I had been struggling with bladder control since a very young age. I had gone from countless pediatricians to countless gynecologists and urologists explaining my symptoms, to no end. I used to have a burning sensation on peeing every time and sometimes it would get so bad that I would bleed from my urethra. I would be inside an emergency room howling with pain every 3 months. I would explain my symptoms endlessly to the on-call doctors the follow-up Gynecologist or the urologist in the OPD the next day, just to be told that my symptoms were not that severe and I must have had early period spotting. I was always handed a pack of antibiotics for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and pain medication and sent on my way. I had really lost my faith in medical science for women to the point I would go to the emergency room and never go for the follow-up OPD as I knew exactly what I would be prescribed - an overly strong anti-biotic and pain meds followed by "drink cranberry juice or have cranberry supplements". I discovered so much medication for myself on my own by reading on the internet and started experimenting and trying to increase my pain threshold. Until one day I came across Dr. Karishma's profile and I decided to get on a video consultation with her. She did not dismiss my pain. She did not dismiss my claim to have blood in my urine or coming from my urethra. She was the first doctor to believe me and she told me that I maybe don't have UTI in the first place and maybe this is a bigger problem. she called me in for a physical examination and for the first time it was informed to me to get to the root of my problem I diagnostic procedure called cystoscopy will have to be performed. I underwent the cystoscopy which she herself performed on me. she took care of me after the procedure to ensure I was not in any kind of pain. And after that, she gave me the diagnosis that I had been searching for my entire life - interstitial cystitis. It is a chronic disease of the bladder which causes UTI-like symptoms but is not UTI. She started my treatment course. And ever since I walked into her office, I have not had to see the insides of an emergency room again. it has been 11 months. She has helped me greatly with my condition. I do not have to live in fear of peeing anymore. I can finally pee pain-free all thanks to her. and my bladder has not bled once since I met her. She is a brilliant urogynecologist, the smartest doctor I have met in my life, and the friendliest and most caring person. She will move her schedule around her patients' needs. She will listen patiently and without any judgment. She even helped me with my extremely painful period cramps due to PCOS, which would render me bed-ridden for many days. She has been the best thing to happen to me.

I Aminder Preet(43years) was suffering from Uterine Prolapse & frequent urination problem. I met many doctors but didn’t get any satisfactory relief. One of my friend recommended Dr Karishma. I met her in July 2019 for the first time. She listened to my problems patiently & then she explained me about my problem in detail & also the line of treatment. She convinced me in such a manner that it was very easy for me to take decision about hysterectomy. Hysterectomy at this was a nightmare for me but she explained each & every aspect in detail & in very general terms then I didn’t take much time to decide. She is one doctor who takes all necessary steps to avoid any risk for example she not only helped me to improve my HB & Iron levels but also treated my inflamed bladder by instillations. Not only in terms of treatment she is a great moral & emotional support. Just after a month I met Dr Karishma there was a sudden shock in my life as in the month of August my husband had to undergo brain surgery which was very critical, my life was shattered & I was not able to think or take care about my problem there Dr Karishma was a great emotional support & guided me & finally in the month of November Dr Karishma& Dr Hegde did my hysterectomy. Dr. Karishma helped me to recover fast with help of physiotherapy. She is a wonderful person & she came like an angle in my life as now I feel much healthy & better. My life is back on track. I strongly recommended Dr Karishma T if someone is facing this problem.

