Women’s Health in Rural India – Regular Check-ups Save Lives #MahavirHospitalKamshet #DrVikeshMutha

Image
By Dr Vikesh Mutha, Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet Kamshet, Pune District: In many villages and small towns of India, women continue to neglect their own health while caring for their families. But this neglect often leads to serious, preventable health problems. According to Dr Vikesh Mutha , founder of Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet , regular medical check-ups are the most powerful tool to prevent disease and save lives — especially in rural and semi-hilly regions like the Western Ghats. “Many women visit hospitals only when their illness becomes severe. But with early diagnosis through simple health check-ups, 80% of complications can be avoided,” says Dr Mutha. Why Women’s Health Needs Attention In rural India, limited awareness, social taboos, and distance from hospitals often delay treatment. Common issues such as anaemia, thyroid problems, menstrual irregularities, and post-delivery infections are widely ignored. “Women often bear pain silently, thinking it’s part of life,” exp...

Diabetic Foot – A Silent Danger That Needs Urgent Attention #MahavirHospitalKamshet #DrVikeshMutha

Image
  By Dr Vikesh Mutha, Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet Kamshet, Pune District: Diabetes is no longer a disease of the cities  it has silently spread to rural and semi-urban regions too. Among its many complications, Diabetic Foot remains one of the most dangerous yet neglected conditions, warns Dr Vikesh Mutha , emergency and trauma care specialist at Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet . “Many diabetic patients ignore small wounds or blisters on their feet until they become infected. What starts as a small cut can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation,” says Dr Mutha. What Is a Diabetic Foot? A Diabetic Foot is a complication of long-term, uncontrolled diabetes where poor blood circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy) affect the feet. Because of reduced sensation, patients often fail to notice injuries, burns or ulcers allowing infection to spread rapidly. If untreated, this can lead to deep ulcers, gangrene, or even amputation.

Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery – A New Era of Precision and Faster Recovery #MahavirHospitalKamshet #DrVikeshMutha

Image
  By Dr Vikesh Mutha, Mahavir Hospital – Kamshet Modern medicine continues to evolve at lightning speed, and one of the most remarkable advancements is laparoscopic surgery , also known as keyhole surgery . At Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet , we have adopted this technology to provide our patients with world-class surgical care — safer, quicker, and with minimal discomfort. What Is Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery? Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique in which operations are performed through a few tiny incisions instead of one large cut. Using a high-definition camera and fine surgical instruments, the surgeon can view internal organs on a screen with exceptional clarity. In advanced laparoscopic (or minimal-access ) surgery, high-end imaging systems, precision tools, and sometimes robotic assistance make it possible to treat even complex abdominal and pelvic conditions with great accuracy. Conditions Treated Through Laparoscopy Advanced laparoscopic techniques...
