Some issues Dr. Parul Do Sharma, DO can help you with:

Depression

Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."

Some common symptoms of depression include:

  • Feeling sad, guilty, empty or hopeless
  • Fatigue and a lack of energy and motivation
  • A loss of pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed
  • Unusual sleep or eating habits
  • Mental fog -- trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
  • Physical aches and pains
  • Suicidal thoughts or a preoccupation with death

We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.

Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.

Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are mental and physical illnesses that impact behavior, emotions, and thoughts about eating, food, body appearance, and weight. These disorders are characterized by preoccupations with food and physical size, resulting in dramatic lifestyle changes and adverse health effects. In the past, eating disorders were often diagnosed using BMI (body mass index), or by assessing someone's weight. Eating disorders specialists now recognize that eating disorders may occur in people of all sizes. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder (BED).

Anorexia nervosa, frequently referred to as anorexia, is a disorder where people severely restrict the types and quantity of food they eat. Those with anorexia have an extreme fear of eating and gaining weight and may repeatedly weigh themselves or engage in harmful behaviors such as excessive exercise or starvation. Those with anorexia often find themselves preoccupied with food, but unable to consume a healthy amount of it. This results in symptoms such as abnormally low BMI, vitamin deficiency, fatigue, fainting, and amenorrhea (lack of menstruation in women). Anorexia may cause bluish discoloration of the hands, brittle and falling out hair, yellowish skin, and lanugo (fine, downy hair). Left untreated, anorexia can lead to organ failure, brain damage, and even death.

Bulimia nervosa, typically called bulimia, is a disorder where people binge (eat large quantities of food) and purge the food that they just consumed by vomiting, laxative abuse, fasting, or excessive exercise. This behavior is usually motivated by a feeling of powerlessness over eating and a fear of weight gain or desire for weight loss. Bulimia can occur in underweight, normal weight, and overweight people. Symptoms of bulimia include acid reflux, intestinal distress, dehydration from purging, amenorrhea, and dental erosion from vomiting. Some people with bulimia have swollen parotid glands (salivary glands near the cheeks) and red scars and marks on the backs of their knuckles. Electrolyte imbalance from bulimia can be particularly severe and may lead to heart attack or stroke.

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder. People with BED feel that they are unable to control the amount of food they eat and may continue to binge after reaching a point of fullness. BED binges (consuming large amounts of food) are often accompanied by feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame. Symptoms of BED include obesity, acid reflux, weight gain, and dissatisfaction with one's body. People with BED tend to experience cycles of negative emotions and binges. Binges or BED episodes can be provoked by stress, boredom, restrictive dieting, depression, and other triggers.

Other common eating disorders include:

  • Pica, eating things that are not food, such as paper, ice, or soil
  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), disinterest in eating and avoidance of food
  • Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), abnormal eating that does not fall under any disorder

Many people with eating disorders do not consciously develop them, and have difficulty seeking treatment. For this reason, it's important to detect and treat eating disorders as early as possible. Treatment for eating disorders can vary from therapy visits to inpatient treatment, depending on the disorder and its severity. Treatment aims to not only restore physical health and correct negative behaviors, but to also promote psychological well-being and self-confidence.

Sexual Health Issues

Sexual health is a broad and loosely defined term that encompasses several extremely different areas of medicine. Sexual health not only includes physical health related to the act of sex, but also emotional, mental, or identity issues that can interfere with healthy sexuality. Because this scope is so broad, a huge number of health care professionals can accurately say they work in the sexual health specialty. Some of the many varied conditions included in sexual health include intimacy disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, LGBTQ issues, and sexual violence.

Sexual intimacy disorders are those that cause problems with the act of sexual intercourse, such as erectile dysfunction or vulvodynia. Erectile dysfunction, the inability to get or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual intercourse, is extremely common. It affects fully half of men over 40 to some degree. It is treated with medications, devices, or surgery. Vulvodynia, burning pain in the vulva that can be made worse with sexal activity, has no known cause. It is treated with oral or topical medications.

Sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, are bacterial or viral infections that are contagious in the bodily fluids exchanged during sexual contact. Barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, help prevent the spread of STDs. HIV is a virus that can be caught from an infected person's sexual fluids or blood. When the virus infects the body, it interferes with the immune system and causes the disease known as AIDS. There is no cure, but anti-viral medications can help people with AIDS live a long and healthy life. Herpes is also a virus found in sexual fluids, called HSV-2. It causes blisters that come and go on the genitals. There is no cure for herpes, but anti-virals can minimize outbreaks. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both bacterial infections. They are extremely common and often have no symptoms. The most common signs of an infection are burning pain and discharge. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can be treated with medications.

Reproductive health refers to both contraception and infertility treatment. Contraceptives prevent and plan the timing of pregnancy. Some, such as a vasectomy or tubal ligation, are extremely effective at preventing pregnancy. Others, such as spermicides, are less reliable. Popular contraceptives include condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, and diaphragms. On the other side of reproductive health, infertility is the inability to carry a pregnancy to term after one year of trying. It can be due to problems in either the man or the woman, and both genders are affected equally. In total, about 15% of the population suffer from infertility. Infertility treatments include medications and surgery.

