Dr. Nehal Patel

Dr. Nehal Patel is Consultant Proctologist at Healing Hands Clinic, Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, with more than 10 years of experience. Her current profile lists BAMS, MS in Ayurvedic General Surgery and a Diploma in Proctology, and Healing Hands reports more than 20,000 surgeries on her doctor page.

Her work is focused on female proctology and colorectal care, including piles, fissure, fistula, constipation and complex anorectal disease. The clinic specifically highlights MIPH for haemorrhoids, STARR surgery for selected constipation disorders and treatment of complex fistula wounds. Her practice offers a female-specialist option for patients who may delay care because of discomfort discussing anorectal symptoms.

Treatment planning depends on examination, bowel function, previous procedures and the anatomy of the condition. Constipation, bleeding or pain may require medical and dietary management before surgery is considered, while recurrent fistula, advanced haemorrhoids or structural outlet problems may require procedural treatment after appropriate assessment.

Healing Hands also records recognition for her work in women’s healthcare. For an international opinion, useful documents include previous proctology notes, colonoscopy or imaging, operative records and current medications. The final treatment recommendation should follow direct clinical examination, particularly in recurrent disease, pregnancy-related or post-delivery symptoms, or cases that have not responded to previous treatment.

Pelvic-floor assessment may also be relevant in selected constipation cases when symptoms suggest an outlet disorder rather than simple slow transit.
