Have you noticed any of these symptoms? If yes, it might be a good idea to visit the doctor and rule out pneumonia. With winter upon us, it’s the season of coughs, colds and their more complex versions as well (yes, some of the micro-organisms that cause colds and flu can also cause pneumonia). So be careful if:

- There is chest pain while breathing or coughing

- You have cough with greenish, yellow or even bloody mucous

- You have fever which rises up to 105ºF, with profuse sweating and rapidly increasing breathing & pulse rate

- You are constantly fatigued

- You experience shortness of breath & loss of appetite

- There is confusion or changes in mental awareness

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with pus or fluid. It is caused by a variety of organisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi. Remember that newborns and older adults may have fewer or milder symptoms, so you need to be extra watchful. Make sure you see a doctor right away as pneumonia can quickly become a life-threatening condition.

Your doorknob may be brimming with germs, the currency & coins in your wallet may have passed through endless number of grimy fingers, your car keys may have been handled by different parking attendants with suspect hygiene levels, electric switches around you may have been touched by so many people without ever being cleaned… There are several surfaces around us that we tend to overlook in our daily cleaning routine, and so many things that we must make it a point to wash our hands after touching. Yes, because they are full of infection-causing microbes!

These germs can be the cause behind your common cold, and also a serious UTI or kidney infection! That’s how dangerous they can be. To avoid any such complications, here are some life rules for you to follow:

- Make cleaning and disinfecting doorknobs, switches and keys a part of your regular routine. Just use a mug of water with a few drops of antiseptic liquid added in it. Dip in the cleaning cloth and wipe thoroughly!

- Ensure you don’t touch your face or any sense organ without first washing your hands when you’ve handled money – be it currency notes or coins.

- Make it a point to wash hands regularly – every time when you come home from an outing, before meals, after meals and after any physical work – be it cooking, cleaning, gardening or exercise! It really goes a long way in keeping you free of germ threats.

Whenever we sleep poorly or insufficiently, we think we’ll make it up over the weekend. But according to recent studies, this doesn’t help! Sleeping less everyday leads to an increased risk of diseases such as obesity, diabetes & cardiovascular problems. Extra weekend sleep is not enough to reverse the damage. Usually, an average sleep of 7 hours every night is enough. How do we ensure we get the required hours of shut-eye daily?

Get rid of the stress: While you cannot avoid problems, you can always find ways to not let them affect you too much. Practice meditation to calm your mind or try yoga exercises.

Manage the office workload better: Plan your tasks to avoid getting work home. Also don’t take extra breaks during work hours.

Get your life in order: Set your priorities and work out a suitable timetable. Once that’s done, you’ll find yourself able to squeeze out that extra hour to catch up with a friend or to pamper yourself, without upsetting the rest of the routine.

Set a sleep routine: Go to bed at a fixed time, and you’ll find yourself drifting off without any difficulty! Also ensure no bright lights or use of gadgets at least half an hour before your scheduled sleep time. And then, look forward to a restful slumber, every single night!

Sleep-related health issues can become so complex that they may require specialised treatment. Lack of proper sleep can lead to diabetes or heart issues. In case you or a loved one is in need of surgery for their heart problems, or any other health issue, reach out to us at HexaHealth. We help you contact suitable doctors for the right advice for treatment. We’re there for you throughout the surgery procedure, assisting you with the admission, health insurance claim and discharge procedures. We help in post-operative care too!

Swollen veins in your re**um and a**s, also known as piles or haemorrhoids, are painful and cause a lot of discomfort to the sufferer. While the right diet coupled with suitable exercise can help alleviate the symptoms to a large extent, at times there may be proper cures required. Here’s what you can opt for in case you are suffering from piles:

Sitz bath + medication: Soaking the area in warm water on a regular basis can help alleviate the symptoms. Coupled with suitable medication and topical ointments, your issue can be resloved to a large extent.
External haemorrhoid thrombectomy: Painful blood clots within an external haemorrhoid can be removed under local anaesthesia within 72 hours of the clots being developed.
Rubber band litigation: One or two rubber bands are placed around the base of internal haemorrhoids to cut off circulation, eventually causing it to wither and fall off in approximately a week.
Sclerotherapy: A chemical solution is injected into the haemorrhoid to shrink it.
Infrared, laser or bipolar coagulation: Laser, infrared light or heat is used to make small, bleeding internal haemorrhoids harden and shrivel up.
Hemorrhoidectomy: The excessive tissue that’s causing bleeding is removed by your surgeon under local or general anaesthesia.
Haemorrhoid stapling: Typically used for internal haemorrhoids, this procedure blocks the blood flow to the haemorrhoidal tissue.

