Amritsar – As awareness surrounding women’s health continues to grow, there are still certain health issues that often go unnoticed—developing silently and only becoming evident once they’ve reached a serious stage. One such commonly overlooked condition is Uterine Fibroids. These are non-cancerous growths that form within the walls of the uterus. They can vary in size, and a woman may have one or multiple fibroids. In many cases, fibroids present no symptoms. However, when symptoms do occur, they can include heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal pain, frequent urination, difficulty in conceiving, or fatigue. If left untreated, fibroids can severely affect a woman’s reproductive health and overall quality of life.
Dr. Punj Hospital (Manokamna Fertility Centre), a reputed unit of EMC Group, is playing a significant role in addressing this issue. The institution is actively working to spread widespread awareness about uterine fibroids and is encouraging timely diagnosis and treatment. The campaign is spearheaded by Dr. Monica Punj, one of the country’s leading obstetricians and gynecologists. According to her, “Uterine fibroids are a common problem, but they are not incurable. If detected early, they can be effectively managed through medications, hormonal therapy, or minimally invasive surgeries. Women must learn to listen to their bodies and seek expert advice without delay.”
Under the leadership of Dr. Punj and her expert team, regular awareness camps, health counseling sessions, and free screening clinics are being organized to inform women about fibroids, dispel myths, and empower them to take charge of their health. Samiksha Arora, Director of EMC Group, praised this unique initiative by Dr. Punj Hospital and stated, “Our aim is not just to treat diseases, but to prevent them through awareness. The focused campaign by Dr. Monica Punj and her team on uterine fibroids is a remarkable example of medical service and a revolutionary step toward women’s empowerment.” She also emphasized that EMC Group will continue to support such initiatives across all its healthcare institutions, keeping women’s holistic health needs in focus.
The core message of this initiative is: “From Awareness to Empowerment.” Dr. Punj Hospital believes that when women understand their health issues, they can make informed decisions. That’s why the hospital doesn’t limit itself to treatment alone—it embraces a comprehensive approach to women’s healthcare through education, counseling, and dedicated service. Looking ahead, Dr. Punj Hospital plans to extend this campaign to rural areas, schools, colleges, and women empowerment groups, ensuring every woman knows what fibroids are, what symptoms to look for, and why timely treatment is essential.
Health issues like uterine fibroids only seem intimidating until they are understood. The awareness campaign led by Dr. Punj Hospital is not only ensuring a safer health journey for women, but also giving them the confidence to take control of their lives.
