery; treatment depends on the Pap smear/biopsy results and the grade of any lesion.

You can have sexual intercourse, but it is strongly recommended to use condoms to reduce transmission and reinfection risk, and avoid sex if you have pain, significant discharge, or active treatment ongoing.

Please follow up with a Gynecologist to clarify whether you only need observation and repeat testing or if procedures (like cauterization or LEEP) are indicated, since surgery is only required for certain precancerous changes—not for HPV alone.
