Doctors from Nagpur and Vidarbha region shared important updates about women’s health on International Women’s Day, focusing on cancer and gynaecological disorders. Despite medical advancements, many women in the area are facing health issues like breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, fibroids, and endometriosis, mainly due to late presentation to doctors.
In Vidarbha, a rise in cancer cases among women is evident, with breast cancer being the most common followed by cervical cancer. However, endometrial and ovarian cancers are emerging as serious health threats, affecting younger women due to modern lifestyle risks. Gynaecological disorders such as fibroids, benign tumours, and endometriosis are also on the rise, posing risks to women’s health and life.
Doctors emphasize the importance of routine screenings and proactive medical care to detect and treat these conditions early. They recommend annual checkups starting as early as age 18, including breast examinations, pap smears, ultrasounds, and blood tests. Preventive measures such as regular health checkups, breast self-examinations, HPV vaccination, a balanced diet, and an active lifestyle can significantly reduce cancer risks.
Health experts stress the need for women to prioritize their health, avoid tobacco and alcohol, and minimize exposure to environmental toxins. Neglecting routine screenings and healthcare due to socio-economic factors or misinformation can lead to late-stage diagnoses, emphasizing the importance of early detection and timely treatment in combating women’s health issues.
