Understanding General Women’s Health
Women’s health encompasses a broad range of medical concerns, from adolescence to menopause and beyond. It includes reproductive health, hormonal balance, menstrual wellness, and preventive care to maintain overall well-being. Regular gynecological check-ups are essential for early detection of conditions like PCOS, fibroids, infections, and hormonal imbalances. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy emphasizes the importance of proactive health management to prevent complications and ensure long-term wellness.
Common Women’s Health Concerns
Many women experience health issues such as irregular periods, pelvic pain, infections, or menopause-related changes. Conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts can impact daily life and fertility. Lifestyle factors, stress, and underlying medical conditions often contribute to these concerns. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy provides personalized treatment plans, including medical management, minimally invasive procedures, and lifestyle modifications to help women lead healthier, symptom-free lives.
Preventive Care and Wellness
Preventive healthcare is key to maintaining optimal well-being. Regular screenings, such as Pap smears, breast examinations, and ultrasound scans, help in the early diagnosis of potential concerns. Nutritional guidance, fitness, and stress management also play a vital role in overall health. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy advocates for routine check-ups, vaccinations, and a balanced lifestyle to support long-term reproductive and general health.
It is recommended that women visit a gynecologist at least once a year for a routine check-up. Annual exams help monitor reproductive health, detect early signs of conditions like cervical or breast cancer, and address any menstrual or hormonal concerns.
Pap smears and HPV screenings should begin at age 21 and continue every 3 years if results are normal. Women aged 30-65 can opt for a Pap smear every 3 years, an HPV test every 5 years, or both together every 5 years. These screenings are essential for early cervical cancer detection.
Performing monthly self-breast exams can help detect any unusual lumps or changes early. Women over 40 should also schedule regular mammograms as advised by their doctor. If you notice any abnormalities such as lumps, skin changes, or nipple discharge, consult a healthcare provider immediately.
