A woman’s health is not just her personal concern—it impacts her entire family and society. A healthy woman ensures a happy and thriving household. However, due to household responsibilities, office work, and other commitments, women often neglect their own health. Recognizing this issue, EMC Cradle Hospital, Amritsar, has launched a special initiative to encourage women to prioritize their well-being.
Prioritizing Women’s Health
Senior gynecologist at EMC Cradle Hospital, Dr. Monica Maheshwary, emphasizes that a woman’s health is not just about her physical condition but also about her mental and emotional well-being. Poor diet, stress, a hectic lifestyle, and lack of exercise are contributing to a rise in various health issues among women, including PCOD, thyroid disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases, osteoporosis, and stress-related problems.
According to Dr. Maheshwary, it is crucial for women to take care of their health and undergo regular medical check-ups. Some key health aspects that require attention include:
- Gynecological Health: Women should regularly monitor menstrual irregularities and undergo screenings for uterine and ovarian health issues.
- Breast Cancer Prevention: Women above 40 should have regular mammograms for early detection of breast cancer.
- Hormonal Balance: Sudden weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, and menstrual disturbances could indicate hormonal imbalances, necessitating thyroid and hormone tests.
- Bone Health: After 35, women’s bones start weakening, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Tests like DEXA scans can help in early diagnosis and prevention.
- Mental Well-being: Managing stress, anxiety, and depression through yoga, meditation, and a balanced lifestyle is essential for overall health.
EMC Cradle Hospital’s Special Initiative
Hospital Director, Mrs. Samiksha Arora, stated that EMC Cradle Hospital is fully committed to women’s health. With a team of expert doctors and state-of-the-art facilities, the hospital offers comprehensive healthcare solutions tailored for women.
Additionally, EMC Cradle Hospital is conducting free health check-up camps, awareness programs, and wellness camps to educate women about health issues and encourage timely medical consultation and treatment.
Healthy Women, Happy Families
The mission of EMC Cradle Hospital is not just to treat illnesses but to inspire women towards a healthy, happy, and self-sufficient life. When women prioritize their own well-being, they can create a healthier family and society. Through this initiative, the hospital urges all women not to neglect their health and to undergo regular medical check-ups to lead a long, happy, and healthy life.
