An experienced Ayurvedic doctor and Kshar Sutra specialist in Indirapuram, Dr. Sagarika blends age-old Ayurvedic wisdom with modern healing techniques. Known for treating anorectal conditions like piles and fistula, her personalized care and holistic approach focus on long-term wellness and minimal invasive procedures, making her a trusted name in Ayurvedic healthcare.

Dr. Sagarika Choudhary is a Ghaziabad-based Ayurvedic doctor and Kshar Sutra specialist, currently practising at Indirapuram.

With a strong foundation in Ayurvedic medicine and a focused specialization in Kshar Sutra therapy, she provides effective, minimally invasive treatment for anorectal diseases such as piles, fistula, fissure, and pilonidal sinus. Her clinical approach follows the principles of classical Ayurveda, particularly in treating disorders that require surgical intervention, yet without the invasive methods of conventional surgery.

She explains that Kshar Sutra is a specialized Ayurvedic surgical procedure, highly effective in managing anorectal conditions. Unlike modern surgeries that involve cutting of the skin and often result in high recurrence rates, the Kshar Sutra method significantly reduces chances of recurrence, provides long-term relief, and avoids major post - operative complications.

The therapy is especially beneficial for female patients, who often hesitate to approach male surgeons for such intimate health concerns. Dr. Sagarika, therefore, chose MS in General Surgery over MS in Gynecology, intentionally focusing on anorectal care so she could offer a women-friendly, Ayurvedic alternative in this sensitive domain.

When asked about her inspiration to pursue medicine, specifically Ayurveda; Dr. Sagarika attributes her initial influence to her father, who was also a BAMS-qualified physician. Although he later transitioned to managing their family-owned educational institution in Saharanpur, his early medical career made a profound impact on her professional aspirations.

After clearing the UPCPMT examination, she secured admission to a government BAMS college and accepted it wholeheartedly, supported by her parents. Initially unaware of the vast possibilities within Ayurveda, she began exploring its deeper potential only after progressing in her studies.

A major turning point came during her final year of BAMS, when she decided to apply Ayurvedic principles to treat her father’s medical condition. He suffered from hypoglycemia, a lesser-known but dangerous condition where the blood sugar level drops significantly—opposite to the more commonly known diabetes. As an insulin-dependent patient, he required three daily insulin injections (18–20 units each). Watching this routine, Dr. Sagarika became determined to manage his condition with Ayurveda.

Drawing upon her learnings in Kayachikitsa, she formulated her first herbal remedy tailored for hypoglycemia. Under her care, her father became her first patient. Through systematic application of Ayurvedic therapies, he experienced a notable reduction in insulin dependence. From an intense dosage regimen of 18–20 units three times a day, his requirement reduced to just 8–10 units—a testament to the effectiveness of her approach. His condition stabilized significantly, and his recovery deepened her faith in Ayurveda’s healing power.

This early success encouraged her to treat her uncle, who also had rising blood sugar levels. Word began to spread through her extended family, and by the time she completed her BAMS degree, Dr. Sagarika was already providing personalized Ayurvedic formulations to nearly 25 diabetic patients every month—all while still in the final year of the college. These initial cases became the foundation for her future practice, built on real results and personal motivation.

Dr. Sagarika Choudhary’s early life is deeply rooted in discipline, education, and quiet inspiration—values that have shaped both her personal philosophy and professional path in Ayurveda. Born and raised in Sarsawa, a town in the Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, she grew up in a family deeply involved in education. Her parents run their own school in Sarasawa, but they intentionally chose not to enroll her there to avoid any possible bias from teachers.

Instead, Dr. Sagarika started her formal education at the Air Force School. Although neither of her parents had a background in the Air Force, she cleared the entrance exam on her own merit and was admitted. Later, she transitioned to Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) for further schooling.

After completing her 12th grade, she appeared for the UPC PMT exam and secured admission into a government Ayurvedic college. She completed her BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) from the Lalit Hari State Ayurvedic College in UP and later pursued her MS in Ayurvedic Surgery from Shri Sai Ayurvedic Medical College in Aligarh.

Dr. Sagarika draws motivation from the powerful women around her, particularly her mother and her aunt —both of whom she proudly calls her role models. Her mother, a schoolteacher by profession, built her first school on rent, then constructed a full-fledged school building, and eventually went on to establish a CBSE-affiliated school up to Class 12.

