Damsel🙇‍♀ In Distress

Adolescence- the teen world is of utmost importance, especially for our female fraternity. From here on, they embark upon a riveting journey of Estrogen and Progesterone leading to a lot of physical and mental changes. The new world is full of adventure, gushing hormones, challenges and issues. One of the physiological change - worth to be mentioned is Vaginal Discharge or Secretion.

Being a gynaecologist👩‍⚕, a common complaint that I come across in this age group is of Vaginal discharge- this distressing 😓slimy, drippy and wet feeling commonly termed as Leucorrohea. As, I have mentioned before that vaginal discharge is physiological. Then why it is considered troublesome??

Now, it's time to decode the basics. What ❓ is Physiological discharge ❓

- A little amount of vaginal secretion is natural, should be sufficient enough to lubricate the vaginal surface

-natural secretion vary according to the menstrual cycle: in first half it is thin & watery, in second half it is thick and profuse

-it should be free from odour, pain, itching, irritation and not to be accompanied by backache

What ❓ is Pathological ❓

-copious in amount, with odour, pain, backache, greenish yellow in colour, along with itching perineum, burning 🔥urination and backache

If suffering from any of these immediately consult a gynaecologist. In this era of science and technology marvels - where womenfolk is setting milestones in every sector, still a vast proportion of the fraternity feels embarrassed, takes a lot of courage to voice their issue regarding INTIMATE HYGIENE. So, here at my desk I am putting a small effort to help you out in distress times.

-First of all learn to differentiate between physiological and pathological discharge.

-Vaginal pH is very delicate. So don't apply any soap or dettol in that area: water 💧💦 is enough for the purpose, if required go for an intimate wash after proper consultation.

OPT A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

-Take bath daily, keep your undergarments clean : use airy and comfortable undergarments.

-Eat balanced diet

: Include coriander☘, bananas 🍌and vitamin B&C rich food items🍊🍋🍓🍒🥭

: Drink plenty of water🥛

: Avoid spicy and oily meals🌮🍕🥪🍔

I hope this post will be helpful.

So, don't hide yourself - liberate your 👉👤 true self- grab the opportunities and make your mark🚩.

HEALTHY WOMANHOOD

The right to health is something to which every individual is entitled. We are living in an advanced age of information and technology still there is a major stretch of 🚺 womenfolk in our nation who are not ❌ enjoying this Right to Health. At, the outset there are numerous reasons for this- sometimes they are being ignorant, at times they will embarrassed to voice their issues. Eventually they are still facing the wrath of social👥taboos and stigma.

As an obstetrician I always try to infuse the idea of healthy life in my every follow up right from the inception of their pregnancy. I 🙋belive it's a vicious cycle- a healthy embryo 👉healthy baby👉healthy toddler 👉healthy adolescent👉healthy woman 👩👉who can bear healthy progenies.

Let's promote female health, healthy womanhood

Let's strengthen backbone of our nation.
