In addition to care, love and protection from adults, children require nutrition and medical attention to live and grow into physically and mentally healthy individuals. However, being in the developing age and not being strong, they are more susceptible to different diseases and infections.

Tarun Bhalla, a journalist who had recently moved to Kolkata for a new job with his family, was extremely busy with his work and noticed that his 7 year-old son, Ritwik, had started to fall ill very frequently. Worried about Ritwik, Tarun and his wife Chandini called up their Pediatrician in Kanpur and asked him the reason behind Ritwik's declined health. Their doctor told them that the only explanation could be the change in weather and assured them that within no time their son will be better.

The couple waited for a while but saw no improvement in their son's health. They then decided to get help. Ritwik asked a couple of his colleagues and decided to call us up at Credihealth for guidance. Our in-house doctor suggested that they see a specialist and suggested three options. The couple chose one of them and decided to make an appointment.

After meeting with one of the best pediatrician in Kolkata, they realized that even though the change in environment was the main factor behind Ritwik's illness, the problem was more serious than they had previously thought. After questioning the couple about their residential area and Ritwik's medical history, the doctor feared that the polluted water in their house was creating a problem and started their son's treatment. After religiously taking the medications and moving to a different locality, their son's health got back to normal.

Credihealth finds Orthopedist in Kolkata for an Emergency Case

The human body is extremely complex. From the blinking of the eye to digesting a big piece of steak; our bodies require different types of muscles and bones to work together in order for us to perform basic bodily functions and even a small error or injury to any of these can make performing daily tasks extremely difficult for the person. Both muscles and bones are bound to each other with tendons and ligaments and enable us to move our hands, legs. Mouths etc.

Bones are collective tissues and are really strong. However, occasionally, a severe trauma to the body can crack or can potentially break the bone. For cracks and minor bone injuries, plasters are administered that give a bone a good amount of time to heal. Sometimes, however, breaking of a bone needs more than just time to heal. In case of hip fracture or severe damage to the bone, surgeries may be required. 

Nandita Chowdhary, a young student was on her way to a coaching center on her scooty when a car came in full speed just outside her house in Behala, and hit her. While she waited for her brother on the road, she saw her bone from under her flesh in her right leg and knew that the local nursing home will not be equipped to take care of her injury. When her brother arrived, he agreed with Nandita and called Credihealth from his car and told us about his sister's situation.

Our in-house doctor suggested seeing a specialist and found the nearest Orthopedist in Kolkata for them. Nandita was rushed to that hospital immediately and is doing fine post-surgery.

Credihealth finds Gynaecologist in Kolkata for Teenager with STD

Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs are not talked about openly in the modern society despite being a major cause for concern. It is a shame that sexually active teenagers and adults have no or limited knowledge about their sexual health and hygiene. Our current education system gives no importance to sex-education and that has led to a sharp rise in such diseases. Another reason for the rise in these numbers is sexual abuse followed by no medical assistance.

Some of the most common STDs prevalent among teenagers include HIV, herpes, molluscum contagiosum, syphilis and Viral and Bacterial STIs. Sadly, due to lack of information regarding signs and symptoms, most people don't know they carry these diseases and continue to spread it to others. The best way to prevent STDs like these is to always use protection and be aware of any unusual activity in your body that could indicate infection/disease, so that you can get medical help as soon as possible.

Rishika Chaturvedi, a young college student started to experience some vaginal discharge and pelvic pain.

Her sister also advised her to see a professional and called up Credihealth for guidance. We suggested three gynaecologists in Kolkata and her sister Lata chose one for Rishika, who is currently on her course of antibiotics and will soon recover completely.

Mental health issues when not paid heed to can lead to implications for the physical health as well(and vice-verse.) This can be seen very easily in our societies.

Earlier last year, Madhumita turned 50 and decided she needed to change. She promised her loved ones and herself that she wanted to start a fresh and would begin to take care of herself.

After an appointment with him, it was decided that Madhumita would have the surgery and step into a new phase in her life.

Colonoscopy in Bangalore

Colonoscopy refers to a test that is done to study the insides of a person's colon and rectum through a device called a colonoscope, which is a thin and hollow light tube with a camera attached at its end. Colonoscopy is usually done to check for cancers, tumors, blood in the stool or to study any unusual activity in the gut. The procedure is about 30 minutes long and is done after the patient is put on sedatives.

Prior to the colonoscopy, a patient is given laxatives and is asked to stay on a liquid diet for some hours. She/he will also be encouraged to drink plenty of water, to clear the colon. The procedure involves the insertion of the colonoscope via the colon after some air has been blown into the colon, the images from which can be seen on an external monitor. A few after effects of the procedure are: slight discomfort after the procedure, bloating and gas, slight fever or blood in stool.

Every person- male or female above the age of 50 is advised to get a colonoscopy done every few years. This is the reason Vivek Gumbar, an IT professional from Bangalore, currently residing in Delhi, realised that his parents, both over 55, should get one done as well. But far away from home he wasn't sure he'll be able to find the best gastro doctor for his old parents. That is when he came across Credihealth's website. He gave us a call and shared his apprehensions. Our in-house doctor assured him that his parents' colonoscopy in Bangalore will be arranged by us.

Surgical Oncologist in Kolkata treats a man with throat cancer

Finding the right doctor is crucial to any treatment process, especially when it comes to oncology specialists. Oncology is referred to the study and treatment of tumors. The three major kinds of oncology specialties include medical, surgical, and radiation. While medical oncologists use non-surgical methods to treat the tumors, like targeted therapy etc., surgical oncologists, as the name suggests, surgically remove the tumor and its surrounding tissues and radiation oncologists use radiation therapy to treat them. While most cancerous tumors can be treated with the above mentioned methods, sometimes more severe radiation, chemotherapy is required to treat the tumor- this is decided depending upon the progression of the disease in the patient. Throat cancer, is one such disease. When caught early, it can be cured with a combination of surgery and radiation. Unfortunately, lack of awareness leads to late diagnoses in a large number of cases, which can prove fatal for patients. The important thing to remember is to abstain from smoking, drinking and polluted environments. The second is to look out for symptoms and get them checked by a professional as soon as possible. Mahesh Dua, had a chronic cough, that had him worried. Despite his protests, his family forced him to see a doctor who asked him about other symptoms.
