#Cycling has multiple benefits. It is a form of cardiovascular exercise that increases your overall fitness. It increases the muscle strength, improves joint mobility and postures, decreases stress levels and keeps our body healthy. Casual cycling at a moderate speed of 20 kmph for 40 minutes can burn as much as 400 calories. So if it takes a total of 80 minutes to ride to your office and return home, you can burn as much as 800 calories a day. So consider cycling to your office at least once a week. #Fitness #CyclingToOffice #DailyWorkout #gastrosurgeon ‪#SpringfieldWellnessCentre #drmaran 

While we sit on a western toilet, our body typically is in a 90 degree position. The squatting position of the Indian toilet on the other hand gives a 35 degree position to the body. At this position, the body feels natural to pass the stools without having to constrain ourselves. Western toilet increases constipation. Since Constipation is a bigger factor behind hemorrhoids or piles, western toilets are not recommended in general. #Piles #Hemorrhoid #GastroChennai #GastroSurgeon #DrMaran #SpringfieldWellnessCentre

We know that #bile neutralizes stomach acid as it is alkaline in nature. Bile is also a digestive juice that helps in detoxifying the many toxic elements that gets inside the body. Anything toxic in the body comes to the liver. These toxins are absorbed by the bile from the liver and enters the digestive system only to be removed. This detoxification process helps in keeping the body healthy by removing the negativity associated with the toxins. #gallbladder #gallstones #gastrochennai #gastrosurgeon ‪#‎SpringfieldWellnessCentre #drmaran

We normally think something small will not be complicated. The reverse is true when it comes to #Hernia. Yes, smaller the hernia, bigger is the complication. To understand it better, we can compare it with a small tear in a shirt. A bigger hernia would allow the bulging intestinal layer more freely into the hernial breach. Hence the intestine moves freely inside the hernia breach. On the other hand, if the hernia is small, the intestine that bulges in the hernial breach can get caught up and can result in pain and other complications. #RareHernia #herniasurgery #drmaran #gastrochennai ‪#‎SpringfieldWellnessCentre

#SpigelianHernia is a rare abdominal #Hernia. It generally occurs in individuals who are in their 50s or 60s. The front part of our stomach region has a muscle called #Rectus #abdominis which runs vertically from the ribs to the pubic area. One more muscle that runs horizontally is #Transvers abdominis. If the abdominal content (intestine or fatty tissues) protrudes through the gap between the two muscle layers of the abdomen in the lateral region, the Hernia is termed as #Spigelian #Hernia. This Hernia type however can be diagnosed accurately only by a CT Scan as no typical bulge is manifested unlike other abdominal Hernias. This Hernia is extremely rare and is generally found in less than 1% of the population. #RareHernia #drmaran #gastrochennai ‪#‎SpringfieldWellnessCentre

I operated on a senior dctor and removed his gallbladder because of the presence of gallstone. The irony is he had gallstones for over 15 years and kept posponing the surgery. What happened after 15 years to him? Here is my blog on why we should not postpone gallbladder stone removal surgery. #GallbladderRemoval #Gallstones #gastroChennai #SpringfieldWellnessCentre #DrMaran http://www.drmaran.com/impacts-of-postponing-gallbladder-removal-surgery-for-gallstone-presence/

In the tip of the anal canal there are clump of tissues filled with blood vessels, muscles and fibroid materials that gives a sort of cushion. This region is also referred as Hemorrhoid.   If complex Hemorrhoid tissue gets dilated by normal blood vessels with blood, the condition is referred as Piles or Hemorrhoid.
