a leading healthcare institution, celebrated Maternal Health Awareness Day with a compelling and informative discussion centered around “Empowering Maternal Awareness.” The session featured valuable insights from two distinguished gynecologists, Dr. Ayan Mukhopadhyay, Senior Consultant & Head of Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Gynae-Oncology at Desun Hospital, Kolkata, and Dr. Aparupa Ghosh, Consultant Obstetrics & Gynaecology.
Dr. Aparupa Ghosh began the discussion by highlighting the increasing awareness among women, contributing to a better understanding of various health issues. She shed light on the prevalence of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and cysts among young girls, linking these trends to lifestyle changes. Additionally, Dr. Ghosh delved into the rising incidence of diseases like fibroid uterus, breast cancer, and cervix cancer. She emphasized the critical role of early detection through heightened awareness, noting that many women often present in later stages of these conditions. Early diagnosis, she stressed, can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
The discussion extended to maternal health during pregnancy, where Dr. Ghosh highlighted potential complications such as structural fetal problems, lung diseases, and depression. Stressing the importance of proactive medical attention during pregnancy, she underlined that ensuring the well-being of both mother and child requires vigilant monitoring.
Dr. Ayan Mukhopadhyay echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups during pregnancy. While acknowledging that pregnancy is not a disease, he highlighted the need for vigilant medical monitoring to identify potential complications. Dr. Mukhopadhyay emphasized that the majority of women can deliver safely, but a proportion may face complications, making early diagnosis crucial for effective treatment. He noted that the primary objective is to diagnose any potential issues at an early stage to enhance the chances of successful intervention and cure.
