In fact, medical loans is one area which is yet to penetrate the Indian healthcare market as a majority of patients are either paying in cash or doing top-ups to pay their medical bills. But there are a large number of patients who are is in dire need of medical treatment and have no medical funds at all. In order to fulfil this need, Credihealth is making it convenient for patients to pay their medical bills through an EMI model. We are also leveraging our superior network of service providers and procurement supply chain to reduce the overall cost of care in the ecosystem."

Sugar may be the new cholesterol!

2017-07-17T17:26:00.002+05:30

AHMEDABAD: Leading cardiologists from across Delhi and India debated how 'sugar might be the new cholesterol' for people at risk of heart disease, as any excess amount consumed is converted to fat! Dr G R Kane, a senior cardiologist from Hinduja Hospital, said that while people are mindful of the fact that consuming high-fat food may increase cholesterol levels, there is little awareness about the adverse impact of eating excess sugar. "Sugar is still associated with diabetes but it gets directly converted to fat. There needs to be awareness about consuming sugar in moderation," Kane said.

Sugar and many other controversial factors affecting heart health and cardiac disease treatment were discussed by experts at 'national debate' 2017 which revived a similar exercise undertaken by leading physicians of Gujarat — Dr Harshad Gandhi, Dr Jyotindra Bhatt, and Dr Premal Thakore — in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The debate was revived by course co-ordinators, cardiologists Dr Sameer Dani, Dr Sunil Thanvi, and Dr Rashmit Pandya.

Study settles debate over head position following stroke

2017-06-23T11:13:00.001+05:30

New Delhi, 22nd June 2017: Stroke or Brain Attack is the leading cause of death and disability in the world. A trial involving more than 11,000 patients has revealed sitting up or lying flat after a stroke makes no difference to their recovery.

The research led by The George Institute for Global Health set out to discover if the bed position of people with the most common form of stroke, (acute ischemic) reduced death or disability.

Some studies had indicated lying flat may improve recovery by increasing blood flow in the main arteries to the brain, but there were fears it also raised the risks of pneumonia.

The worldwide results published in the New England Journal of Medicine found the position of a patient’s head does not affect outcomes.

Lead investigator Professor Craig Anderson of The George Institute of Global Health, Sydney said: "Many stroke specialists believe that the way the body is positioned after stroke makes a difference to their patient’s recovery. But, there was really no conclusive evidence to back this up. We know the first 24 hours of care post-stroke is crucial to recovery, so it was vital to find out if sitting up or lying down flat could make any difference."

National lead Principal Investigator Professor Jeyaraj D Pandian, Honorary Professor, the George Institute for Global Health & Head of Neurology at Christian Medical College, Ludhiana stated that "Head position does not matter so much over and above good nursing care. It does not help with recovery, with mortality or how a patient feels. However, we also found there were no significant harms associated with either lying down flat or sitting up."

The study is the largest ever randomised nursing care trial and took place at 114 hospitals in nine countries (UK, Australia, China, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Chile, Brazil, Colombia).Professor Pandian added, Patients were either assigned to lie flat with their face upwards or with their head raised to at least 30 degrees during the first 24 hours after being admitted to the hospital for a stroke. They were then assessed 90 days later. From India 499 patients were enrolled from 6 stroke centers (Christian Medical College, Ludhiana; PGIMER, Chandigarh; Dr. Ramesh Superspeciality Hospitals, Guntur; SCTIMST Trivandrum and Baby Memorial Hospital, Calicut).

Professor Anderson said the results were very reassuring to lower to middle income countries, where lying flat is more commonly practiced due to the lack of motorized beds.

"What we found is that patients found lying flat somewhat uncomfortable, but it certainly didn’t make their condition any worse. Our findings suggest a review of current clinical practice guidelines is warranted," Professor Pandian added. The majority of patients who took part in the study had mild to moderate severity strokes, with an average age of 68 years.

Dealing with Ear Pain while Scuba Diving

2017-06-19T17:57:00.002+05:30

Ear pain while scuba diving is a common problem encountered by almost every diver at some point; it is also called ear squeeze. The primary reason of this can be due to the difference in pressure between the ear and the outer environment. There can be many other causes and a person experiencing such sensation must see an ENT Specialistfor a better diagnostic.