I can't thank Dr. Karishma enough. So here goes my story. In July, 2020, I experienced burning sensation while passing urine. I consulted a doctor & was prescribed with antibiotics. I took two courses of antibiotics. The burning sensation left but the pain & tenderness never went away. Further, I consulted several doctors (including specialists) who diagnosed me with UTI (even though my urine reports were coming normal). I was prescribed with antibiotics, antifungals & cranberry syrup. However, I didn't find any relief. I kept asking doctors if I have Bladder Pain Syndrome but didn't get any satisfactory answer. With each passing day my misery & anxiety kept on increasing. Then one day I randomly searched for Urogynaecologists on Google & came across Dr. Karishma. I read the feedbacks on the Practo app & could relate with many patients who had similar problem like mine. In the first visit itself, Dr. Karishma told me what was going wrong with my body & explained everything very calmly to me & my parents. She did a cystoscopy to confirm my condition & I was diagnosed with Bladder Pain Syndrome / Interstitial Cystitis. Then she started my treatment which included strict diet, bladder instillations, pelvic floor physiotherapy (very important part) apart from oral medications. Two months down the treatment I would say I am in a much better condition. During each visit, Dr. Karishma fills me with so much positivity & she has always guided me very well. The best part about her is that she is extremely sincere & dedicated towards her work & she's very punctual. She has a very positive & friendly attitude towards her patients because of which I didn't hesitate in asking her any questions. If anyone has any bladder related issues, I would highly recommend them to consult Dr. Karishma who not only identified my problem but has also given me with solutions. Thank you Dr. Karishma. :)

I visited Dr. Karishma in Delhi from the US. I was facing difficulty in urination. Symptoms were a very slow stream, frequent use of toilet (every hour) and frequent cases of UTI. After spending 2 years with top urologists in the US, my problem did not resolve. I was told this would stay for lifetime and the only way was to do self catheterization.
I reached out to Dr. Karishma via Practo for an opinion. I liked her approach very much that I decided to visit Delhi for treatment. She was very systematic in diagnosing the problem. She explained to me all possible causes of high urinary retention and started ruling out reasons one at a time, by running the necessary tests like Uroflowmetry, Urodynamics, MCU. She was super patient in answering my many questions. Her explanations were logical and she made it easy to understand and follow along why certain tests are needed and the treatment that would follow. The root cause was found to be a urethral stricture. This was unexpected for a person of young age like me especially given that I had no history of any surgery or childbirth. Dr. Karishma led the cystoscopy and surgery to remove the stricture. During my entire stay, she involved other doctors from her team as well to get a second opinion as needed. I did my visits at Sama Hospital, the staff at hospital was very cooperative and supportive which made my visits very comfortable.
Dr. Karishma fixed my problem 100%. The flow of urine stream improved drastically!
Instead of going to the toilet 12-13 times a day, I went to the toilet 4-5 times a day like a person with a normal bladder. I never had to do self catheterization on a daily basis like what the doctors in the US had recommended. Since I don’t have to use the toilet frequently, I am able to do day to day activities without having to worry about being around the toilet every hour whether it is at a restaurant, a place outside home, the office, the parks, etc. Getting treatment from Dr. Karishma has been a huge blessing for me. I am highly thankful and grateful to her for bringing my life back to normal.

I was having urine burning issue from about 10 years and few episodes of urine retention also. After numerous short term treatments with various urologists and gynaechologists, one doctor reffered me to Dr. karishma, who is uro gynaechologist. Before this I was not even aware that there is uro gynaechology also. She is one of the most patient doctors that I have ever met. The first time she spoke to me on call,before even consultation and gave me handsome 15mins to calm me down. At my first visit she spoke to me for 1 hour and took down entire history of my problem. She asked even for the tiniest details which even I couldn't remember. She understood my problem well and explained everything to me well. She explained me what was my problem, what could be the plausible cause, what will be the line off treatment and how long the treatment will have to continue. I was diagnosed with urethera stenosis which she establsihed with cystoscopy. This was fixed by urinary cathetrization for 15 days followed by bladder instillations , physiotherapies and diet modifications. My treatment went for about 3 months and all the while she remained very supportive. Even when I broke down in the intial 15 days (which were most difficult part of the treatment), she supported me on call late night also.She builds faith with the patient and is always available for whatever help may be needed. Today after 3months of treatment with her, I am a much better person with no urinary problems at all. I recommend Dr. Karishma to all those women who keep on having repeated and unexplained urinary problems.

