Women’s health-The cornerstone of every home

Metro India News | Hyderabad 

Health forms the very foundation of a woman’s strength. Women possess the power to uphold not only their families but also society at large. At every stage of life, girls and women have specific needs and opportunities, which they must leverage to safeguard their health. From childhood, adolescence, reproductive years, to menopause and beyond, women must actively care for their well-being. This year’s theme, ‘Give to Gain’, reminds us that prioritizing women’s health ensures the health of the entire family.”

Changes in lifestyle and dietary habits have further contributed to the problem. Long hours of sitting, easy access to junk and fast foods, and lack of physical activity are leading to multiple health concerns. The most common issues observed among women today include infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, reproductive system problems, mobility restrictions, and joint or back pain.

Childhood:

Alongside routine vaccinations, it is important to ensure administration of the Rubella vaccine. The HPV vaccine can help prevent cervical cancer, and the government now provides these vaccines free of cost. Parents are encouraged to involve children in sports such as tennis, badminton, swimming, or other physical activities. Schools should ensure at least an hour of daily physical fitness for students.

Adolescence:

Maintaining health in youth depends on awareness, knowledge, and responsible behavior. Girls should be educated about menstrual hygiene and iron deficiency, especially in cases of heavy bleeding during periods.

Reproductive Years:

Many young women today focus on careers or business ventures, often delaying marriage and childbirth beyond the age of 30. In such cases, women may face challenges conceiving naturally. Freezing eggs at a younger age and availing fertility-covering health insurance can help reduce stress, allowing women to focus on their careers while planning for parenthood at the desired time.

Your health, your strength, your future! Let this Women’s Day be a celebration of prioritizing your own health and well-being.
