The published paper – Single-Dose Oritavancin in the Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin Infections illustrates the highlights of the study and its results. Dr. Ashwin Porwal was an important part of the team who conducted research on this topic. He is among the first authors of this scientific paper published in the journal The New England Journal of Medicine.
In this research study, 63 patients with more than 90% patient compliance were involved. Those patients were classified in to wound infection, cellulitis and major cutaneous abscess.
‘Piles’, clinically known as ‘Haemorrhoids’ and vernacularly known as ‘Mulvyadh’ in Maharashtra, are inflamed blood vessels located near the anal opening, causing the lining of the anal canal to slide down. Piles appear as small lumps formed on the surface of the anus inside the back passage. When the pressure on anal blood vessels increases, they swell and enlarge to form small lumps i.e. Haemorrhoids. They can develop inside or outside the anus, according to which they are classified as internal and external haemorrhoids.
Suffering from piles is painful and equally embarrassing. Many people try out conventional home remedies rather than consulting a physician about primary symptoms. Most of Piles cases cure within a few days without medication and further surgical intervention. However, home remedies may not always be helpful in curing the ailment. It’s better to visit a specialist, if home remedies don’t seem to deliver positive results and piles recurrently develop.
There’s nothing to feel awkward, if you are suffering from Haemorrhoids because it’s one of the most common lifestyle diseases. As soon as you notice any symptom indicating the occurrence of Piles, it’s advisable to discuss the same with a Colorectal Surgeon.
Common Symptoms of Piles
Anal itching & recurrent bleeding
Mucus discharge
Painful & strained bowel movements
Dragging sensation in the back passage
Sliding down of the anal parts
According to the extent and inflammation, Haemorrhoids are classified in four stages. The symptoms and treatment alternatives become complex, as the ailment worsens from Grade I to Grade IV. When diagnosed in Grade I or II, Piles can be cured by home remedies, medication, physiotherapy and dietary modifications. However, it’s difficult to cure it in Grade III & IV without surgical intervention.
Detection of Piles
Piles can be diagnosed through physical examination and in some cases, advanced diagnostic techniques such as Colonoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy need to be performed

Urban cities are offering global cuisine, with fast food joints gaining maximum popularity. Even local fast food/street food joints are buzzing. Traditional home-made food is taking a backstage owing to busy lifestyles of professionals both young and old. “Eating out” is an important part of socialization. Besides, when there is no time to cook, processed and packaged products may appear to be saviors. Be warned! While you are busy chasing your careers, these foods act as wolves in sheepskin.
Hemorrhoids or Bawaseer is an increasing health concern in India. About 4.7 % Indians are affected by hemorrhoids, and the percentage is on the rise.Nearly 10 lakh new cases are reported annually. It is no big surprise especially with the changing trends in food intake. A diet lacking in fiber and erratic dietary habits can cause constipation which is directly linked to hemorrhoids.
Dietary fiber is the indigestible part of food which is derived from the plant source. It has several beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal system as follows:
It adds volume to the food and gives satiety.
It absorbs water and helps to soften the stools as a result.
It quickens the passage of food which helps in defecation.
It adds bulk to the stool and therefore helps prevent constipation.
It helps maintain the pH level of the gastrointestinal system.
In this age of globalization and modernization, do you know that around 80% of the Asian and African population still uses traditional herbal medicines rather than modern medicines, when it comes to primary healthcare? It’s a fact proven in a global level survey, which also highlights that more number of developed nations are moving towards adopting traditional medicine system. This not only underlines sheer effectiveness and popularity of herbal remedies but also raises the question – do herbal remedies really play an important role in treating various ailments? The answer is YES.
Let’s now emphasize the use of traditional herbal medicines in India.

We have always believed in the best and practiced the best at Healing Hands Clinic and to add on to this, we introduce Pune’s first biofeedback machine (sphinctometer) for ODS(a form of chronic constipation), stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor dyssynergia.
Biofeedback is the process of gaining greater awareness of your pelvic floor muscles, their strengths, functions and at the same time it provides you with the information on the activity of your muscles with a goal of manipulating them at will.
Pelvic floor muscles are which stretch between your pubic bone and tail bone, cradling your bladder, bowel,uterus,urethera,helping you to control your urine bowel movements and also sexual functioning.
Damage to pelvic floor not only contributes to urinary incontinence but can lead to pelvic organ prolapse.In females, the muscles can be damaged in pregnancy/childbirth/hysterectomy.
Studies show that up to 50% of patients with chronic constipation have pelvic floor dysfunction or dyssynergia, this condition is characterized by impaired coordination between pelvic floor relaxation and abdominal wall motion, which is necessary for normal defecation.
Biofeedback helps the patient to modify bowel habits by restoring defecation, which normally entails propulsive forces coordinated with relaxation and as mentioned earlier, it helps in strengthing of Pelvic Floor Muscles and thus curing and preventing stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
And now, here at Healing Hands Clinic we provide you with this facility, ensuring to give you the best and continue curing with care, under the guidance of Dr Ashwin Porwal, who owns the credit of performing first STARR surgery for Obstructed Defecation Syndrome and has also performed surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse and has not looked back since then.
