Endometriosis
Endometriosis Though it is a benign condition, it can behave like a cancer! It spreads its tentacles from the ovaries to the pelvis and can go further to invade the bowel, the bladder, the uterus, scars in the abdomen wall and sometimes travels even beyond the pelvis and the abdomen into the chest!

Sexually Transmitted Infections – how much can they harm you?
Sexually Transmitted Infections – how much can they harm you? But how many women realize the kind of risks they are exposing themselves to when they live such a life? Many women find it difficult to ask their partners to use condoms, fearing that their partners, whom they think they are in love with, may get offended at such a suggestion. There are others who proceed with unprotected sex, because they would not like to displease their partners as many men find condoms sexually unsatisfying.

Being born as a woman in India- a disability which can be conquered
Being born as a woman in India- a disability which can be conquered The United Nations regards gender equality as a human right, yet for a country making strides as an emerging economic power, gender inequality remains an area where it compares poorly with the rest of the world. India is placed 129th among 146 countries in terms of gender inequality index (GII), far behind neighbouring Sri Lanka at 74 and lagging behind most other countries in the region. The GII is calculated using indicators from three broad dimensions – health, empowerment and the labour market. The health indicators used are Maternal Mortality Ratio and Adolescent (age 15 to 19) Fertility Rate. [1] The indicators for empowerment are Secondary Education and Representation in Parliament. From the labour, the proportion of the female population employed is the indicator for the Labour Market.[1]

Painful Periods Contd.
Painful Periods Contd. But as a gynecologist, I see a disability which only women face, a disability, which strikes on a monthly basis! Some women experience so much pain during their menstrual periods that they dread its approach month after month! It’s a disability, due to which they cannot attend to their daily chores at home, nor can they go to work if they are career women, they only keep popping tablets and lay in bed for about 3-4 days every single month! Some of them also have associated nausea vomiting and even faint, they are truly miserable!

Man boobs
What are man boobs? Man boobs, or gynecomastia, are when the breast tissue in males grows. It happens when hormones, especially testosterone and estrogen, are not balanced. Some medicines, drugs (including alcohol, marijuana, amphetamines, and heroin), anabolic steroids (taken to build muscle and improve strength), and other medicines also can cause gynecomastia. Rarely, gynecomastia can be a sign of other medical conditions.
