Where to find Dr. Kumar: Billroth Hospitals, 505, First Floor, OP Block, No: 11/59, Gajapathy Street, Shenoy Nagar, Chennai 600030. This is the single consulting and operating location, serving Ayanavaram and the surrounding areas of Ayanavaram, the ICF colony, Konnur High Road and the Perambur border.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Ayanavaram
Ayanavaram borders Perambur, whose railway station is a major junction on the Chennai Central to Arakkonam suburban section. For patients who prefer trains, that is the practical starting point.
By road, the route runs through Konnur High Road toward Kilpauk and then to Gajapathy Street. It is a short trip outside peak hours.
The ICF colony area generates a steady number of patients doing physically demanding work, and that occupational load is directly relevant to how quickly a hernia progresses and when it should be repaired.

What to Bring to Your First Consultation
- Any previous ultrasound or CT images, not just the printed report.
- A list of your current medicines, including blood thinners and diabetes medication.
- Details of any previous abdominal surgery, with discharge summaries if you have them.
- Clothing that allows a straightforward abdominal and groin examination.
When You Should Not Wait for an Appointment
If your hernia becomes suddenly and severely painful, turns hard and will not push back in, changes color, or comes with vomiting or fever, do not wait for a scheduled slot. Go to the nearest emergency department. Our emergency hernia care page explains what happens next, and the warning signs guide covers how to tell the difference.
Ayanavaram Patient Questions
I do heavy physical work. Will that affect my hernia?
Yes. Repeated heavy lifting raises abdominal pressure and tends to make a hernia enlarge faster, which usually brings forward the decision to repair it.
How do I get to the hospital from Ayanavaram?
By road through Konnur High Road and Kilpauk to Gajapathy Street. Perambur railway station is the nearest suburban rail option.
When can I return to heavy work after hernia surgery?
Longer than for desk work. Dr. Kumar sets a return date at your review based on the repair performed and the demands of your job.
