Kohli Hospital, a unit of EMC Hospital, organized a special awareness session to promote women’s health and well-being. The event featured renowned gynecologist Dr. Riya Mahajan, who addressed common myths and misconceptions surrounding menstruation with scientific facts.
Dr. Mahajan emphasized that menstruation is a natural biological process and should not be associated with shame or taboos. She highlighted that maintaining a balanced diet, following a regular routine, and engaging in physical activities during periods are completely safe. Unfortunately, widespread myths in society often negatively affect women’s health and confidence.
Key Highlights from the Session:
- Menstruation does not hinder normal life and daily activities.
- Proper hygiene and care help prevent infections and related health issues.
- Myths and misconceptions can adversely impact women’s mental health.
- Correct information and open dialogue empower women.
“Menstruation is neither a weakness nor a matter of embarrassment. Understanding it and spreading the right knowledge is vital for women’s health and confidence,” Dr. Mahajan stated.
Kohli Hospital remains committed to organizing such awareness initiatives to foster sensitivity toward women’s health and equality in society. The aim of this campaign is not only to provide information but also to eradicate false beliefs and help women embrace menstruation as a natural part of life.
