Grand Inauguration of Healing Hands Clinic on Sunday!!

 Time to Learn About Lifetstyle Diseases as prevention is better than cure ! Have we ever realized that day by day we are becoming victims of our modern lifestyles? On the one hand, most of us take pride in our smartness and efficiency, hard working nature and dedication to work, but on the other hand, when health gets affected we tend to lower our guards. We ignore, delay and suffer in silence, at times because of sheer lack of time and other times due to lack of proper awareness and understanding.Arguably, our modern lifestyle pattern has presented us with its own set of side effects. Commonest of them are diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity, Constipation and Piles. With growing prevalence and incidence of these lifestyle diseases, the medical fraternity has taken note and evolved specialties and expertise in each of these disease states. We have Diebetologists, Cardiologists, Obesity Surgeons and Proctologists, having expertise in these respective diseases. This presents us with a great opportunity to receive the best treatment from experts in their respective fields.Today on 6th November, with the launch of Healing Hands Clinic at Tilak Road, which will be the first Proctology Clinic in Pune, by the leading Procto-Surgeon Dr Ashwin Porwal, the specialty of Proctology will be offered for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of all patients who have silently suffered with anorectal diseases like Constipation, Piles, Fissure and Fistula. On this momentous day Dr Porwal remarked, “we are launching the Healing Hands Clinic with a vision of providing our patients with the most innovative and minimally invasive cure for Constipation and Piles.” He also envisioned his goal of “caring for and curing every patient of his or her anorectal disease.”Dr Ashwin Porwal has many firsts to his name. He is the first surgeon in Maharashtra and among the select few in the country to perform the STARR surgery, a surgical treatment for chronic Constipation which was invented 10 years back in Europe. He has successfully treated over 800 patients suffering with Piles, with the advanced and relatively painless surgical technique MIPH, popularly known as Stapler surgery for piles. Dr Porwal says, “I see many new patients daily who suffer with chronic Constipation and Piles. Out of them 30% are young and educated. They require patient counseling and detailed explanation. Explaining them the problem and assuring them of utmost care is our aim. Many patients fail to explain their problem due to inhibitions or fear of conventional surgery. But its important to tell them that now there is hope, as innovative treatments are available. For such patients we have provided a 24 hour helpline number - 8888288884.”Dr Porwal shares, “I see patients from all walks of life, and some of them have their unique set of needs. Considering these we have come up with unique solutions at Healing Hands Clinic, like an exclusive OPD – one Sunday a month – for corporate executives, special consulting facility for the old and elderly and many more for our other patients.” He specially mentioned that Healing Hands Clinic will be the first clinic in Maharashtra to introduce Defecography, a diagnostic test for Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS) a condition leading to chronic Constipation.On a concluding note Dr Porwal says, “It is always better to give first priority to health. Today’s advancements in Science have proven results that help us to take utmost care of patients. So keeping aside all worries and fears, patients should let us help them for a healthier and better future.”
