Dedicated to the complete well-being of women, Dr. Punj Artemis Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals) organized a special Treatment Awareness Program on the theme “PCOD and the Importance of the Right Diet.” The event was conducted at Puni Hospital, where renowned Obstetrician & Gynecologist Dr. Monica Punj addressed women on the significance of health awareness.
In today’s time, PCOD has become a common yet serious concern among women. Changes in lifestyle, stress, irregular eating habits, and lack of physical activity are some of the major contributing factors.
The program began with a powerful message:
“Understand PCOD, nurture your health—because awareness is the first step toward treatment.”
Dr. Monica Punj explained that PCOD is not just a hormonal issue—it can affect a woman’s overall health, mental well-being, skin, weight, and reproductive capacity. She highlighted that a balanced diet can bring up to 50% improvement in managing PCOD symptoms.
She further guided women on how incorporating low glycemic index foods, leafy vegetables, protein-rich meals, adequate hydration, and regular exercise into daily routine can significantly help control PCOD.
Delivering an important message, Dr. Punj said:
“Before medicines, it is essential to correct daily habits…
The mantra to defeat PCOD is—right diet, right routine, and the right information.”
Women attending the event asked several questions related to PCOD, all of which were answered by the expert in a simple yet scientific manner. Participants were also provided free health counseling and basic screening services.
The primary objectives of the program were to:
- Create awareness about the rising risk of PCOD
- Educate women on the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle
- Emphasize timely diagnosis and treatment
- Promote awareness of women’s health within society
The significant participation of women at the event reflected the growing need and acceptance of health awareness in the community.
In conclusion, Dr. Punj Artemis Hospital reaffirmed its commitment to continue conducting such health awareness programs to empower women and strengthen community health.
“Healthy Women—Healthy Society!
Understand PCOD, Improve Your Life.”**