ENT Specialist Explain the Cause for Ear Pain While Scuba Diving

The pain occurs when the diver descends deeper underwater; it is because the water pressure on the tympanic membrane (ear drum) increases. The pain increases as the diver descend deeper as every 33 feet deeper under the water the atmospheric pressure changes by 1 atmosphere.

The eustachian tube plays a major in equalizing this pressure. Under normal circumstance, this tube opens and allows the pressure on the eardrum to balance with the water pressure outside in the sea. But if the eustachian tube does not open then due to the water pressure the eardrum is pushed inward causing inflaming and stretching of the ear canal and causing pain.

If the diver continues to descend deeper in the sea ignoring the pain, the eardrums may burst causing vomiting, nausea, and dizziness because the seawater rushes into the middle ear.

Some of the reasons why the Eustachian tube might not equalize can be attributed to things like smoking, extreme ear cleaning, allergies, respiratory infections, nasal polyps, and previous facial trauma.

Dealing with the Pain

It is essential that the diver immediately attends to the pain. The best way to treat or suspend the pain is to avoid diving for few days and consult a doctor. In the initial stage, oral decongestants and nasal spray might be administered to help with the eustachian tube and if an allergy persists then the physician may prescribe antihistamines.

Pain medication and ear drops may be advised to relieve the pain in the ear. If the eardrum is ruptured then an antibiotic might be required. Oral steroids may need to be administered if the patient is suffering from facial paralysis.

Few Tips for Easy Equalizing

Few precautionary measures can be practiced by the diver to avoid ear pain while diving and help the process of equalizing.

The diver can start the dive early and try to equalize the ear, it has been observed that chewing gum can help in the process. One must also observe a pop in the ears as it indicates that the eustachian tubes are opening.

It helps if you descend feet-first; it has been widely observed that if you descend feet-first, equalizing happens faster. Extend and look up to help your eustachian tubes open. ENT Specialists say that if you experience pain that means your tube haven’t opened and you need to stop.

Avoid the consumption of food that prompts the production of mucus; food like milk. Stay away from tobacco and alcohol as it irritates the mucus membranes and in turn increases the production of more mucus. Prevent water from going up the nose as it again increases the mucus production.

ENT Specialists Advice

This is a serious issue with diving and no diver should take it lightly. It can lead to serious damages to the nose, the ear and even the throat. It is also observed that some threat to the brain is also posed. The affected person should consult the doctor if they have experienced any of the symptoms or pain in the ear after or during diving. It is also advised that the diver takes a partner with them while going diving.

Post Heart Attack Angioplasty

2017-06-08T14:24:00.000+05:30

Also commonly known as balloon angioplasty this process is an endovascular procedure which is used to widen up the blocked or narrowed arteries of the heart and veins. A coronary angioplasty is performed with the help of a balloon-tipped catheter. This catheter is inserted in the wrist or the groin in order to enlarge the narrowing coronary artery.

In some other cases, the catheter contains a stainless steel mesh known as a stent, which is used to keep the blood vessel in an open position and has the ability to remain in that place even after the balloon has been deflated and removed.

Usually performed immediately after a heart attack, preferably within twenty-four hours, getting the procedure done at the right time considerably reduces your risk of having a successive heart attack.

It is important to understand the reason why cardiac arrests occur. The coronary artery gets blocked due to the plaque that gets left behind in the walls of the arteries of the heart. The blockage occurs because of large amounts of cholesterol intake, lack of physical exercise and unhealthy lifestyle choices such as excessive drinking or smoking.

Since heart failures and heart attacks are grave medical emergency, immediate action is the key to minimize the extent and amount of damage caused. Depending on the type of facilities available in the hospital, a procedure like this can cost anywhere between one to three lakhs in India.

Admittedly, it is a little heavy on the pocket, but it is highly recommended and very favorable in the long run to consult an experienced doctor as your muscles would be less likely to suffer any sort of damage if your doctor is able to restore the blood supply quickly.

There are benefits as well as risks involved with post heart attack angioplasty. A careful understanding of both will allow you to choose wisely and minimize the implicated risks.

Benefits:

Research suggests that a post heart attack angioplasty drastically reduces the risks of further heart attacks thus having the potential to save lives. It is possibly the most efficient method of getting the blood flowing quickly towards the heart. It is also very helpful in relieving chest pains caused by blockages and decreasing other related symptoms. In comparison to an open heart surgery, this procedure is definitely less complicated, requires lesser post-operation care, and allows its patients to recover more quickly.