I had hysterectomy and after the surgery, I was not able to pass urine. I was on catheter after the surgery for 7 days. After catheter was removed, I developed UTI. I had 3 courses of antibiotics, but my UTI never went away. I used to find it difficult to pee. My Gynaecologist referred me to a urologist. Both doctors were not able to understand the problem and my misery and anxiety kept on increasing. They claimed that I don’t have any problem and that I am unnecessary anxious. They started giving me anti anxiety medicines.
After one month of suffering, I found Dr Karishma profile on Practo. I visited her and in my first visit she heard me patiently and empathised with me. She did a very detailed study of my case. She understood by problem and assured me that I need not worry and that she can cure me completely. She started with the treatment and I was much better within 1st week of her treatment. Within one month of treatment, she cured me completely. She had been an angel for me. I really thank her from the bottom of my heart to help me and many patients like me. May god bless her.

I have a history of recurrent UTI since last 3 years post pregnancy.Another problem was Cyst (near Urethra) which got infected in every 3-4 months and I had to suffer pain, swelling and UTI. I consulted multiple gynaecologist and urologist but nobody could be able to find the exact cause. One of my gynecologist (Dr. Bindhu K S) detected the cause and suggested me to meet Aparna Hegde Mam in Kharghar Mitra Hospital. Dr. Aparna diagnosed the Cyst and operated through surgery. During surgery Aparna Mam identifed another infection in bladder (bladder inflammation). The cause of infection is due to recurrent Cyst infection. My surgery was successful for which i am thank ful to Aparna Mam.Currently i am in bladder installation process (Mam suggested 15 such installation). I am feeling much better after this process. Once installation is completed Aparna Mam suggested for Physiotherapy.I am lucky to have Aparna Hegde Mam as my Doctor. Mam is kind and always gives positiveness, hopes, better treatment which ultimately heals the disease.I am also thank ful to Dr. Vaishali (Asst.of Aparna Mam) for her 24/7 support. She is available anytime, suggest medicines and help me through out this Journey.Again Thank You MamYours' Hemlata Sahu 🙏🏻

My wife was suffering from Burning sensation for last almost 20 years. Burning sensation used to come very frequently. I visited many doctors to know the cause of the problem. but never got any satisfactory answer from any doctor. she always used to get blood traces in urine culture test and doctors used to say it is because of UTI. My was suffered a lot because of this issue. In june 2021 my niece suggested me to visit Dr. Karishma's clinic. I went to CUP, Sadiq Nagar to meet Dr. Karishma. In the first meeting itself dr. told that her issues is not UTI but some problem in the urine bladder. Dr. started treatment for the same. Dr performed cystoscopy on june 2021 and found the real cause the problem. The treatment went for almost 6 months. Dr suggested proper diet too. Now my wife is not having any issue.

I was experiencing problems of severe burning sensation and pain while passing urine every once in a while and the frequency of such problems increased over the last 8 years. It was accompanied with painful lower abdomen cramps as well and blood with urine a few times. Whenever I reported the issue to any gynaecologist or nephrologist or any other doctor, they diagnosed me with chronic UTI even when the urine culture reports were clean 90% of the times. I had tons of antibiotics through all these years degrading my overall experience uski tu of life and health. I was panicking all the time and as suggested by the doctors, stopped travelling, panicked at the thought of using public washrooms, started thinking of sexual activity as one of the causes and avoided physical closeness altogether. It was Dr. Karishma who diagnosed the problem, had a detailed first session of almost more than an hour where she patiently listened to everything and gave me hopes of recovery after explaining in detail what her diagnosis was and what the treatment would entail. She was God sent and turned my life around.
I followed the diet modifications and medication she gave me, bladder instillations as suggested and then cystoscopy. No complications at all. After almost 8-9 years of my life I had an entire year without any episodes of pain or burning or any other symptom and I cannot thank her enough for this.
I am still seeing her for follow up treatments and just sitting down and talking to her in itself is a healing process.

Dr Karishma Thariani is one of those doctors who really listens to your concerns. She doesn’t suggest you a bunch of medicines in one go without knowing your illness journey - since when you’ve felt it and what all you’ve been doing to treat it so far. I went to so many doctors for my UTI but I never got a valid explanation of why my urine culture always came back negative after I had been diagnosed with a UTI. She instead told why I was feeling the symptoms I was feeling. Even when I visited her in person, she was extremely calm and polite with me and made the whole experience extremely relaxing. She was able to assess my concern quickly which prevented me from making multiple trips. Her staff is tremendously helpful and very quick to send reports and respond online.
