恥を超えて：予防医療への新しい視点

先延ばし、誤情報、社会的な偏見によって、簡単に治療できる肛門直腸の疾患が複雑化することがあります。デリーで働く一般外科・レーザー・肛門直腸外科医のロヒト・シン博士が、このTEDxMoulsari Avenueの講演で、肛門科医としての経験をもとに語ります。オンラインの健康情報に頼るリスクや、医学的な能力より自信を優先することの問題が取り上げられています。健康は問題が起きたときだけでなく、継続的に意識すべきものだと講演は訴えています。動画に付された TED の注意書きによれば、講演の見解は講演者個人のものです。

• 受診の遅れと偏見が、治療可能な疾患の管理を難しくする
• 未検証のオンライン健康情報のリスク

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.