Despite her busy schedule, her mother maintained impeccable discipline, never depending on anyone to drop her children to school or handle household responsibilities. Dr. Sagarika recalls that her mother always balanced her devotion to Radha Soami spiritual practices with her commitments as an educator and mother.

Her aunt served as another significant influence in her development. During her formative years, Dr. Sagarika confronted insecurities regarding her darker complexion, internalizing the societal perception that it might constrain her professional prospects—reflecting discriminatory attitudes still entrenched in numerous Indian communities. This narrative was fundamentally altered through the example of her aunt, who successfully manages four educational institutions while functioning as a mentor to all female members within their extended family structure.  She saw firsthand that perseverance and intellect overshadow any perceived shortcomings, and she began to hold her head high, seeing both her mother and aunt as living testaments of strength, leadership, and resilience.

In moments of doubt or discouragement, she turns to music and personal mantras for motivation. Two songs that have always uplifted her are Alan Walker’s “Strongest” and “Believers.” But the quote that defines her life philosophy is bold and powerful:

“When you find the key to success, some idiots change the lock. So forget the key and learn to break the doors.”

This quote, she says, reminds her that obstacles are inevitable, but she refuses to let them stop her. Instead of waiting for the perfect solution, she believes in creating her own—forcefully if necessary—with conviction and courage.

Reflecting on milestones in her personal and professional growth, she shares that she was once an accomplished kabaddi player during her school days, even reaching the national level. Although she couldn’t secure a position in the SJFI, she was considered among the best.

Transitioning to her BAMS degree—a professional medical path—she could not continue her practice rigorously due to time constraints. Yet her love for sports never faded. She remained active, finding ways to participate in badminton during her BAMS years. She proudly played badminton at the university level three times and continued to enjoy kabaddi, carrying her sporting spirit alongside her medical career.

In addition to medicine and sports, she occasionally writes poetry, finding in it another creative outlet that contributes to her sense of balance. She believes that equilibrium is essential: if she doesn’t play, she feels unsettled; if she doesn’t study, she feels incomplete. This rhythm of maintaining balance between learning and living is what defines her. She recalls how juniors and seniors were often surprised to see her playing badminton just two hours before an exam.

For Dr. Sagarika, milestones have never been just about awards or recognition—they are about collecting certificates, trying new things, and keeping life dynamic and meaningful. Her achievements lie as much in her attitude as in her accolades.

As a practicing doctor, she offers clear and grounded advice to patients and the general public: always prioritize your health. It is the cornerstone of happiness. She stresses that maintaining discipline in all aspects of life—eating, traveling, studying, even enjoying—is essential. Life is about balance, not extremes.

As an anorectal surgeon, she highlights a common but often neglected health concern—prolonged sitting. She explains that extended sedentary habits and poor water intake increase the risk of anorectal issues such as piles and fissures. She warns against long toilet sitting durations and emphasizes the importance of preventing constipation.

A clean stomach, she says, ensures a clean and healthy body. Her advice is simple yet powerful: avoid constipation, eat a fibrous diet, maintain hydration, and stay active. Along with good health, she recommends taking the name of God and keeping inner strength intact—because both physical and mental health go hand in hand.

When asked if there’s anything more she’d like to add, Dr. Sagarika turns her attention to aspiring doctors. If her juniors are watching, she wishes to reassure them that the medical life, though filled with ups and downs—from ragging to exams—is a part of growing up. One must enjoy the college phase and not take stress too seriously. She speaks candidly about her own experience: she once received a supplementary in her first year, despite being a bright student who cleared PMT with ease. She recalls being so nervous that she couldn’t tell her parents for three days.

But when she finally did, they simply laughed and reassured her. It’s college, they said—supplementary exams are common. “Don’t worry,” they told her. “You can even get a supplementary in Sanskrit if you're not paying attention—it happens!” This moment taught her that failure is a phase, not a label. She now tells students not to lose morale, not to panic over temporary setbacks, and to focus on what truly matters: studying well, living fully, and staying grounded.

Dr. Sagarika Choudhary’s path is a beautiful reflection of purpose, passion, and perseverance. What began with a desire to help her father has evolved into a life of service, healing, and empowerment—especially for women seeking safe, respectful, and effective healthcare.