Risks:

Every medical procedure comes with a certain amount of risk attached to it. This invasive procedure may cause you to react against the anesthetic or the dye being used. Other materials used in the process can also cause a side effect. Other types of risks that are hugely associated with the procedure are:

Clotting, bleeding or bruising at the point where the insertion is made.

People suffering from existing kidney problems may experience further kidney damages.

Damages may occur to the blood vessel, artery or the heart valve.

Although this procedure is associated with the risk of heart attack, the possibility is very low.

The important thing to remember is that an emergency procedure is not the complete cure for blocked arteries. In several cases, where a stent isn’t used, the coronary artery can become narrow again, known as restenosis.

Avoid opting for a seemingly pocket-friendly procedure, and go for the complete solution that’ll give you longer lasting results.

Life after Angioplasty:

One of the main reasons for heart failures or cardiac arrests is an unhealthy lifestyle. An improvement in diet and an appropriate amount of exercising guarantees a healthier lifestyle and a decreased chance of your coronary arteries being blocked. Consult your doctor before going in for exercises like cycling, jogging, and swimming as it substantially increases your heart rate. Alternatively, a cardiac rehabilitation program might be the best way to go. A complete and healthy change in your lifestyle (diet, food, and exercise) is the most recommended course of action to avoid any further complications.

Fortis Heart Failure Centre in Chennai performs Angioplasty for the cost of one and a half lakh rupees (1,50,000) along with a private ward and excluding the stent. Whereas, in Sarvana Heart Hospital Chennai, the procedure in a private ward can cost around one lakh and twenty thousand rupees (1,20,000). Rates and costs, of course, vary from ward to ward and hospital to hospital, but a general inference can be drawn from the above illustrations.

Know Causes of Diarrhoea in Children: Consult Paediatrician

2017-05-17T16:20:00.000+05:30

In medical terms Diarrhoea is a symptom of a bowel infection where the body eliminates itself from germs; most cases this lasts for few days to a week. Nausea, fever, stomach ache, dehydration, watery stools, and cramps are very common symptoms if a child is having Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea in children is very common compared to adults, what are the common causes Diarrhoea in children? Let us know the some of the causes of diarrhoea and how to treat them before consulting a Paediatrician.

Common Diarrhoea Symptoms in Children:

Viruses are one of the most common causes of diarrhoea, children can get infected by viruses like bacteria, rotavirus, salmonella and via parasites like giardia at times. It is crucial to know the first steps of treatment in such cases, as preventing fluid loss becomes one of the top most priorities.

In the case of infants, ORS (oral rehydration solution) and frequent feeding of breastmilk are always advisable. Having said that, water alone is not adequate as it doesn’t contain enough potassium, sodium and other required nutrients to ensure 100% rehydration for a child. Consult a pediatrician near you to understand how much fluid intake is required and how to keep a close watch on dehydration.

Diarrhoea in kids can be due to food poisoning as well, though in normal cases children may vomit frequently and within 24 to 48 hrs this tends to go away. Treatment of diarrhoea due to food poisoning is almost similar diarrhoea caused by other infection; keep children hydrated and consult a doctor or a pediatrician in case the situation is not under control after 48 hours.

Another cause of diarrhoea in children can be due to some of the irritable bowel disease, the side effect of any antibiotics, too much intake of candies or sugary foods, allergies to certain food items and celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder which mainly affects the small intestine).

Know the preventive steps:

There are few simple ways to keep your children away from Diarrhoea, try to follow some of the preventive steps mentioned below:

● Follow food hygiene: Keep healthy with proper storage of food, handling them well and, cooking food after proper washing of vegetables.

● Washing hands: A simple and effective way to stay away from stomach infections is following the rule and wash your hands after and before eating.

● Cleanliness: Toddlers often tends to grab things and get it in their mouth, so keep away things that may not be suitable for children and ensure their toys and other items are clean.

Be cautious:

● Never ignore diarrhoea in children, keep a check, as severe dehydration can be dangerous; it may cause brain damage, seizures, and even death. So never avoid these signs of dehydration in children:

● Children being very thirsty or frequently thirsty

● Crying but no tears in eyes

● Dryness in skin or mouth

● Little urination which is dark in color

● Dizziness and lack of energy

In such cases consulting a specialist or a pediatrician to treat a potential infection is always a better option.

