Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
It is due to buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to our heart. This causes a narrowing or blockage in arteries that may lead to a heart attack.
Arrhythmia
Arrhythmia is irregular heartbeat. This results due to dysfunction of the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats. The heart may beat either too fast or too slow or irregularly. There are different types of Arrhythmia like Tachycardia, Bradycardia, Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC), Atrial fibrillation etc.
Heart failure
Heart failure occurs when heart muscles don’t pump blood appropriately. In this case, the heart doesn’t stop working but it actually works sub-normally. This often happens in people with long standing coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, etc.
Congenital Heart Defects
It refers to the structural heart defects present from birth. These defects include the following: Septal defects in which there is a hole in the heart, Abnormal heart valves in which the valves are not opened or there is leakage of blood, and Atresia in which one of the valves or blood vessel in the heart is missing.
Dilated cardiomyopathy
It is a heart condition in which the heart chambers become dilated or the heart muscles get stretched and become thin. This happens because of the previous heart attacks, toxins, and arrhythmias. This condition doesn’t allow the blood to pump flow properly and can also result in heart failure and blood clots.

At Shikha Hospital’s Centre for IUI and IVF, we offer “State of the Art” services ranging from IVF, ICSI, blastocyst transfer, egg freezing, sperm freezing, frozen embryo transfer, sperm extraction for azoospermia, testicular biopsy, laser hatching.
IUI
• In IUI, the best quality sperms from aspiring father are processed in the lab and innoculated inside uterus. This is an OPD procedure and does not require anaesthesia or OT intervention.
• Who should go for IUI?
• Patients with anovulatory problems.
• Cervical mucous blocking sperm entry.
• Mild male infertility.
• Ejaculation problem.
• Erection disorder.
• Those who have tried for one year and still failed to conceive.
PESA or Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA)
In the process of PESA, a small needle is passed into the head of epididymis (part of male genital organ) of the aspiring father to aspirate fluid containing sperms. The embryologist retrieves the best sperm cells from the fluid to ICSI and successful conception.
IVF – In Vitro Fertilization
In the process of IVF, multiple eggs or ova are retrieved from an aspiring mother after giving injections to stimulate and grow multiple eggs. Then these eggs are fertilized with the aspiring father’s sperms in a lab and the resultant embryos are transferred back to the womb of the mother.
Who should go for IVF?
Those who have got –
• Multiple failed IUI
• Low egg / ovum count
• Bilateral blocked or damaged tubes
• Severe endometriosis
• Moderate to severe male factor infertility
• No sperm count
• Low sperm count
TESE or testicular sperm extraction
TESE is used for men with both obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. In TESE, the sperms are retrieved from the testes of aspiring father and used to achieve fertilization of eggs in the laboratory. However, as the numbers of sperm retrieved is often very low, it is necessary to combine TESE with ICSI.
ICSI – Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
This is a process where each egg is fertilized by specialized equipment with a single sperm, using microinjection pipette. This is done when sperm count is very less. In such cases, sperms are retrieved directly from aspiring father’s testes or epididymis.
Embyo transfer
An embryo transfer is the last part of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. During IVF, fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries into releasing healthy eggs/ovum. These eggs are then removed from the aspiring mother’s ovaries and fertilized in a lab. Once the fertilized eggs have multiplied, the embryos are gently placed in the uterine cavity through a fine cannula. Normally 2 or 3 embryos are placed in the uterine cavity.
Embryo Cryopreservation
Following fertilization and embryo culture, the best embryos are selected for embryo transfer. For many couples, there will also be good embryos which are surplus to those required for embryo transfer. These embryos can be frozen at this point for future use. The aspiring mothers, who fail to conceive, frozen embryos can be used for a subsequent cycle.

A kidney is one of the most important organs as it removes all the extra fluid and waste from the body. It is our kidneys that maintain a balance of minerals, salt and water. It is also true that no human being can live without a kidney and if waste is not removed from the body, it can lead to severe diseases.
Our Approach to Nephrology Patients
Kidneys need urgent care and treatment when they are completely damaged and can’t perform their functions properly. The problem starts with minor damage and if that isn’t treated on time, both the kidneys will get damaged and may stop working completely. If you see any symptoms related to a kidney, your doctor may recommend you to see a kidney specialist which is a Nephrologist. They are experts in diagnosing and treating all kidney diseases.

