According to a 2021 study published in the journal Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, the prevalence of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) in Indian women was 16.3%.

PCOS is a complex hormonal condition that affects many women of reproductive age group and is one of the leading causes of poor fertility. While it’s true that medication can play a role in managing PCOS symptoms, it’s equally important to recognize the pivotal role that lifestyle choices can have in its management. Early symptoms of PCOS may include reduced blood flow during menstruation, delayed menstrual cycles, acne or pimples, sudden weight fluctuations, and mood swings.

Here is how Riddhi Patel, an expert nutritionist is helping such women to take charge of their health through her unique approach by helping them improve their lifestyle and providing practical steps to address it effectively. 

Riddhi says “Your lifestyle choices can either worsen or relive your PCOS symptoms. Unhealthy habits, such as a diet high in processed & sugary foods and leading a sedentary life, can escalate inflammation within the body, trigger insulin resistance, and lead to increased androgen production. Androgens are male hormones that are present in women as well, but elevated levels can cause issues like irregular menstrual cycles, acne outbreaks, hair loss, and unwanted hair growth. Therefore, it’s crucial to target the root causes through proper lifestyle modifications.”

Having helped hundreds of women across 7 countries overcome their PCOS, here is what Riddhi recommends for dealing with PCOS:

1. Regulate Your Sleep Pattern: A good night’s sleep is essential for overall health and hormonal balance. Ensure you get 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night. A consistent sleep routine can help regulate your body’s internal clock and improve your overall well-being.
2. Incorporate Physical Activity: Dedicate 30-45 minutes of structured exercise, such as walking, jogging, cycling, or yoga, at any time during the day. In addition to your structured exercise routine, aim to stay active throughout the day by taking short breaks to stretch and move around, especially if you have a sedentary job. Exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity, regulate menstrual cycles, and manage weight.
3. Opt for a Balanced Diet: Steer clear of highly processed foods and excessive sugar consumption, as they can contribute to inflammation and insulin resistance. Instead, focus on a balanced diet rich in fibre and protein to nourish your body. Incorporate whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats into your meals. A balanced diet can help stabilize blood sugar levels and support hormone regulation.
4. Prioritize Mental Well-Being: High-stress levels can worsen hormonal imbalances and exacerbate symptoms. Recognize the importance of mental well-being and consider introducing meditation or mindfulness practices into your daily routine. These techniques can help reduce stress, improve emotional stability, and enhance your ability to cope with the challenges of PCOS.

By making these lifestyle adjustments, one can work towards effectively managing PCOS. It’s essential to remember that PCOS is a complex condition, and while lifestyle changes can significantly improve symptoms, they may not entirely cure the disorder.

The rising cases of PCOS signifies the importance of consulting an expert who can help you with the right approach to take control of your PCOS and lead a healthier, happier life.

New Delhi (India), November 8: As diabetes continues to plague populations across the globe, medical professionals and health institutions tirelessly work to find effective treatments. Enter the groundbreaking diabetes reversal program, an initiative that offers not just management, but the possibility of reversing the debilitating effects of this disease. A deep dive into this program reveals an encouraging picture for those battling diabetes.

Striking success rates

A recent report released by the diabetes reversal program showcased some striking figures. An overwhelming 91% of participants witnessed a reduction in their sugar levels. Additionally, 92% claimed to have reduced or completely eliminated their medication. For those dependent on insulin, a heartening 89% reported a reduction or complete elimination of their insulin dosage.

These figures are further corroborated by a notable average HbA1c drop of 1.8. It’s not just about the numbers, though. These statistics translate to improved quality of life, fewer medications, and more control over one’s health.

Beyond traditional treatment

What distinguishes the diabetes reversal program from other treatments? Here are some key features:

1. No fad diets: The program emphasises that Type 2 Diabetes reversal doesn’t hinge on stringent diets or starvation. Instead, it’s about understanding nutrition and making informed choices about what, when, and how much to eat.

2. Personalised approach: Recognizing that every individual is unique, the program offers a tailor-made plan for each participant. No two treatments are the same, ensuring a personalised and effective approach.

3. Designated health coaches: Participants aren’t left to navigate the complex waters of diabetes management alone. Each individual is assigned a dedicated health expert responsible for crafting a plan suited to their specific needs, ensuring optimal support and guidance.

4. Regular progress review: With the integration of technology, participants have access to a dedicated mobile application. This allows them to monitor their progress, ensuring they remain on the path to improved health.

5. Emphasis on mental health: Recognizing the intrinsic link between mental well-being and physical health, the program prioritises mental health. It actively addresses and seeks to reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with chronic ailments like diabetes.