Pollution and Heart Disease: Is There a Connection? - NDTV News

2017-04-15T14:54:00.000+05:30

A recent Greenpeace India report, published at the beginning of 2017, shows that air pollution results in 1.2 million deaths every year in the country - Delhi being the most polluted. Continuous exposure to high levels of pollution can lead to long-term heath effects like chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and even cause damage to the brain. A group of researchers, from the University of Washington School of Public Health, have now found a strong link between exposure to bad quality air and higher incidence of heart disease.

According to their findings which are a part of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, an ongoing US study examining the lifestyle factors that predict the development of cardiovascular disease, exposure to high levels of air pollution may increase the risk of heart disease by lowering the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), commonly known as the "good" cholesterol. Imagine this, you are breathing in and breathing out the same toxic air every second. It is bound to have some impact on your physical health.

For the study, 6,654 middle-aged and older US adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds were examined. It was seen that people living in areas with high levels of traffic-related air pollution had lower HDL levels. Moreover, exposure to high particulate matter over a period of three months was associated with a a lower HDL particle number. These changes in the HDL levels may appear even after a brief exposure to air pollution, the authors noted. Further, it was seen that men and women responded to air pollutants differently. While HDL levels fell when faced with higher pollution exposure for both sexes, the magnitude was greater in women.

Low levels of good cholesterol can be an indicator of heart disease. Low levels of good cholesterol may be often accompanied by increased triglyceride levels which is bad for your heart. Pollution can also cause inflammatory effects in the heart which can lead to blood vessel rupture causing high blood pressure or even heart failure.

Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery And Hospitals List

2016-10-29T12:56:00.001+05:30

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure is a significant coronary heart
Operation performed on greater than a half-million individuals every year. Typically, the restoration time is 4 to eight weeks after surgical procedure. However, much less invasive strategies that are provided by Washington University coronary heart surgeons are altering the face of this kind of surgical procedure.

CABG makes use of blood vessels from the affected person’s chest or leg to go round or “bypass” clogged coronary (coronary heart) arteries. One extremity of a vessel is connected to the aorta (the big artery that carries blood from the heart), and the opposite extremity is connected to the coronary artery beneath marks at which it’s blocked. The new channel permits blood to circulate to the heart.

Traditional CABG surgical procedure requires a big incision dividing the breastbone and use of the heart-lung machine. In the much less invasive method, a doctor inserts an endoscopic digital camera and surgical devices by quarter-inch openings within the affected person’s pores and skin. The surgeon sits at a pc console that shows the surgical area and holds handles that look similar to common surgical devices. The surgeon's delicate motions are mechanically relayed to a pc management system that is called the robotic.

The surgeon’s motion is digitized, and the digital info is then filtered to recapture all tremors. Info is used to manage two robotic arms connected to the working room desk. These arms maintain the surgical devices that enter the affected person via the quarter-inch ports.

Benefits of minimally invasive CABG might embrace much less postoperative ache, a shorter hospital keep and a shorter restoration interval. Currently, this endoscopic surgical procedure is readily available |just for patients who want a single bypass (one artery to restore). However, inside just a few years, the approach may be accessible to different coronary heart patients.

Anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas Los represent approximately one third of the adult brain tumors and astrocytomas are the most common type of brain tumor in kids, according to the National Cancer Institute. Anaplastic and glioblastomas, astrocytomas develop from brain cells called astrocytes that surround and protect other nerve cells. The types of brain cancer are differentiated by “grades ". A grade is normal or abnormal shape of the cells is. Each type of these brain cancers is given a rating of I to IV.

Symptoms:
Since the brain is the control room of the physique, the cancer is found in this area can affect many different areas of the body.

Hearing problems
A change in the pattern of headaches
Unexplained nausea or vomiting
Vision problems, double vision or loss of peripheral vision, such as blurred vision
Gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm or a leg
Difficulty with balance
Confusion in everyday matters

The headaches are often related to brain cancer, but some people may go without headaches developers, Sloan said. That's not usually the case, however.

