I used to suffer from recurrent uti for 6 months. I had consulted 4 urologists before seeing Dr Aparna. I wasn't satisfied with any of their consultations & hence decided to see Dr Aparna, & that was the best decision. Dr Aparna right away understood my problem & put on low dose antibiotics & biofeedback treatment which helped my condition a lot. I have not had an episode for the last few months & my urinary frequency & bladder pain symptoms reduced to a great extent. I highly recommend Dr. Aparna Hegde. She patiently listens to all your problems & her diagnoses are always on point.

Dr Aparna Hegde has saved my life. I have no words to express my gratitude towards her. The lady in whose house I work in has translated this into English as I feel my story needs to be told. I am only 36 years old and I had my second delivery seven years ago. Since then my pelvic organs started dropping through my vagina. I did not do anything about it for the first few years and then because of covid I could not access care. In the last three years, my uterus, bladder and rectum, all prolapsed out of the vagina. After a few months, the prolapse was so big that it could not be pushed back in. Over the next year, ulcers formed on the prolapse and it was obstructing my urethra and I could not empty my bladder. It became unbearable and I was in severe pain and I could not sit or stand. I could not afford treatment and hence I went to Cama Hospital for treatment. There I was admitted under the Gynecology department. They took me into the operation theatre and gave anesthesia but they did not operate as it was a very difficult case. They extubated me and then gave some medicines hoping that the prolapse would reduce and the ulcers would heal. After 20 days, they again took me into the operation theatre. Again the senior doctor felt that it was too difficult. Because I was under anesthesia for the second time, they had to call a senior highly accomplished doctor to perfom the surgery And so they called Dr. Aparna Hegde who offers free service as an honorary Professor of Urogynecology at Cama Hospital every morning. She performed the difficult surgery very well even though the first time she was seeing me was in the operation theatre under anesthesia. I was really relieved post surgery.. However, because my bladder was not emptying properly for many years, post surgery when Dr. Hegde tried to remove the catheter, I could not pee. Dr. Hegde hadn't seen me pre-surgery as she was called to see me for the first time when I was under anesthesia. And hence she could not assess the condition of my bladder and kidneys pre-surgery. And hence it was very difficult for Dr. Hegde to provide optimal treatment for my bladder and kidneys post surgery. She rightly diagnosed that because of long standing retention of urine due to untreated prolapse, my bladder muscle had been damaged and also there was back pressure changes exerted on my kidneys. However, no one had done any tests on me pre surgery to determine the status of my bladder and kidneys. Even though it was really difficult, Dr. Hegde provided the right treatment. She kept me on catheter for a month to give rest to the bladder and then she performed biofeedback therapy weekly for relaxation free of charge for me as my pelvic muscles were also not relaxing while peeing. It was a very difficult journey, but now I have completely recovered only because of Dr. Hegde.
