Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies in children, but diagnosing it can be challenging. Unlike adults, children may struggle to explain what they are feeling, making it harder for parents and healthcare providers to recognize the warning signs. 

Younger children, in particular, may have difficulty describing pain, discomfort, or changes in their symptoms. This raises an important question: can children accurately describe appendicitis symptoms? Understanding how children communicate their symptoms can help parents seek timely medical care and reduce the risk of complications shares Dr Amita Jain, Sr General, Laparoscopic Surgeon, and one of India’s top specialist surgeon for appendicitis surgery in Delhi and India...

Gallbladder removal surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, changes how your body digests fats. The gallbladder’s job is to store and release bile in response to fatty meals. After it’s removed, bile flows directly from the liver into the intestine in a steady but less concentrated way. Because of this, your body may struggle to process oily and fried foods, especially in the early recovery phase. Knowing how to reintroduce such foods safely is essential, says Dr Amita Jain, a Senior General and Laparoscopic Surgeon and a specialist gallbladder removal surgeon in Delhi and NCR.

Can You Safely Eat Fried Food After Gallbladder Surgery?

Yes, but not immediately and only in moderation. In the weeks following surgery, your digestive system is still adjusting. Eating fried food too early or in large quantities can lead to bloating, loose motions, nausea, or abdominal discomfort. This is because your body is not yet efficient at breaking down high-fat meals...

Gallbladder problems are often associated with stones, but not every abnormality inside the gallbladder is a stone. One lesser-known condition is a gallbladder polyp — a small growth that develops on the inner lining of the gallbladder. Most polyps are harmless and discovered incidentally during an ultrasound done for abdominal pain or digestive discomfort. However, some types may require careful monitoring or treatment, especially if they grow in size or show suspicious features.

Understanding what a gallbladder polyp is, how it presents, and when treatment is necessary helps patients avoid unnecessary fear while ensuring timely care, says Dr Amita Jain, an experienced senior general and laparoscopic surgeon and specialist in treating gallbladder polyps in Delhi...

Acid reflux is often brushed off as a lifestyle issue—too much spicy food, late-night meals, or stress. While these triggers do play a role, many people continue to suffer despite making dietary and lifestyle changes.

This leads to an important question: Is something structural going wrong inside the body? One frequently overlooked culprit is a hiatal hernia, a condition that can silently fuel persistent acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Understanding the connection between the two can help you seek more effective, long-term relief, shares Dr Amita Jain, who is one of the most experienced general and laparoscopic surgeons in Delhi and India...

Anorectal disorders such as piles, fissures, fistulas, and pilonidal sinus are more common than people realise, yet they are often ignored or treated late due to embarrassment and fear of surgery. Traditionally, these conditions required open surgical procedures that involved significant pain, longer hospital stays, and extended recovery periods. With advancements in medical technology, treatment has evolved toward more precise and patient-friendly approaches.

One such innovation is laser proctology, a modern technique that is revolutionising the treatment of anorectal conditions. It offers effective results with minimal discomfort, making it a preferred option for both patients and surgeons, says Dr Amita Jain, a senior general and laparoscopic surgeon and one of the top anorectal surgeons in Delhi and India...

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, health concerns are often pushed aside until they become impossible to ignore. Between deadlines, responsibilities, and constant digital engagement, subtle physical signals are easy to dismiss. Yet the body has its own quiet way of warning us long before a serious problem develops. One such warning is pain on the right side of the abdomen after eating, especially following oily or fatty meals.

Many people mistake this discomfort for acidity, gas, or indigestion and manage it with antacids or painkillers. However, when the pain becomes intense, persistent, or repeatedly sends someone to the emergency room, the real cause is often a gallbladder problem. Right-sided abdominal pain can be misleading because it overlaps with symptoms of conditions such as IBS, kidney stones, appendicitis, hernia, or even gynaecological issues. This makes understanding the source of pain crucial.

In this article, Dr Amita Jain, a senior general and laparoscopic surgeon and one of the best specialist surgeons for gallbladder stone removal in Delhi and India, explains how right-sided pain after meals may be your gallbladder’s way of asking for attention...

An inguinal hernia, often called a groin hernia, occurs when a portion of the intestine or abdominal fat pushes through a weakened section of the lower abdominal wall. This condition is particularly common in men and can affect one or both sides of the groin. Although many hernias start small and painless, they tend to grow over time and can lead to complications if not treated properly, says Dr Amita Jain a leading general and laparoscopic surgeon in Delhi and Inguinal hernia specialist.

What Is an Inguinal Hernia?

The inguinal region houses a natural passage known as the inguinal canal. When the abdominal muscles in this area weaken, tissue may protrude through the opening and form a hernia.

There are two major forms of inguinal hernia, says Dr Amita Jain who is a top inguinal hernia surgeon in Delhi.

Indirect inguinal hernia, usually present from birth due to incomplete closure of the canal, and direct inguinal hernia, which develops later in life as the muscles lose strength or undergo strain...

Pilonidal cysts are a fairly common yet often neglected condition that can cause persistent pain and discomfort if not treated on time. Many people tend to ignore the early symptoms, which allows the problem to worsen and eventually become chronic. Dr Amita Jain, a renowned senior general and laparoscopic surgeon, and one of India’s most experienced pilonidal sinus surgeons, explains what a pilonidal cyst is, how it develops into a chronic condition, and the best ways to manage it…
