I am a dedicated medical professional with extensive clinical experience spanning both emergency care and specialized women's health. At GBH American Hospital, I spent nine months immersed in hands-on patient care and emergency management. This role allowed me to sharpen my clinical assessment skills and develop a keen ability to manage acute medical situations with precision and compassion. My commitment to comprehensive patient care deepened during my 21-month tenure at AIIMS Guwahati. In the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, as well as in trauma and emergency care, I managed a diverse array of critical cases. I actively participated in complex procedures related to women’s health, trauma stabilization, and acute care, ensuring that every patient received immediate and effective treatment. Working in these high-pressure environments has equipped me with a robust foundation in both preventative and emergency medical practices. My approach is firmly rooted in evidence-based medicine, and I continuously strive to enhance my skills through ongoing professional development. I believe that successful healthcare hinges on a blend of technical expertise, compassionate patient interactions, and a relentless commitment to excellence. By integrating my clinical experiences with a patient-centered focus, I aim to deliver the highest standard of care in every aspect of my practice.

Hi Sheri ,
Your symptoms—irregular periods, acne, and weight gain despite healthy habits—suggest hormonal imbalance, possibly PCOS or thyroid issues. Please consult a gynecologist or endocrinologist for the following investigations:
	1.	TSH, T3, T4 (Thyroid function tests)
	2.	Prolactin levels
	3.	LH/FSH ratio
	4.	Testosterone (androgens)
	5.	USG Pelvic Organ (to check for PCOS or other abnormalities)
	6.	Random Blood Sugar (RBS) (to rule out diabetes)

Continue with your healthy diet and include regular exercise like Surya Namaskar and strength training to balance hormones. Here’s a simple plan:
	1.	Brisk Walk: 30-45 minutes daily.
	2.	Yoga:
	•	Surya Namaskar: 10-12 rounds.
	3.	Strength Training: 20-30 minutes, 3 times a week (squats, lunges, push-ups).
Once the root cause is identified, targeted treatment will be more effective.