If you or a loved one is also suffering from piles and needs surgery to treat it, do feel free to reach out to us at HexaHealth. Not only do we help you identify a suitable doctor and hospital for your treatment, we are there throughout the surgery process at the hospital and also assist in the aftercare. Our aim is your successful recovery! To know more, contact us now for a free consultation:

If you are contemplating a pregnancy, the best person to turn to is an obstetrician, for she is involved throughout the birth of a baby. It starts with ensuring you and your partner are capable of having children, goes on to the pregnancy care & birth, and then the well-being of both mother & child post-delivery.
In gynaecology, the aim is to ensure you have good reproductive health. Cysts, missed periods, excessive bleeding, pain during in*******se and more come under your gynaecologist’s purview. So she helps diagnose and treat health issues including PCOD, endometriosis, fibroids and va**nal infections.
In case you or a loved one is suffering from any reproductive issues that need surgery as a treatment, do reach out to us at HexaHealth. We assist you through the A-Z of any surgery, including post-operative care!

According to the WHO, approximately 0.5-1% of breast cancers occour in men. While the numbers are small, it needs the same treatment as breast cancer in women. Largely, it’s due to genetics, but there are several other reasons for breast cancer in men. These include history of radiation exposure of the chest, gynaecomastia (enlarged breast tissue due to hormonal imbalance), taking estrogen, cirrhosis of the liver, diseases of the testicles such as mumps orchitis, a testicular injury or an undescended testicle, and even obesity.
It is usually diagnosed with a lump on the breast. At times, you may also notice redness or flaky skin in the breast, irritation or dimpling of the breast skin, discharge from the ni**le or pulling in of the ni**le or pain in the area. Similar techniques of diagnosis are used for both men and women – physical exams, mammography and biopsies. Treatments too are more or less the same – chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, surgery or a combination of some or all.

In case you or a loved one is suffering from any such issue and needs treatment, do feel free to reach out to us at HexaHealth. We help you identify a suitable doctor and hospital, assist you in the hospital admission & discharge, take care of all other paperwork including insurance claim and are also around for post-operative care.

There are enough products on the shelves to distract you, but it’s better to stick to the basics when it comes to your va**na. Always remember, it is a sensitive area. Here is what you need to keep in mind:
Wash it daily: With sweat, va**nal discharge and periods, it’s important that your va**na gets a daily cleanse.

Avoid any chemical-based products: Simple water is enough to get rid of all the germs. Chemical-based products may do more harm than good as they may irritate your skin.

Use a soft towel to dry: Again, this is important so that the area does not get chafed. Also, wipe front to back to ensure no harmful bacteria from the a**s gets into your va**na. Change your towel every 2-3 days to avoid introducing any infections.

Your va**nal hygiene is essential to ensure good va**nal health. Else, there can be several issues – from infections to vaginitis to cysts. Also remember, as you age, you may face other problems such as pelvic floor prolapse or a loose va**na. In case you need assistance with a treatment for any such issue, you can reach out to us at HexaHealth for A-Z surgery support. To contact us:

Contrary to what we may believe, arthritis is not a disease that affects only the older generation. Children as young as six months can develop the disease! It leads to pain, swelling and stiffness, and may even cause incurable disabilities. At times, it is accompanied by fever and rashes. The cause is usually immune disorders that cause inflammation in the joints & other body systems. Cures include medicines to decrease pain, improve function and minimise potential joint damage. Physiotherapy sessions help in facilitating movement. In severe cases, one may need surgery to improve the functioning of the joints.
In case your little one is also suffering from this condition and needs treatment, do reach out to us at HexaHealth. With sensitivity and empathy, we take you through the A-Z of the surgery process – be it identifying suitable doctors & hospitals, being around at the time of surgery, managing all the paperwork including admission & discharge or the post-operative care.

