*HPV VACCINATION *
Cervical cancer is one of the most common and potentially deadly cancers in women, but it is also highly preventable. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a powerful tool in this prevention.
Cervical cancer is mostly associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), an infection that can be transmitted sexually via va**nal or oral or a**l exposure and also through the skin to skin contact.

*TYPES OF HPV VACCINE
In India, three vaccines are commonly used: Gardasil, Cervarix and Gardasil9. They protect against the most high risk strains of the HPV virus and are most effective in its prevention.

* Recommended Age Group: HPV vaccination is typically recommended for girls between the ages of 9 and 14. This age range is chosen because the vaccine is most effective when administered before exposure to the virus through sexual activity.
It can also be administered between 14 -45 years with limited benefits.

* RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF DOSES:
Between 9-14 years- 2 doses are needed (0 and 6 months later)
After 14 years - 3 doses are needed (0, 1, 6 months).

* COST OF HPV VACCINE
One injection roughly costs around Rs. 3500-5000 depending on the type of vaccine you choose.

What is SEPTATE UTERUS/ UTERINE SEPTUM?
The uterus is a singular cavity that holds the developing embryo while your body nourishes it.

In a septate uterus, however, a membrane of muscular tissue runs along the centre of the uterus, right up to the cervix. This membrane (the septum) divides the uterine cavity into two portions, which may or may not be equal.

Sometimes, the septum may extend beyond the cervix and into the va**nal ca**l.

How does septate uterus impact a women?
In most cases, a uterine septum may be completely asymptomatic and you may not even be aware of having one.
However, a few women may face the following:
1) Miscarriage: Women with a septate uterus have a high risk of miscarriage, mainly during the first trimester. This happens primarily because the embryo attaches to the septum wherein the blood supply is limited for its growth.

2) Premature Birth: The risk of preterm labour and premature birth increases because of reduced uterine capacity or irregular muscle contractions

3)Suboptimal implantation: The septate uterus makes the site less viable for implantation and thus may be a cause for infertility.

4) Painful menstruation: The septate uterus is a deformity, and the shedding of the lining each month would be more painful than normal.

How is septate uterus diagnosed?
1) A 3D ULTRASOUND may show the presence of a septum
2) HSG or hysterosapphingography
3) HYSTEROSCOPY

How is a uterine septum treated?
HYSTEROSCOPIC SEPTAL RESECTION is performed to remove the uterine septum. This procedure has an excellent success rate when done by an experienced surgeon.. For more info visit us at http://www.dranjuriroy.com/latest-update/what-is-septate-uter/76?utm_source=facebookpage

What is PCOS/ Polycystic ovarian syndrome?
PCOS is one of the common endocrine disorders affecting the ovaries and hormonal balance in females. It is determined by an excessive androgens formation (male hormones) and an imbalance in female reproductive hormones which include estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal imbalance causes disruption in the regular ovulation process, resulting in the small cysts production on the ovaries.

What are the symptoms of PCOS?
PCOS symptoms might vary from woman to woman, however, there are some common symptoms which are usually experienced by females. Here are these common symptoms:

1) Irregular Menstrual Cycle: Females with PCOS usually experience irregular menstruation cycles which might range from prolonged periods to eight periods yearly.
2) Excessive Hair Growth: Increased androgens formation causes hirsutism leading to hair development in the neck, face, chest, or abdomen.
3) Acne and Oily Skin: Hormonal imbalances lead to enhanced production of sebum causing oily and acne prone skin.
4) Weight Gain: Insulin resistance and hormonal fluctuations causes difficulty when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight, and causes weight gain.
5) Infertility: PCOS is among the primary infertility causes in women because of irregular or absent ovulation.

How is PCOS diagnosed?
PCOS diagnosis inculcates evaluation of medical history, physical assessment, and laboratory tests. The diagnostic procedure commonly performed by healthcare professionals includes the presence of two out of three features which are irregular periods, clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism signs, and polycystic ovaries identified through ultrasound imaging.

What are the treatment options for PCOS?
The main emphasis of PCOS treatment and management involves alleviating symptoms, regulating menstrual cycles, managing weight, and assessing fertility issues. There are certain treatment options which includes:

1) Medications: It involves drugs like hormonal contraceptives, anti-androgen medications, and insulin-sensitizing are often recommended for hormone regulation, reducing androgen levels, and improving insulin sensitivity.
2) Fertility Treatments: There are several assisted reproductive technologies (ART) if fertility is an issue. The treatment options include ovulation induction medications, IVF, IUI, ICSI, etc.
3) Surgical Interventions: In certain cases, ovarian wedge resection or drilling is performed for stimulating ovulation.
4) Lifestyle Management Strategies: Additionally, lifestyle changes are usually recommended as a treatment option other than medical interventions. It involves adopting certain lifestyle strategies that can relevantly enhance PCOS symptoms and overall well-being. It includes healthy eating, regular exercise, stress management, sleep hygiene, etc..