Gay and transgender people have a few specific health care needs that may sometimes fall under the sexual health umbrella. First, many LGBT people still face discrimination from healthcare providers, so providing supportive and appropriate care is an issue. Because of social attitudes surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity, many gay and transgender people struggle with their identities. Rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide are all higher in this group. Providing mental health support and counseling to those in transition is critical. Finally, transgender patients who are undergoing gender affirmation require sensitive medical health care, including surgical and hormonal treatment.

Sexual violence can be defined as any unwanted or non-consensual sexual activity. It ranges from sexual harassment to touching to rape. It affects women more than men and is widespread: 1 in 4 women report being victims of sexual violence at the hands of a partner, and as many as 1 in 3 girls report their first sexual contact as being violent. Sexual violence has lasting physical and emotional consequences for victims, but educating both girls and boys can prevent violence. Care for those who have endured sexual violence includes counseling and mental health support, medical care, and legal support.

Sexuality is more than a reproductive requirement -- it is a form of expression and identity. Sexual health blends all these aspects of experience together and helps people lead sexually fulfilling lives.

I presented with moderately severe knee pain 2 yrs post knee surgery, limping around for many months, 2 rounds of PT; with arthritis diagnosis in both knees.  Dr Sharma reviewed an MRI, examined my knees.  He drained the ailing knee and gave an injection.  I am happy to say that after a few days off my knee, I'm walking a LOT better.  I'm definitely returning to Dr Sharma.  He's very pleasant, smart and has a great sense of humor.

I was SO impressed with this Dr. He was extremely helpful to me. He gave me hope that there was help on the horizon for my situation and gave me a referral to a provider that was in a new field that I had never heard of that will be able to provide me the exact help I have been searching for. He was kind, he listened to everything I had to say, and he was knowledgeable and reasonable. He was realistic but also very positive. I left his office feeling relieved and having a sense that I was going to get better physically and mentally bc of his help-and that is HUGE. I am so thankful that I was referred to him. His staff was also fantastic. A great experience all around.

Dr Sharma is always right on top of my care--The survey questions always ask if I have phoned the office outside of regular business hours...Although I have not called, I have messaged and I am always answered in a timely manner by with Dr Sharma or someone he has directed to give me a call. He reviews all my blood test results and always adds a note to them so I know he has reviewed them and whether there is a need for concern. Dr Sharma also understands that sometimes it is easier for me to do a video appointment and always assures me that I can easily switch to an in person appt if something changes.

This was a first time visit with Dr Sharma who was recommended by my sister. I haven't been to Pac Med in many, many years so there weren't any recent records. Dr. Sharma listened well and gave me valuable feedback. Everyone in the clinic was really nice, including the Tech who filled in my initial information in the computer. Dr. Sharma is a little outside my "in network", so probably won't go back, but I appreciated his time and responses. He was very knowledgeable and kind. He didn't make me feel like I was wasting his time. He was very patient, and I would highly recommend him!!

Dr. Parul Sharma is a good doctor and is very serious when it comes to diagnosing and treating an autoimmune disorder or arthritis but I feel he doesn't explain well your condition or the meds he puts you on unless you ask him. He never explains about your lab work. He just says it is fine. I asked him a question about my labs once and he acted as if I didn't trust him. I stay with him because he does well at treating your condition but he just doesn't have a good bedside manner. I don't think I have ever seen him smile. He is so serious.

What sets Dr. Parul Sharm apart is his exceptional diagnostic skills. It was truly remarkable how he was able to pinpoint my condition with such precision. His ability to listen attentively to my concerns, ask the right questions, and conduct a thorough examination allowed him to arrive at an accurate diagnosis in no time. His expertise in his field, coupled with his exceptional diagnostic abilities, made me feel confident in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a doctor/rheumatologist.

Dr Parul Sharma has provided excellent care and treat for my rheumatic arthritis. He clearly explained what are the possibilities medically, gave me enough time and information necessary to start the treatment, explained clearly the limitations and pros and cons of each medication. I have seen improvements and very positive results in the last few months. Very attentive and to the point. Would highly recommend doctor Sharma for anyone looking for a rheumatologist.

Dr Sharma takes the time to address all of my concerns, and is thoughtful about his approach to care. I feel like most providers only will look at my health through the lense of their specialty, but Dr Sharma doesn't do that. I feel like he looks at the whole person and helps to connect you to all the help that you need. I very much appreciate his model of care and how he ensures that I am getting the best care possible.

Dr. Sharma is kind and patient, he tries hard to understand what I'm going through and my needs. Having been diagnosed with RA about 18 months ago we are still working on the best treatment solutions. He does listen and I believe that he has my best interest in mind. I'm happy with all the doctors I see at this location and I'm extremely grateful that they all have the same information via my chat.

Dr. Sharma was excellent. The MA or nurse who took my weight & vitals was horrendous. She was rude from the moment she entered the room. She also never made eye contact, and chastised me for stepping on the scale wrong, holding my finger wrong with the oximeter and then forcefully twisted my wrist to get me to hold my finger the way she wanted me to. She was so horrid that I nearly got up and left.
