Understanding the Silent Threat   "Cancer remains a dreaded term, but one strategy can significantly reduce the fear factor – regular testing."  Subtle Symptoms, Hidden Dangers Cervical cancer, often a silent threat to women's health, has the power to hide behind subtle symptoms. Understanding this adversary and unmasking it promptly when it strikes is crucial. Symptoms like intermenstrual bleeding, postcoital bleeding, or postmenopausal bleeding, along with vaginal discharge, dyspareunia, or pelvic pain, can be indicators. However, as the growth is not visible to the patient, unveiling this silent adversary demands a nuanced approach, with testing emerging as a beacon of hope. The Global Impact Cervical cancer stands as the fourth most common cancer worldwide, with women aged 15 to 44 years being the most susceptible group. The undeniable link between Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer underscores the importance of understanding this connection in p...

 Cervical cancer, a formidable health challenge, continues to be a leading malignancy in developing countries, including India. In the United States, it ranks as the third most common gynecological neoplasm, following uterine and ovarian cancers. However, in developing nations where healthcare resources are limited, cervical cancer stands as the second most common cause of cancer deaths in women. In this blog, we will explore the risk factors associated with cervical cancer and delve into effective prevention strategies, considering the significant impact it has on women's health worldwide.

 Post-marriage depression is sometimes ignored in favour of an "adjustment phase." This absolves the problem of significance and proper consideration. Depression after marriage does exist. It goes beyond the post-wedding blues and mood fluctuations that a married lady experiences.  Persistent violence can make a woman feel alone, resentful of social interactions with her family and the wider world, and permanently anxious and panicked. Because it is typically referred to as an "adjustment phase," and since the woman is almost always the one doing the "adjusting," this violence never ends. When the woman decides to remain silent in the face of violence, the situation becomes even worse. The idea that a daughter-in-law is a "bearer of a family's pride" and "as calm and decent as a cow" makes violence 'normal' and then either kept a secret between the couple or among the family.