What are ovarian cysts?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops either on or inside the ovaries. If the cyst of the o***y is filled with fluid, it is called a simple ovarian cyst, which is more common at any age, whereas a cyst is filled with blood or solid material, it is referred to as a complex ovarian cyst, which is less common and more likely to become cancerous.

What are the types of ovarian cysts?
1. Functional ovarian cysts: These are the most common type. They are harmless (benign) and short-lived cysts that often develop as part of the menstrual cycle and indicate a sign of healthy ovarian function. Generally, these cysts shrink over time, usually within two months (60 days), without any specific treatment.

There are two subtypes of functional cysts:
>Follicular cysts: As a part of a woman's menstrual cycle, the follicle releases an egg every month for fertilization(ovulation). Follicular cysts happen when a follicle fails to release an egg. Instead, it fills with fluid and continues to grow bigger.
>Corpus luteum cysts: After ovulation, a follicle transforms into the corpus luteum (temporary endocrine structure). In some cases, fluid collects in the corpus luteum and may develop as cysts.

In some cases, both follicular and corpus luteal cysts can potentially turn into hemorrhagic cysts, which may occur due to ovulation rather than any medical condition. Other haemorrhagic ovarian cyst causes include follicle rupture, injury to o***y, some fertility drugs or anticoagulant medications. Haemorrhagic ovarian cyst treatment includes bed rest, pain medication and surgery (if the cyst is large and causing severe symptoms.

2. Pathological cysts: These cysts are rare and can develop due to various medical conditions. Examples include:

>Dermoid cysts: The dermoid cyst types are sac-like growths, that develops on the ovaries, contain the cells that can form various tissue types in the human body, including skin, teeth, hair and even brain tissue. Ovarian dermoid cyst symptoms are not noticeable until the cysts become large. Dermoid cyst causes include infections, gene mutations, developmental abnormalities

>Endometriomas or chocolate cysts: These are cysts filled with endometrial tissue, the same tissue that a woman bleeds (shed) each month during menstruation. Chocolate cyst symptoms include painful and crampy periods, pelvic pain not related to menstruation, infertility for some woman.

>Cystadenomas: They develop on the surface of the o***y and are filled with thin and watery or thicker and mucous-like fluid.
*Serous cystadenomas: It contains one or more cysts on the surface of the o***y. These are typically filled with a clear, thin, and watery fluid.
*Mucinous cystadenomas: These are composed of multiple glands and cysts that are filled with a thick, mucous-like fluid.

>Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS): It is a hormonal disorder that affects women and leads to the development of multiple small cysts on the ovaries and causing the ovaries to enlarge.

>Ovarian cancer cysts: Unlike the conditions mentioned above, ovarian cancer cysts (tumours) are not fluid-filled sacs. Instead, they are solid masses made up of cancer cells.

What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts?
1) Pelvic pain
2) Bloating
3) increased urinary frequency
4) Conatipation or pain during defecation
5) pain during in*******se
6) nausea Vomitting
7) distension of abdomen
😎 difficulty getting pregnant

What are Fibroids/ Leiomyomas ?
Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on the uterus.

Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In most cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all.

The growths are typically benign, or noncancerous.
The cause of fibroids is unknown.

There are various types of fibroids. The types differ depending on their location in or on the uterus.

What are the types of FIBROIDS?
1) Intramural fibroids: Intramural fibroids are the most common type. They appear within the muscular wall of the uterus. Intramural fibroids may grow larger and can stretch your uterus.
2) Subserosal fibroids: Subserosal fibroids form on the outside of your uterus, which is called the serosa. They may grow large enough to make your uterus appear bigger on one side. In most cases, they don’t harm you and don’t need remove unless they grow very large.
3) Pedunculated fibroids: Subserosal fibroids can develop a stem, a slender base that supports the tumor. When they do, they’re known as pedunculated fibroids.
4) Submucosal fibroids: These types of tumors develop in the middle layer of the uterus but they protrude into the uterine cavity causing heavy bleeding in periods, abdominal cramping pain, infertility etc necessitating removal.
5) Cervical fibroids: Cervical fibroids develop on the cervix, which connects the uterus to the va**na. They’re also rare.

What are the symptoms of fibroids?
•heavy bleeding between or during your periods with passage of clots
•menstruation that lasts longer than usual
•increased menstrual cramping
•pain in the pelvis or lower back
•pressure or fullness in your lower abdomen
•swelling or enlargement of the abdomen
•increased urination

What is a COPPER T/ IUCD?
It is a T shaped device made of copper which is placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
It offers excellent protection against unplanned pregnancy and helps to delay childbirth
Advantages:
1) It is a safe and effective method of contraception.
2) It is a hormone free option and convenient for those who dislike daily birth control pills or are too forgetful to remember to consume pills daily.
3) Once inserted, it provides contraception for 3 years to 10 years depending upon the variety.
4) It is a low maintenance contraceptive. You can yourself check the copper T threads at home to ensure that the copper T is still within.
5) It doesn’t interfere with sexual spontaneity.
6) It provides a quick return to fertility once removed.

Disadvantages:
1) The first few periods after insertion may be associated with pain and heavy bleeding but this can be managed by simple medications.
2) It does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.