The headache is a signal that the tumor is pressing on the normal brain and increased intracranial pressure, "said neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Park, director of the Minimally Invasive Brain and Spine Center at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.” Therefore, it is real pain is present most of the time, if the tumor is large enough . Also, the location is very important. Depending on a part of the brain affected, symptoms can differ from weakness, numbness, speech difficulties, seizures, memory etc.

Treatment:
There are many processes to treat brain cancer. Remedy depends on where the tumor is placed, how advanced the cancer and the type of tumor. Some options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, radiosurgery and drug therapy, according to the Mayo Clinic. Survival rates of those diagnosed with brain cancer varies depending on the type of cancer, its progression and various other factors.

Air Pollution, Cancer & Coronary Artery Disease - Is there a relation?

2016-06-09T18:12:00.000+05:30

A research conducted by a team of industry experts, a renowned oncologist and an experienced cardiologist suggests - Air pollution, caused mainly due to exhaust of vehicles in densely populated cities, has a serious and life-threatening effect on health.

The research studied the effect on lungs and heart of the people who are subjected to continual exposure to particulate matter PM2.5 that has diameter less than 2.5 micrometers and particulate matter PM10 that has diameter less than 10. It was found that air pollution multifolds the possibility of having lung cancer, even though if the pollution levels are under recommended guidelines. This means that a person can get lung cancer, simply because of the where he lives. With every increase of 5 mgm per cm increase in PM2.5, the possibility of getting lung cancer increased by a whooping 18% and every 10 mgm per cm increase of PM10 increased the risk of lung cancer by 22%. These shocking numbers estimated that people subjected to exposure of PM2.5 and PM10, developed lung cancer in long term, typically over an average life span of 13 years of continuous exposure.

The other shocking effect that was observed was on heart. The data showed air pollution increased the risk of cardiovascular disease in short term. The cardiologist estimated that any reduction in air pollution could considerably reduce the number of cases of coronary artery disease and lower healthcare costs.

Governments has taken major steps to reduce the air pollution levels in densely populated cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Chennai, Kolkata. Strong bills have been passed in the parliament to curb air pollution at industrial levels. However, citizen will have to step in and take responsibility in reducing air pollution due to vehicular traffic.

How to Prevent A Neurological Problem

2016-03-16T10:35:00.000+05:30

While it is common prejudice that neurosurgeons are only associated with performing complicated operations on your brain and spine, the reality is slightly different. More than often a doctor’s time is also dedicated to treating your back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and even leg pain.

Most people assume that doctors are to be consulted in problems regarding the brain and only when a surgical method is prescribed for treatment, but however fail to even consult one in problems that may not require a surgical solution, and therefore may deter, or may even worsen their condition. While it is true that such doctors mostly work on the brain and spine, they also treat many painful conditions, such as low back pain, epilepsy, stroke, sciatica, pinched nerves and chronic pain. Many a times, these problems may occur in one part and the symptom may show up in another. It is necessary, therefore for a proper consultation from a dedicated doctor. Diagnosis of such a condition and coming up with a treatment plan is what these doctors do in such a condition. Not such a scary thing to do now, right?

Ayan Mukherjee from Kolkata was constantly ailed from a lower back pain from over a month, which eventually had made it difficult for him to clock into his office. Like many of us, Ayan was also apprehensive about consulting a doctor but eventually gave in and called up Credihealth and asked us for advice. We suggested a neurosurgeon in kolkata who was renowned for treating multitude of patients. Heeding to the doctor’s advice, Ayan now attends his weekly physiotherapy sessions and lives a pain free and healthier life.

Treat your migraine before it’s too late

2016-03-11T09:54:00.003+05:30

Headaches are not something uncommon. A little stress- and they are here... in our 'heads'. However, migraine is a disorder connected to one's nervous system. It is described as a chronic neurological disease that may vary to moderate to severe headaches that recur.

Typically, the headache affects one half of the head and lasts from 2 to 72 hours. Not just this, people who suffer have additional symptoms like nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, sound or smell.

The persons who experience migraines react to certain triggers. These include lack of or too much sleep, skipped meals, stress and anxiety, weather changes among other contributory factors. A very similar trigger affected Mrs. Gayatri in Hyderabad few days back. Exactly at 4:15 pm, when she had already skipped two meals in a row and was under a lot of stress due to her office work, she experienced this searing pain in her temples. She couldn't concentrate on her work. All her efforts started going in vain.