Treatment and Services
Pregnancy Complications
There are various pregnancy complications that every pregnant woman should have basic knowledge about. Some of these complications are:
Placenta Previa
It is a rare pregnancy complication also known as a low-lying placenta. In this condition, the placenta gets attached to the bottom part of the uterine wall and covers the cervix. When it becomes a serious condition, a pregnant woman can experience heavy bleeding. Visit a gynaecology hospital for treatment at an early stage.
Gestational diabetes
It is a type of diabetes that is often diagnosed during pregnancy. It is caused by insulin resistance in the body. In most cases, there are no noticeable symptoms but in rare cases, it can lead to jaundice, low minerals, and respiratory distress syndrome in the baby. Gestational diabetes can be treated by some changes in the diet and monitoring blood sugar levels.
Premature labor
Premature labor or premature delivery is a delivery of a child that occurs after the 20th week and before the 37th week of the pregnancy. Premature delivery is an intentional choice of the doctors in most cases due to some complications in a mother or a child. While at other hand, factors like smoking, uterine fibroids, history of multiple abortions or preterm births, can result in preterm labour.
Hypertension
High or low blood pressure is a serious common issue during pregnancy. High blood pressure occurs when the arteries become narrow and as a result, there is a poor flow of blood from the heart to other organs and to the placenta. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can result in another serious complication like preeclampsia. It can result in preterm labor or having a small baby.
Pregnancy Infections
There are a lot of bacterial or viral infections that can complicate a pregnancy case. These infections can be harmful to both the baby and the mother. Some of these infections like urinary tract infection, cytomegalovirus, bacterial vaginosis, hepatitis B virus, group B Streptococcus, influenza, toxoplasmosis, Zika virus, etc need treatment right away.Our Approach to Obstetrics & Gynaecology Patients

Ophthalmology (Eye Care)
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine and surgical procedures in every hospital that includes the diagnosis and treatment of various eye disorders.
Eyes are one of the most important sense organs of our body and it is the vision that helps us to see the beautiful world around us. But, with the increasing age or some other factors can affect this vision and cause problems.
An ophthalmologist is a specialised eye doctor that diagnoses and treats all kinds of eye disorders. When we experience any issues related to the eyes, we go to an ophthalmologist who is an expert in this field. He checks our eyes and also prescribes eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct the vision.
Treatment and Services
There are various eye disorders and disease that need treatments. Some of these disorders are:
Refractive Errors
Refractive errors are the most common types of vision errors that include myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. The causes behind all these vision errors can be different and hence they require different types of treatments as well.
Cataract
Cataract is a condition in which there is a cloud that forms on the eye lens. This condition can occur at any age and can also come by birth. In the treatment of cataract, the clouding that has formed is removed through a surgery. It is a common eye disorder that affects the vision of many people.
Glaucoma
It is a group of eye diseases that can result in serious vision loss or even blindness. This happens when the normal fluid pressure rises in the eye. This results in the damage of the eye’s optic nerve. Early diagnosing and treatment can save a patient to suffer serious vision loss.
Nyctalopia
It is a condition in which the eyes can not adapt the low-light conditions and result in night blindness. Naturally, our eyes have the ability to adapt to the low lights and see. But due to some existing eye disorder, this ability goes aways resulting in loss of vision during night time.
Dry eye syndrome
It is an eye disorder where the person has dry eyes. This is a condition in which your eyes can not make enough tears to keep your eyes moist. Dr eyes may result in redness, irritation, discharge, blurred vision, etc.

Osteoarthritis
It is the most common form of arthritis which affects millions of people worldwide. It happenswhen the protective cartilage at the ends of the bones wears down with time. The joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis are hands, knees, hips and spine.
Inflammation of joints
Joint inflammation occurs when the immune system or damaged tissue around a joint releases chemicals leading to swelling and redness in a joint. Certain medical conditions can lead to inflammation of multiple joints like arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosisi etc. Those having symptoms of arthritis should immediately consult the Orthopedic Hospital in Prayagraj for a timely treatment.
Spinal deformities and pain

