Google says hiatus hernia can be cured with exercise? πŸ€”

A hiatus hernia is not just a muscle issue that exercise can fix.
Yes, workouts may help reduce symptoms, but they cannot cure the hernia.

πŸ‘‰ Here’s the truth:
β€’ It’s a structural problem β€” part of the stomach moves into the chest
β€’ Exercise is supportive, not curative
β€’ Relying on wrong info can delay proper treatment

The right approach may include lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery for a permanent solution.

Don’t believe everything you read online β€” trust only experts.

If you’re experiencing acidity, reflux, or chest discomfort, get evaluated early.

After a C-section delivery, your abdominal wall is still healing.

Pushing your body too soon can lead to a hernia at the scar siteβ€”which may eventually require surgery.

Avoid:
πŸ”Ί Heavy lifting
πŸ”Ί Excessive strain
πŸ”Ί Early intense workouts
πŸ”Ί Ignoring warning signs like a bulge or pain

Recovery is not a race. Protect your body.

You might be eating β€œhealthy”… but hidden sugars could still be sneaking into your diet πŸ‘€

From flavoured yogurt to β€œhealthy” cereals and even fruit juices β€” sugar is often hiding in plain sight, silently causing cravings, weight gain & blood sugar spikes.

The trick? It’s not just what you eat… it’s what’s added to it.

Start reading labels. Start choosing smarter.
Because small changes = big health wins πŸ’ͺ

This two-day, in-person meeting focused on women’s hormonal health across the life course β€” from puberty to menopause β€” while also addressing the rising burden of , an issue that is increasingly affecting Indian women at younger ages and with more severe metabolic consequences.

Women often experience chronic illnesses differently and frequently face psychosocial barriers, including limited access to healthcare. These realities make conversations around women’s metabolic health both urgent and necessary.

I had the privilege of participating in two panel discussions:

β€’ Weight regain after bariatric surgery
β€’ Nutrition in the era of newer anti-obesity medications (AOMs)

As a surgeon in a forum largely attended by endocrinologists, it was important to bring in the surgical perspective while also learning from colleagues who approach obesity and metabolic health from the hormonal and medical side.

My sincere thanks to Dr. Gaganpriya, Dr. Shehla Shaikh and Dr. Nitin Kapoor for the kind invitation.

I look forward to many more such conversations and collaborations ahead.

Today on , I want to talk about something we don’t discuss enough.

Many women in medicine are confident in the operating room…
but uncomfortable discussing money, investments, or financial decisions.

Not because we lack intelligence.

Often because we were never encouraged to participate in these conversations.

Financial independence is not just about wealth.

It is about autonomy.
Choices.
Freedom.

This piece reflects on something I’ve seen repeatedly:

β€œSkilled with the scalpel, shy with the spreadsheet.”

Do you relate to this?

Obesity & Abdominal Pressure | Hidden Cause of Hiatal Hernia

Why does hiatal hernia develop? The most common reason is increased abdominal pressure. In this video, we explain how obesity, chronic cough, constipation, pregnancy, heavy weight lifting, and age-related muscle weakness can stretch the diaphragm opening and allow the stomach to slide into the chest.

8 Billion Reasons to Act on Obesity

Because obesity is not just about weight.
It is a complex chronic disease that affects people, families, communities and healthcare systems across the world.

In my clinical practice, I meet many patients who are not just struggling with obesity β€” they are also struggling with stigma, judgment and misinformation.

β€œJust eat less.”
β€œHave more willpower.”
β€œTry harder.”

These statements ignore the biology of obesity.

On World Obesity Day, it is time to change the conversation.

Obesity deserves science, empathy and proper medical care β€” not blame.

There are 8 billion reasons to act on obesity.
Every patient deserves to be seen, heard and supported.
