Question 8

When should I consult an ENT doctor for a blocked nose?

Accepted Answer

If blockage lasts beyond a cold, is always worse on one side, or comes with facial pressure or disturbed sleep. Dr. Dipen Thakkar sees this at Sachi Hospital in Maninagar.

Question 9

What are common symptoms of sinusitis?

Accepted Answer

Blocked nose, thicker discharge, facial pressure and a reduced sense of smell. Many episodes follow a cold and settle. Lasting or repeated symptoms should be assessed.

Question 10

What can cause repeated nosebleeds?

Accepted Answer

Dryness, nose picking, allergy and a visible vessel on the septum are common. A bleed that will not stop, or bleeds with easy bruising, should be seen promptly rather than only pinched at home.

Question 11

What are nasal polyps?

Accepted Answer

Polyps are soft swellings of the sinus lining. They can block the nose and reduce smell. If they are found during an ENT examination, treatment is planned individually. Not every blocked nose is caused by polyps.

Question 12

What can cause ringing in the ears?

Accepted Answer

Ringing often accompanies hearing change, noise exposure, wax or ear disease. Mention it when you are seen for hearing or ear symptoms so it is not ignored. It is assessed with the ear, not treated from this page.

Question 13

What should I bring to an ENT appointment?

Accepted Answer

A list of medicines already tried, previous scan reports, and notes on how long symptoms have lasted. For a child, a parent who has seen the night-time breathing is helpful.

Question 14

When should pelvic pain be assessed?

Accepted Answer

If pelvic pain is new, severe, keeps returning with periods, or comes with fever, bleeding or dizziness. Severe one-sided pain with fainting needs same-day care.

Question 15

What symptoms should prompt urgent care in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Heavy bleeding, severe pain, a severe headache with visual change, or clearly reduced baby movements. Call Sachi Hospital on +91 90810 99957 or use emergency services. Do not send these through the website form.

Question 16

What can be discussed at a preconception visit?

Accepted Answer

Cycle regularity, existing illnesses, medicines, and folic acid. It is a planning conversation with the gynaecology team, not a promise of pregnancy.

Question 17

Which doctors consult at Sachi Hospital?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Dipen Thakkar, ENT surgeon. Dr. Kinjal Thakkar and Dr. Rajendra Thakkar, gynaecologists and obstetricians. Dr. Rajendra Thakkar is the senior obstetrician.

Question 20

Does the hospital offer emergency care?

Accepted Answer

Call or WhatsApp +91 90810 99957, or use the contact form and choose Gynaecology. Dr. Kinjal Thakkar and Dr. Rajendra Thakkar consult at the hospital.

Question 22

Does every sinus problem need surgery?

Accepted Answer

No. Many sinus problems settle with medical treatment. Surgery is discussed when symptoms persist, drainage stays blocked, or a scan and examination show a reason to operate.

Question 23

Can allergy and sinusitis occur together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nasal allergy can swell the lining and make sinus drainage worse. Both may need attention. Skin-prick testing is not listed as a service at Sachi Hospital.

Question 24

What is FESS?

Accepted Answer

FESS means functional endoscopic sinus surgery. The surgeon uses a narrow endoscope through the nose to open sinus drainage pathways. It is not the right operation for every person with a blocked nose.

Question 25

Is FESS painful?

Accepted Answer

The operation is done with anaesthesia. Afterwards people often feel blockage, mild bleeding and congestion for a period. Pain control and the expected course are discussed before surgery.

Question 26

What is navigation-guided sinus surgery?

Accepted Answer

It is endoscopic sinus surgery with a navigation system that helps the surgeon identify important structures during complex procedures. At Sachi Hospital this is offered by Dr. Dipen Thakkar for selected cases.

Question 27

Is navigation necessary for every sinus surgery?

Accepted Answer

No. Many sinus operations are done safely with the endoscope alone. Navigation is added when the anatomy or the extent of disease makes extra guidance useful.

Question 28

How do I know if this is allergy or sinusitis?

Accepted Answer

Allergy often causes sneezing and itching. Sinusitis more often causes facial pressure and thicker discharge. They can occur together. An ENT examination separates them.

Question 29

Does a deviated septum always need surgery?

Accepted Answer

No. Surgery is for blockage that matters in daily life and is caused by the septum. A small deviation found on examination can be left alone.

Question 30

What can cause ear pain or discharge?

Accepted Answer

Infection, wax, a cold affecting the middle ear, or a problem with the eardrum. Discharge should be examined rather than treated only with leftover drops.

Question 31

When should hearing loss be assessed?

Accepted Answer

If hearing stays down after a cold, is worse in one ear, or drops suddenly. Sudden loss should be seen promptly.

Question 32

When should hoarseness be checked?

Accepted Answer

If the voice stays rough for more than about three weeks, or sooner if there is pain, breathing difficulty, or a neck lump.

Question 33

When should a child be evaluated for enlarged adenoids?

Accepted Answer

If the child mouth-breathes, snores most nights, has pauses in breathing during sleep, or has repeated ear infections with nasal blockage.

Question 34

Do you treat children's ear and throat infections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Dipen Thakkar provides paediatric ENT care for ear infections, throat and tonsil problems, and breathing or snoring issues.

Question 35

Does snoring always mean sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

No. Snoring can occur without apnea. Pauses, choking and daytime sleepiness raise the possibility of apnea and should be assessed rather than assumed.

Question 36

What can cause vertigo?

Accepted Answer

A common cause is a short-lived inner-ear problem. Hearing change, headache or neurological symptoms need a wider check. The cause is not decided from the word vertigo alone.

Question 37

What happens during a gynaecology consultation?

Accepted Answer

The doctor asks about your symptoms, cycles and medical history. An examination or scan is suggested only if it will help, and you can ask questions before it goes ahead.

Question 38

What should I ask at a pregnancy visit?

Accepted Answer

Ask about your scan schedule, warning symptoms, delivery options and when to come in if labour starts. Write the questions down before the visit.

Question 39

Do you handle both normal and caesarean births?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The team manages normal and caesarean deliveries, including high-risk pregnancies, with 24-hour availability.

Question 40

Do you provide 3D/4D pregnancy sonography?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sachi Hospital offers 3D and 4D sonography on site, including as part of NT and anomaly pregnancy assessment.

Question 41

What makes a pregnancy high risk?

Accepted Answer

Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, previous birth complications or a concerning scan. Your obstetrician will say which factors apply to you.

Question 42

What is PCOS and how is it evaluated?

Accepted Answer

PCOS is a common hormone condition linked with irregular cycles. Evaluation includes your cycle history and, when needed, examination, ultrasound and blood tests. Treatment depends on your goal.

Question 43

When should irregular periods be assessed?

Accepted Answer

If cycles are often shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, if bleeding is heavy, or if pain stops you working. A late period after sexual activity should be checked for pregnancy.

Question 44

What is checked in an infertility visit?

Accepted Answer

How long you have been trying, the cycle, previous pregnancies and illnesses. Tests of ovulation and, when indicated, the uterus, tubes and semen follow from that history.

Question 45

What are common menopause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Hot flushes, sleep change, mood change, vaginal dryness and irregular cycles in the transition. Bleeding after menopause should be reported rather than waited out.

Question 46

What preventive checks can I discuss?

Accepted Answer

Cycles, pelvic symptoms, contraception, pre-pregnancy health and menopause. The doctor will say which tests are useful for you and which are done elsewhere if they are not available here.