Conditions that require Physiotherapy
These are some medical conditions like injuries, diseases or disorders that require physiotherapy. Some of these medical conditions are:
Joint Pain
– Joint pain refers to discomfort, aches, or soreness in any of the body’s joints. It can be due to arthritis, bursitis, lupus, etc. In severe cases where the pain is unbearable, your doctor may suggest physiotherapy for conditions like osteoarthritis, degenerative joints, poorly aligned joints, joint instability etc
Overuse Injuries
– These are caused by overuse of a joint or a muscle. If you have conditions like Carpal Tunnel syndrome, Repetitive Stress syndrome, shin splints, Iliotibial Band Syndrome, etc, visit a Physiotherapy Hospital.
Postural Problems
– Poor posture often leads to physical issues, such as neck and back pain, round shoulders, scapular instability, muscle weakness, muscle imbalance, poor muscle tone, hypotonia, etc. Some sessions with Best Physiotherapist in Hadapsar will cure you of your disease.
Recovery from Surgery
– You may need physiotherapy or rehabilitation after some surgeries such as athletic injury surgery, joint replacement surgery, ligament surgery, tendon surgery, cardiac surgery, lymph node removal, etc.
Muscle Pain
– Muscular pain can be a result of torn muscles, pulled/strained muscles, tight muscles, etc. In severe cases like fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, calf strain, pulled hamstring, groin strain, strained gluteals, abdominal strain, physiotherapy is recommended. It works wonders and provides relief in no time.
Soft Tissue Injuries
– Any rigorous activity can lead to soft-tissue injury of muscles, ligaments, or tendons. The may result in pain, swelling, bruising, and damage. Soft tissue injuries such as tendinitis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis), patellar tendinitis, Achilles tendinitis, whiplash, back strain, neck strain, rotator cuff injuries, and iliotibial band syndrome (ITB) show good results with physiotherapy.
Joint Injuries
– Joint injuries can result in joint inflammation or redness. Some joint injuries like joint sprains, dislocated joints, sprained ankle, sprained knee, sprained wrist, sprained elbow, degenerated meniscus, torn cartilage, unstable joints, joint hypermobility, are adequately healed with physiotherapy treatment.
Radiology
When you or a family member breaks a bone, or is suspected of having an illness, tumor or another condition, a radiology exam may be ordered.
Radiology, through different types of procedures and techniques, uses imaging technology to see inside your body. A diagnostic radiology exam allows a physician to pinpoint the cause of symptoms you’re experiencing, screen for different illnesses, like breast cancer, colon cancer, or heart disease and monitor how well your body is responding to a treatment you’re undergoing.
Radiology Services
The most common types of radiology services include:
General radiology – General radiology exams use standard x-ray technology, which can detect arthritis, fractures and pneumonia.
CT scan – Also known as a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan, this high-resolution imaging exam is performed to allow doctors to see many conditions and diseases that standard x-rays cannot detect, such as small tumors and disease progression.
Ultrasound – This technology sends out high-frequency sound waves that reflect off body structures. A computer receives the waves and uses them to create images of organs inside the body. Ultrasound is used during gynecologic and pregnancy exams, and to identify problems related to arteries in the neck, arm or leg veins, the abdomen, kidneys, thyroid, eyes and other parts of the body.
DEXA scan – Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), is an enhanced form of x-ray technology that measures bone loss.DEXA is considered the standard by which bone mineral density is measured.
3 Tesla MRI – 3 Tesla MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer to produce detailed pictures of areas inside the body. With this technology, doctors can see the difference between normal and abnormal tissue when diagnosing or gauging the progression of diseases like cancer.
Screening mammography – These low-dose X-rays can detect unsuspected breast cancers in their early stages. Screening mammography examines a woman’s breasts to detect cancer too small to be felt as a lump.
Nuclear medicine – With the ability to identify disease in its earliest stages, nuclear medicine is a valuable imaging technology. The procedure uses small amounts of radioactive materials (radiotracers) that are injected, inhaled or swallowed. The radiotracer travels through the area being examined and gives off gamma ray energy, which is detected by a special camera and a computer to create images.
Interventional Radiology – Interventional radiologists perform a broad range of procedures (X-ray, MRI scans, fluoroscopy to see internal organs in motion, CT scans and ultrasounds) to capture images inside your body. This remarkable imaging technology can be employed to treat tumors, take organ biopsies or place stents by inserting tiny instruments or catheters via an artery or vein.
