Postpartum anxiety and depression are more common than you think.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or emotionally exhausted after childbirth — it’s okay. You’re not weak, and you’re not alone.

Your family and friends are your strongest support system. Talk to them. Share how you feel.
Most importantly, speak to your gynecologist — help is available, and early support makes a big difference.

Motherhood is a journey, not a test.
If symptoms persist or interfere with daily life, please consult a doctor without delay.

Vaginal infections are not limited to sexually active women.
They can occur due to multiple reasons such as hormonal changes, poor hygiene, diabetes, low immunity, stress, or prolonged use of antibiotics.

There are also different types of vaginal infections—including fungal, bacterial, and other infections—and each requires specific treatment.

Do not ignore these warning signs:
▪️ Itching or burning sensation
▪️ Abnormal or foul-smelling discharge
▪️ Pain or discomfort
▪️ Burning while passing urine

Early consultation helps prevent complications.
If you notice any symptoms, consult your gynecologist without delay.

PCOS is common—but how do you know if you have it?

Irregular or missed periods, unexplained weight gain, facial hair growth, persistent pimples, difficulty in conceiving, mood swings, constant tiredness—these are not “normal.” They are often early signs of hormonal imbalance and PCOS.

Early diagnosis and the right guidance can help manage symptoms, restore hormonal balance, and protect your long-term health. Don’t ignore the signals your body is giving you.

Consult a gynecologist today.
