Gurdaspur, May 17, 2025 – In a significant initiative to raise awareness about women’s health, City Hospital (a unit of EMC Hospitals) organized a special session focusing on common health issues faced by women. The session was led by renowned gynecologist Dr. Riya Mahajan, who shared in-depth information about various physical and medical concerns commonly experienced by women.
The primary aim of the event was to spread awareness among women so that they can seek timely treatment and prevent several serious illnesses. Dr. Mahajan emphasized that today’s women frequently face challenges such as hormonal imbalances, menstrual irregularities, menopause-related concerns, fertility anxiety, fatigue, heart diseases, and reduced bone density. She pointed out that many of these issues may not show obvious symptoms initially but can have long-term detrimental effects on the body if left unaddressed.
Dr. Mahajan highlighted that negligence towards personal health and increasing lifestyle-related stress are often key contributors to these problems. She urged women to prioritize regular health check-ups, a balanced diet, consistent exercise, mental wellness, and family support, all of which are essential for maintaining good health.
During the session, Dr. Mahajan also discussed how hormonal imbalances and menstrual disorders can disrupt daily life but are entirely manageable if diagnosed and treated at the right time. She gave a detailed explanation of the physical and emotional changes women undergo during menopause, which can often lead to anxiety or depression, and emphasized the importance of professional guidance during this phase.
City Hospital, as part of its ongoing commitment to women’s health, is taking proactive steps by organizing such awareness sessions regularly. The hospital believes that its role is not just limited to treating illnesses but also to educating the community and encouraging healthy living.
The session saw active participation from local women, nursing students, and healthcare workers, who engaged in an open Q&A session to clarify their doubts. The hospital management also announced plans to hold future sessions on other important topics such as pregnancy, PCOS, motherhood journeys, and mental health in women.
City Hospitals continues to lead in community engagement, promoting a vision of preventive care and holistic well-being for all women.