This World Rose Day, take positive steps to ensure you & your family keep the dreaded disease at bay. While what we know about cancer is still evolving, there are some lifestyle changes that have proven effects in preventing cancer:
Eat healthy: Up your intake of fruits & veggies, olive oil & mixed nuts. Drink alcohol in moderation, and avoid red & processed meats.
Avoid to***co: To***co is known to cause several kinds of cancer including that of the lungs, mouth, throat, larynx, pancreas, bladder, cervix and kidney. Even passive smoking is harmful. So avoid it completely.
Get regular health check-ups: Get yourself screened for various types of cancer so that you detect it on time. The chances of treatment being successful in the early stages are high. Check with your doctor about which screenings you need to go in for.
In case you or a loved one needs help with any treatment, reach out to us now at HexaHealth. We provide A-Z surgery support.

Cancer is a disease which may go undetected for several years. But it’s best if it’s discovered early and treatment is started on time. This World Rose Day, we bring you some symptoms to watch out for.
Loss of appetite: Changes in metabolism, irritation or swelling in the abdomen, enlarged spleen or liver – all these happen due to cancer. So, do get tested if you are eating less than usual, not feeling hungry, or feeling full after eating only a small amount.
Loss of weight: Unexplained weight-loss indicates cancer of the oesophagus, pancreas, stomach or lung. It is often the first sign of the disease.
Fatigue: This fatigue doesn’t get better by eating healthy or sleeping more. It is a lack of energy which continues chronically and has a negative effect on your quality of life.
In case you or a loved one is also suffering from any of these symptoms, do go in for a suitable check. For treatment support, you can contact us at HexaHealth. We are there to assist you through the entire process – right from identifying a suitable doctor to post-operative care. Reach out to us now!

If you are between ages 15 and 44, you may be suffering from this hormonal disorder that makes cysts grow on the ovaries and disrupts the reproductive function in the body. So women with PCOS or Poly Cystic O***y Syndrome may suffer from irregular periods, heavy bleeding, hair growth on face and body, acne, weight gain, bald patches on the scalp, darkening of the skin and headaches among other conditions. There are no solutions for PCOS, you can only make smart lifestyle changes to manage it better:

Smart diet changes: Increase your intake of whole foods – foods that are as close to their natural, unprocessed forms as possible, and will help regulate your blood sugar levels. These may be fruits, veggies, whole grains and legumes. Iron is helpful in case there is heavy bleeding during your period, so keep eating spinach, eggs and broccoli. Caffeine is known to change estrogen levels and hormone behaviour, so avoid coffee, tea and colas as far as possible.

Manage that weight: Set an exercise routine for yourself – consult an expert if need be. Make sure all meals are portion-regulated and eaten on the stipulated time.

Keep stress at bay: Stress is an inevitable part of life. But there are ways you can manage it and find help in coping with it. Try meditation – even a 15-minute session is good enough. Sufficient sleep plays a big role in ensuring your stress levels are at a minimum, so go catch that shut-eye. Also try to schedule regular breaks while working – no, it’s not a crime. Also, when you come back refreshed, you’ll find your productivity is much higher.
If your PCOS is causing issues such as inability to get pregnant or highly irregular periods, you can consult a doctor. In case surgery is prescribed as a solution, you can reach out to us at HexaHealth. We provide A-Z surgery support, with sensitivity and empathy!

Our patient had been troubled with painful hemorrhoids for quite a long time. He tried everything – from dietary changes to sitz baths to exercise. While all this would give him relief, the symptoms would return and he was really worried about how to tackle the issue. Piles are basically inflamed veins in the a**l region that may cause pain and discomfort, especially during bowel movements. The reason is usually straining during bowel movements due to constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease or diverticulitis. At times, a blood vessel in the a**s breaks and leads to a hemorrhoid.
It was when he consulted HexaHealth that he found the solution to his problem – a simple surgery. Today, he is free from all discomfort and highly satisfied with the support given by the HexaHealth Care Coordinators and HexaBuddies before, during and after his surgery.
We are happy we could him resolve his health issue! In case you or a loved one is also in need of treatment, do reach out to us!
