Ang pag-iwas sa cancer ay hindi lang tsamba—ito ay dahil sa tamang sistema! 🛡️ Ayon sa World Health Organization (WHO), halos 40% ng mga kaso ng cancer ay pwedeng maiwasan kung gagawin natin ang mga ito:

🚭 Iwas sa To***co – Ang paninigarilyo ang #1 na sanhi.

🦠 Iwas Impeksyon – Magpabakuna laban sa HPV at Hepatitis B.

🥗 Healthy Diet – Kumain ng masustansyang pagkain at prutas.

🌬️ Malinis na Hangin – Bawasan ang exposure sa polusyon.

Alam mo ba?
Sa lahat ng napipigilang cancer, halos kalahati ay nagmumula sa tatlong uri lang: lung, stomach, at cervical cancer.

Kaya natin 'to! Ang simpleng pagbabago sa lifestyle ay malaking tulong para sa ating kalusugan. ❤️

prevention isn’t about chance—it’s about systems. Cancer risks drop when you regulate to***co, prevent infections, breathe clean air, eat healthy and nutritious food, and choose vaccines.

Did you know? Nearly 40% of cancers are preventable. Of that 40%, there are three cancers that account for nearly half of all preventable cancers.

Ano ba ang Endometriosis?

Ito ay isang kondisyon kung saan ang tissue na dapat ay nasa loob lang ng matris ay tumutubo sa labas nito. Dahil dito, nagkakaroon ng pamamaga at matinding pananakit sa katawan.

Minsan, nagiging sanhi rin ito ng hirap sa pagbubuntis (infertility). Kung nararanasan mo ang mga ito, huwag mag-atubiling magpakonsulta sa iyong OB-Gyne para mabigyan ka ng tamang gabay at alaga.

Ano-ano ang mga senyales na dapat bantayan:
🚺 Sobrang sakit na regla – mas matindi pa sa ordinaryong dysmenorrhea.
🚺 Matagalang pananakit ng puson – o yung tinatawag na chronic pelvic pain.
🚺 Sakit habang o pagkatapos makipagtalik.
🚺 Bloating o parang laging puno ang tiyan, kasama na ang pagduduwal.
🚺 Mahapdi o masakit na pag-ihi.
🚺 Depresyon o labis na kalungkutan dahil sa hirap na dala ng sakit.

Endometriosis is a disease where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and/or infertility.

Symptoms include:
🚺painful periods
🚺chronic pelvic pain
🚺pain during/after s*x
🚺abdominal bloating, nausea
🚺painful urination
🚺depression
