शर्म से परे: निवारक स्वास्थ्य सेवा पर एक नया नजरिया

टालमटोल, गलत जानकारी और सामाजिक कलंक सरल और इलाज योग्य एनोरेक्टल समस्याओं को अधिक जटिल बना सकते हैं। दिल्ली स्थित सर्जन डॉ. रोहित सिंह इस TEDxMoulsari Avenue वार्ता में प्रोक्टोलॉजिस्ट के रूप में अपने अनुभव के आधार पर बात करते हैं। वे ऑनलाइन स्वास्थ्य सलाह पर निर्भरता और चिकित्सीय योग्यता के बजाय आत्मविश्वास चुनने के जोखिमों पर चर्चा करते हैं। वार्ता स्वास्थ्य को निरंतर ध्यान का विषय मानने और वर्जित विषयों पर खुलकर बात करने का आग्रह करती है। वीडियो के साथ दिए गए TED के नोट के अनुसार, व्यक्त विचार वक्ता के अपने हैं।

• देर से इलाज और कलंक इलाज योग्य समस्याओं को कठिन बनाते हैं
• सत्यापित न की गई ऑनलाइन स्वास्थ्य सलाह के जोखिम
• योग्य डॉक्टरों से साक्ष्य-आधारित इलाज लेना

NOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker’s personal views and understanding of mindset, lifestyle, and disease. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf We invest in skincare, fitness, careers, and financial security—but how often do we invest in preventing illness before it becomes a crisis? This talk challenges the way we approach healthcare, particularly when it comes to conditions that society considers uncomfortable or embarrassing to discuss. Drawing from his experience as a proctologist, the speaker highlights how procrastination, misinformation, social stigma, and the growing influence of unverified online health advice can turn simple, treatable conditions into complicated ones. From relying on “Dr. Google” and social media to choosing confidence over competence, the talk examines the dangerous gaps between awareness, information, and evidence-based medical care. The speaker calls for a fundamental shift in perspective: stop treating health as something we address only when something goes wrong. Break the silence around taboo health conditions, seek qualified medical advice, and understand that there is no shortcut to good health—only consistent, informed choices. Dr. Rohit Singh is a general, laser and anorectal surgeon based in Delhi, practising at the Sushruta Anorectal Institute and Research Centre (SARI), Rohini. A gold medalist in General Surgery and a Fellow in Surgical Gastroenterology from IMS, Banaras Hindu University, he has spent his career at the intersection of traditional Ayurvedic surgical wisdom and modern colorectal medicine — most notably through his proprietary Graded Kshar Sutra TherapyTM, a sphincter-preserving, minimally invasive approach to complex anorectal disease. His clinical focus spans haemorrhoids, fistula-in-ano, pilonidal sinus, and anal fissures, with a special interest in patient education, de-stigmatising anorectal illness, and steering patients away from unregulated and misinformed treatment pathways toward evidence-based care.
