People often ask me why wanted to blog when there is already an overwhelming amount of online information and I have a chance for one-to-one communication with my patients.

Well, there are two main reasons for my desire to blog.

I believe that communication is the key to success in any venture and all the more so in healthcare.

Knowledge is the power that takes away the fear of the unknown and empowers one to take charge of the situation.

I have been in this specialty for more than 25 years and I have worked in some of the best hospitals in India, the UK, and the UAE.

A common desire of patients, irrespective of nationality, culture, and religion, is to get uncomplicated and accurate solutions that cut through medical jargon. Many of my patients tell me that online formation is not individualistic and many times makes them more anxious instead of allying to their fears. The reason probably is cos most of the blogs are by non-medical writers as doctors are too busy to pen down their thoughts.

My patients feel that my simple, sincere, and straightforward way of communication relieves them of their anxiety and helps them to cope with their situation better.

I specialize in High-risk pregnancy care and Minimal access (Laparoscopic & Hysteroscopic) surgeries.

Communicating with patients in these situations is time-consuming and despite effective communication, it is difficult for patients to retain all that is said to them in one sitting. Many women, including those who are not my patients, also have similar common queries.

For instance, one of the recurring queries from women is on fasting in pregnancy during Ramadan. So, instead of answering each woman separately, I decided to blog to make the information accessible to all women, including those unknown to me.

My blog is a bridge to reach out to not just my patients but to the women of this world. It aims to help them navigate the challenging journey of womanhood with straightforward answers to their health-related questions.

My blogs reflect my learning as a woman who has been through all phases of womanhood from puberty to pregnancy, motherhood, and finally, menopause. Each stage is a milestone and has a distinctive mood. I feel grateful that I can draw upon my experiences to offer a perspective to the many concerns women face, medical and individual.

I feel privileged to be on this journey with them.
