Hello Dr. Chaitanya, Dr. Harshada & the entire team at HHC (Chinchwad),
I would like to take this opportunity to share my testimony being treated for fistula.
My name is Errol Dsouza and I’m an Engineering Professional.
This aggravated in Dec’21 when I changed from my overloaded and imbalanced work-life schedule (>2 yrs) to a new role.
I had begun living a normal schedule and also giving my body timely rest etc. and this was when my body gave up and by each day the issue started getting grave.
I was under tremendous pain, heavy bleeding and in discomfort for over 2 weeks.
Finally in the 1st week of Jan’22 I decided to visit Healing Hands Clinic as referred by a colleague of mine who was previously operated for piles few years ago at the Pune City branch (near Ruby Hall).
Found out the contact details online of the nearest branch (Chinchwad) in the case for me and tried reaching them out for an appointment.
Was assisted by Dr. Satari who had arranged a call back and an appointment slot on the very next day.
During my visit I was first examined by Dr. Zeenat and next by Dr. Chaitanya (who leads the team here at HHC).
After understanding that the case was not so favorable and the infection being dominantly in the inner tract, I didn’t want to take a chance and immediately decided to get operated.
After completing all preoperative tests & procedures (MRI, etc.) I was finally operated on 07th Jan’22.
Being of a jovial nature, I tried maintaining a light and easy environment even while being anesthetized.
The operation was successful and now was time for recovery which I was indicated would be 6-8 weeks.
My post-operative recovery checks and schedules were all managed by Dr. Harshada since she was a part of the team while I was being operated.
My case being complicated had many different episodes and phases of recovery.
But I should sincerely thank the team for being very patient and listening to all of my descriptions and trying to treat me right and bring me back to comfort.
We cracked jokes and laughed aloud even while being in the checkup position.
Dr. Chaitanya and Dr. Harshada can testify this for me.
It’s been almost 6 months now, and I feel awesomely well and fantastic, with an internal feeling of being recovered to 90-95% largely.
Had my first official travel after 2 months (was very concerned) and now I I flock anywhere and everywhere. I now travel without any concern.
Currently I’m on a monthly check-up schedule.
My body and skeletal structure is broad since birth and I was 126kgs when operated; while recovering I almost lost around 4-5 kgs by work-out as suggested.
Eventually I had to break in between because of an episode of pain. I have now recently resumed working out and wish to tone down further.
I wouldn’t forget thanking the assisting team at HHC [Pooja, Ankita, Rohini, the nursing & housekeeping staff and rest (sorry for not knowing your names)] who always treated me with a smile and supported with with all my queries.
Looking forward for completing the entire recovery cycle and being back to 100% normalcy.
I would voluntarily like to refer Healing Hands Clinic to people around suffering through tough times due to Fissures, Piles, Fistula & Varicose veins.
Our society is very reserved and shy of speaking up and sharing their pain thinking of being shamed.
I would urge people to open up and get yourselves consulted, treated and live back a normal life.
This is a bodily disorder caused due numerous factors (internal and external) and has a solution to it.
I have come out of this and would want you too to get well soon.
