Online hematologist consultation
Hematology is the specialty for blood and bone marrow disorders. At VRA Health you can consult a hematologist online about anaemia that is not improving, abnormal blood counts, easy bruising or bleeding, clotting problems, or a blood report you want explained – from anywhere in India or abroad.
Most hematology decisions are made from your history and blood reports, so a video consultation is a practical way to get a specialist opinion, plan the right tests and follow up on treatment.
Our hematologist
Your consultation is with a super-specialist in clinical hematology:
- Dr. Sahitya – DM Clinical Hematology, AIIMS New Delhi
Conditions we help with
- Iron-deficiency, B12 and other anaemias that do not respond to treatment
- Thalassaemia trait and thalassaemia, sickle cell disease
- Low or high white cell, red cell or platelet counts on a routine test
- Easy bruising, nose or gum bleeding, heavy periods with a suspected bleeding disorder
- Blood clots (DVT, pulmonary embolism) and blood thinner questions
- Enlarged lymph nodes or spleen found on examination or a scan
- Follow-up of leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma alongside your treating centre
What an online consultation can and cannot do
It can: review your complete blood count, peripheral smear, iron studies and other reports, explain what they mean, start or adjust treatment, and plan further tests such as a bone marrow examination where needed.
It cannot: perform a bone marrow test, give a blood transfusion or infusion, or replace urgent in-person care when counts are dangerously low.
How to prepare
- Recent blood test reports, with dates (older reports help show the trend)
- Any bone marrow, scan or biopsy reports
- A list of your medicines, including blood thinners and supplements
- Notes on bleeding episodes or heavy periods, if relevant
Second opinions and patients outside India
Many families use VRA Health for a second opinion before a major decision, or to consult a hematologist they trust from abroad. You can share reports, scans and discharge summaries before the call, and the doctor will go through them with you in plain language. Medicines prescribed by a doctor in India may need a prescription from a local doctor before a pharmacy outside India will dispense them.
When to go to a hospital instead
Online consultations are not for emergencies. Go to a hospital at once for bleeding that will not stop, vomiting blood, black or bloody stools, sudden severe headache, fever while on chemotherapy or with very low counts, or sudden breathlessness or chest pain. In India call 108 (ambulance) or go to the nearest hospital; abroad, call your local emergency number.