At that moment, all she could think of was a doctor. However, she didn't know any suitable one. Then suddenly, something struck her. 'EUREKA' she decided to take help from Credihealth. It helped her find a suitable neurologist in Hyderabad. Even after weeks, she remembered that incident. However, now she was happy. She had got one of the best neurologists in the city who diagnosed and gave her the medicines. After that day, she promised herself that she would never skip her meals and medicines.

Neurologist in Bangalore helps a family come to terms with Epilepsy

2016-03-10T18:12:00.000+05:30

“What a beautiful day!” a 30-something Sunil Mukherjee thought to himself while sipping warm honey-flavored tea, sitting in her cozy balcony. After about 10 minutes, when he got up from his chair, he started feeling dizzy. Wondering what was happening to him, he got to the floor, and then it started. He suffered a severe attack of seizure. Thankfully, his wife was home, she immediately dialed up Credihealth to find the nearest available best neurologist in Bangalore. After reaching the hospital, the doctor conducted some tests and diagnosed that Sunil has epilepsy. Sunil then vowed to take better care of his health and lead a healthy life.

Neurology is a branch of medicine known for its complexity and to this date, there are innumerable diseases for which diagnosis is difficult and the treatment remains unknown. It deals with the study of the nervous system- which coordinates and regulates various bodily activities. It’s divided into the Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) and the Peripheral Nervous System. It may seem that the brain and spinal cord which lay deep within protective coverings are immune to harm, however such is not the case.

It has been noted that the causes of neurological disorders may vary from genetic predisposition, brain tumors, and stroke to brain injury. And the symptom encompasses a wide range from physical (disoriented, poor coordination of muscles) to emotional (like mood swings). According to the WHO in 2006, nearly one billion were affected by neurological diseases and as a consequence faced the social stigma and discrimination attached to it. So, it is our responsibility as humans, as family members to accept and attune ourselves to such possibilities and help eradicate the narrow minded thinking.

While talking about health problems like heart ailments, kidney problems or even cancer is not considered a taboo, talking about gynecological problems, Urine infections or basically anything related to a male or a female genitals is considered innapropriate. This is the reason why most people don't come forward with diseases and disorders that are troubling them, making their health condition even worse.

Have you ever wondered why so many doctors require your urine sample when checking you for health problems? Its is because just like your blood, your urine also is an indication of your overall healthy functions of the body.

The subdivision of urology that deals with this problem is known as Endourology. Other divisions being, laparoscopy (a relatively new branch, it deals with Robot-assisted surgery of the ureter, kidney and prostate); Neurourology (or genitourinary surgery, it deals with surgical and medical problems of the urinary tract system); pediatric urology (it deals with urological health issues in children); urological oncology (cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, penis and testicles); andrology (it deals with the problems of male reproductive system) and female urology (deals with the problems of the female urinary bladder- infections etc.)

Atul Khanna, a young IT professional from Mumbai, started to suddenly experience pain while urinating, started going to the washroom more often and realized that his urine had started to smell bad. He searched online and understood that he had a urinary tract infection. This troubled him as his family doctor was away on vacation. He went online again for help and reached out to Credihealth, we then helped him find a credible urologist in Mumbai.

Neurologist in Mumbai diagnoses woman with Alzheimer's

2016-03-07T10:23:00.000+05:30

Here are some interesting facts about the human brain:

Our brain uses up to 20% of the total oxygen in our bodies

Our brain has enough energy to light up a small bulb

The brain consists of around 150,000 miles of the blood vessels

And with all this energy, oxygen and blood, all stored into about 3 pounds of flesh, most of which is fat, our brain stores details and information from all walks of life. Making decisions while driving, swimming, running and even cooking is essential to our existence, if you go wrong performing any of these activities, it could mean the end of your life, and still all these actions are performed by most of us with minimum mental effort.

These were just a few small examples, all of us know all the different ways in which our brain enables us to perform the easiest and the most difficult tasks everyday. That is the reason behind even the smallest injury to the brain resulting in catastrophic results for a person's health. And sadly, the brain, like all other organs in our bodies tends to deteriorate with time.

Rashmi Mehta saw that her mother-in-law was getting extremely forgetful. She would forget the most basic daily tasks and on occasions disappear for hours without having any memory of where she had been. Rashmi looked up all this online and suspected that her mother-in-law had Alzheimer's disease. She wished to see an expert and after discussing with her husband, decided to call up Credihealth.