Understanding HYPERTENSION IN PREGNANCY-
Hypertension during pregnancy is a serious concern that can impact both the mother and the baby’s health.
It is defined as the rise of blood pressure more than 140/90 mm of Hg, measured on two separate occasions at an interval of atleast 24 hours.
It is classified into 4 different types :
1) Chronic Hypertension: This is when a woman has high blood pressure during pregnancy before becoming pregnant or before reaching 20 weeks of gestation.
2) Gestational Hypertension:
When hypertension occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy and resolves after delivery
3) Preeclampsia: It is a more serious form of hypertension which is associated with proteinuria (excretion of proteins in urine) along with hypertension. Since proteins are lost from the body, it causes water retention in your tissues leading to swelling over the body, especially the feet.
4) Eclampsia: The most severe form of hypertension with is associated with presence of convulsions/ fits.

What are the symptoms of hypertension in pregnancy?
1) Swelling: Especially in the feet, hands and face.
2) Frequent and severe headaches
3) Visual Disturbances: Blurred vision or flashing lights.
4) Abdominal Pain: Especially in the upper right side.
5) Nausea and Vomiting: Beyond morning sickness.
6) Decreased Urine Output: Less frequent urination.

Hypertension disorders during pregnancy can be managed effectively with the right medical care and lifestyle adjustments. Proper antenatal care is essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment.

Urinary incontinence is defined as the loss of bladder control, presenting usually as leaking of urine when you cough or sneeze or an urge to urinate that is so strong that the patient doesn’t get to the toilet in time.
It is more common in females, especially during pregnancy, after childbirth or after menopause.

Following are some of the solutions to take urinary incontinence:
1) LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS
(i) Reduce the consumption of caffeine found in cola, tea, or coffee
(ii) Plenty of fluids during daytime. However limit the amount of fluids consumed after sunset.
(iii) Weight loss if obese

2) BLADDER TRAINING
In the case of urge incontinence, you will be suggested bladder training. It will help you to learn several techniques that will eventually help to lengthen the time between feeling the urge to urinate and passing the urine. This will go on for six weeks.

3) PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE EXERCISES/ KEGEL’S EXERCIZES
It may be easier to begin practicing these exercises while lying down.
Squeeze the muscles in your ge***al area as if you were trying to stop the flow of urine or trying to stop from passing gas. Try not to squeeze the muscles in your belly or legs at the same time.
Relax. Squeeze the muscles again and hold for 3 seconds. Then relax for 3 seconds. Do these 8 more times. Work up to 5 sets of 10.
When your muscles get stronger, do your exercises sitting or standing. You can do these exercises any time, while sitting at your desk, in the car, waiting in line, doing the dishes, etc.
Be patient. It may take 3 to 6 weeks before you see results.

4) MEDICATIONS
Visit your doctor if symptoms persist in spite of all the above measures. You may need medications to improve bladder capacity.

5) SLING SURGERY
Sling surgery helps to tackle the issue of incontinence.
Success rate depends if patient’s age, parity, type of incontinence and other factors.

What is Urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence — the loss of bladder control — is a common and often embarrassing problem. The severity ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you cough or sneeze to having an urge to urinate that's so sudden and strong you don't get to a toilet in time.
It is more common in females as compared to males, especially during pregnancy, after childbirth and after menopause.

Following are the types of incontinence:
1) STRESS INCONTINENCE:
If normal physical movements like sneezing, coughing and exercising cause small amounts of urine to leak out, it is called 'stress incontinence'.

2) URGE INCONTINENCE: If large amounts of urine leak out during unexpected and at odd times, like during sleeping, it is called 'urge incontinence'.

3) OVERFLOW INCONTINENCE: A full bladder, at times, leads to unexpected leakage. This is called 'overflow incontinence'.

4) MIXED INCONTINENCE:
Whenever urge and stress incontinence occur together, it is categorized as 'mixed incontinence'.

WHAT CAUSES INCONTINENCE IN FEMALES?
Urinary incontinence is not a disease; it is a symptom. The common causes are:
1) Urinary tract infection
2) Over consumption of alcohol
3) Constipation
4) excessive intake of caffeine and carbonated drinks
5) DIABETES
6) Use of artificial sweeteners
7) PREGNANCY
During pregnancy, hormonal changes and weight gain in the body can cause incontinence.
8) CHILDBIRTH
Normal va**nal delivery weakens muscles that control the bladder, thus leading to incontinence.
9) AGING AND MENOPAUSE: The levels of "oestrogen" hormone drop with the onset of menopause. Oestrogen keeps the lining of the urethra and bladder healthy. The gradual damage of the bladder tissues leads to incontinence.
10) HYSTERECTOMY
The bladder and uterus are supported by the same ligaments and muscles. Surgery deteriorates the pelvic floor muscles, thus removing the uterus can lead to incontinence.
11) Being on sedatives, muscle relaxants, blood pressure and heart medications

However, with a proper diagnosis and some changes in lifestyle and diet, incontinence can be managed. Seek help today and reach out to Dr. Anjuri Roy, one of the best female gynaecologist in Nashik!.
