Cardiology
Every heartbeat tells a story, and cardiologists listen carefully to diagnose, treat, and protect the rhythm of life.
Radha, 30, came in with pelvic pain and foul-smelling discharge for 10 days. She was embarrassed, hesitant, and had been self-treating with over-the-counter meds.
On speculum exam, I found a foreign body—a forgotten contraceptive sponge. Removal and antibiotics resolved her symptoms within days.
She cried—not out of pain, but relief and shame. “No one told me this could happen.”
The Lesson Learned
Listen without judgment—shame keeps women from speaking. Forgotten contraceptives and foreign bodies are more common than we think—ask the hard questions with gentleness.