Nephrologist in Mumbai - Credihealth

2016-02-26T16:31:00.002+05:30

Nephrology refers to the study of kidney and kidney functions. Kidneys, as most of us already know, are a pair of bean shaped organs that help purify blood of all toxins and produce urine to flush them out of our bodies. But there are some interesting facts that most people don't know: kidneys receive a higher level of blood flow than the heart, brain and even the liver (the largest organ in our bodies.) They filter close to 180 liters of blood everyday and in the absence of one, the other kidney can perform all the functions normally.

In addition to all of these functions, kidneys also help maintain the water balance in one's body along with which they help in maintaining the blood composition and help regulate blood pressure. Another fact that most are unaware of is that people who smoke, don't just put their lungs at risk, their kidneys are also greatly harmed because of the habit. When a person suffers from kidney disease, her/his kidneys stop working properly and that leads to waste products and fluids accumulating in the body.

Diabetic Neuropathy is one such disease. The common symptoms of this disease are: loss of sensations in the lower legs / feet, numbness, weakness of muscles, loss of balance etc. for others it could be nausea, diarrhea, abnormal sweating, difficulty swallowing etc. Priyanka Vashisht's mother, a diabetic started to experience these symptoms. Worried about her health, Priyanka called us up for guidance. Our doctor, after listening to the symptoms advised Priyanka to take her mother to a Nephrologist in Mumbai and gave her options. They soon met up with the doctor and stated treatment.

Hepatologist in Mumbai helps woman with gallbladder disease

2016-02-25T14:20:00.001+05:30

Our bodies are complex. Made up of countless cells and tissues, our bodies have different organs that work differently and play different roles in our bodies. Since all the advancements made in medical science in the past centuries, these different organs and organ systems have specific specialists looking into their respective diseases and disorders: a neurologist looking into neurological disorders, a gynecologist looking into the matters of the female reproductive system, a cardiologist looking into cardiac ailments and so on so forth.

While a general surgeon or a gastrologist is a doctor that deals with the organs starting from throat to anus, there are specialists for some of these organs as well. A hepatologist, for example is a specialist that deals with the diseases and disorders of the liver, the gallbladder and the pancreas.

The gallbladder in our bodies provides a variety of functions, this includes serving as a reservoir for bile, which is then secreted by the bladder that in turn aids in the digestion process. A part of the biliary tract, the gallbladder can often cause problems in the body like gallstones, gallbladder attack and gallbladder pain. Th latter is usually caused by cholecystitis, gallstones, biliary colic, pancreatitis and cholangitis.

Rasika Gaur, a mother of two, was experiencing fever, nausea and suspected she had jaundice. She called up Credihealth and was suggested by our in-house doctor to see a hepatologist in Mumbai. Once she saw the doctor, she was diagnosed with cholecystitis, which is usually caused by gallstones. She started treatment immediately and is now recovering well.

Hematologist in Mumbai - Credihealth

2016-02-25T11:27:00.002+05:30

Our bodies are made of blood, muscles and bones. While we're all aware of most of our organs and bodily functions, our knowledge of the blood is limited. Did you know that there are 100,000 miles of blood vessels in our bodies and that one red blood cell can make a complete circuit of your body in just 30 seconds? And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Our blood is our lifeline, carrying oxygen and nutrients from one part of our body to the others. One can imagine the importance it carries by the fact that it is the most commonly tested part of our bodies.

The way our blood circulatory system sounds is simple but needs lungs, heart and arteries, veins and capillaries to work all the time to keep us alive. Like all the other body systems, our blood can also have diseases and disorders. Some of the most common blood disorders include, anemia, bleeding disorders, clots, cancer etc.

Ritika Chaube, an entrepreneur, owing a small start up, was fighting off a Urinary Tract Infection when she started to notice other symptoms like fever, feeling cold, shortness of breath etc. While she didn't pay attention to these in the beginning, soon she started to see small spots on her skin and faced abdominal pain. That's when she decided to call up Credihealth and explained her symptoms. The in-house doctor suspected Sepsis and told Ritika about this condition. Even though no there is no specific specialist for this condition, Ritika insisted on seeing a hematologist in Mumbai for her condition along with a physician. She thankfully made a full recovery soon after.