Implications and the road ahead

The promise of the diabetes reversal program lies not just in its impressive statistics but also in its holistic approach. The integration of nutrition, personalised care, technological monitoring, and mental health support offers a comprehensive strategy, challenging the traditionally held notion that diabetes, once diagnosed, is a life-long ailment.

However, like all medical treatments, it’s essential to approach these figures with a measured perspective. While the program offers hope and has showcased significant success, individual results may vary. Prospective participants should consult with their healthcare professionals to determine if this program aligns with their specific needs.

In a nutshell, the diabetes reversal program presents a beacon of hope in the fight against diabetes. As medical science continues to advance, such initiatives pave the way for more effective, holistic, and patient-centric care. The future of diabetes management and treatment is on the horizon, and it looks promising.

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 6: Dr. AK Dwivedi, Member of the Scientific Advisory Board, Central Council for research in Homeopathy, Ministry of Ayush, Government of India, shared valuable insights on the control of aplastic anemia through homeopathic treatments at the 16th International Homoeopathic Conference organized by Hahnemann College of Homoeopathy, United Kingdom.

During his address at the conference, Dr. Dwivedi highlighted the significance of traditional Indian cuisine in preventing aplastic anemia. He emphasized that specific Indian recipes such as “gond ke laddu,” “meve ke laddu,” and “khas-khas ka halwa” have proven to be highly beneficial in managing conditions like aplastic anemia. These recipes, which are commonly consumed in regions like Indore and other parts of northern and central India, are rich in essential nutrients like magnesium, copper, iron, vitamins, niacin, phosphorus, and proteins. Their consumption not only boosts blood production but also enhances the body’s immune response, reducing vulnerability to diseases.

Dr. Dwivedi also pointed out that ingredients like sesame and jaggery (til-gur) are extensively used in Indian cuisine. These ingredients are known to increase blood levels, making them effective in combating aplastic anemia. While these delicacies are particularly popular during cold weather in India, they can be consumed throughout the year in places like London, where the climate allows for their usage over 8 to 9 months annually.

The conference attendees were captivated by Dr. Dwivedi’s presentation, where he shared case studies of five patients who successfully recovered from aplastic anemia through his homeopathic treatments. These patients underwent treatment regimens that included gond ke laddu, meve ke laddu, and khas-khas ka halwa, all of which significantly contributed to their recovery. Dr. Dwivedi highlighted the nutritional value of these traditional Indian sweets, citing the presence of calcium, protein, magnesium, iron, and other vital nutrients that strengthen bones and increase blood levels. Additionally, he discussed the benefits of pinnee laddu, especially for pregnant and lactating women, as it helps in boosting hemoglobin levels and overall health.

Following his presentation, Dr. Dwivedi conducted free check-ups for patients suffering from anemia and bleeding disorders, offering them necessary homeopathic medicines. His research and expertise were duly acknowledged at the conference, and he was honored with an international award.

In the past, Dr. Dwivedi has presented his research papers in many international & national  homeopathic conferences. Along with aplastic anemia, he is providing a lot of relief to the patients with homeopathic medicines on pancytopenia, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia and bone marrow diseases.Currently he is working as Director and CEO, Advanced Homeo Health Center Indore, he is also a member of the Executive Council of Devi Ahilya University Indore MP India

He appreciated their contribution and emphasized the global popularity of homeopathic treatments for healthcare. The program was efficiently managed by Dr. Padmapriya Nayar and Gayatri Nayar.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 3: Modern medicine is continually evolving, and the importance of staying at the forefront of groundbreaking techniques and treatments cannot be overstated. Millions of people around the world are grappling with various vascular and medical issues, from varicose veins and prostate enlargement to diabetic foot and uterine fibroids. According to recent studies, these conditions collectively affect a significant percentage of the global population.

Varicose Veins affect approximately 10% to 15% of men and 20% to 25% of women, causing discomfort, pain, and cosmetic concerns. A substantial number of patients struggle with Prostate Enlargement, a condition linked to ageing, impacting nearly 50% of men over the age of 50, according to the American Urological Association. 

The International Diabetes Federation suggests that Diabetic Foot complications, an alarming consequence of diabetes, are responsible for a significant number of lower limb amputations annually, posing a severe threat to the quality of life. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 20-80% of women will develop uterine fibroids by the age of 50.

While traditional treatment methods have been instrumental, the evolution of medical technology has opened the door to advanced solutions that offer quicker recovery, reduced pain, and improved patient outcomes.

Leading this transformative wave in India in the medical field is Dr. Bhavesh Popat, an experienced Vascular & Interventional Radiologist with over a decade of expertise and the founder of the Endovascular Clinic in Mumbai,

Quoting Dr. Bhavesh Popat, “Endovascular techniques and interventional surgery have revolutionized the treatment of vascular and medical conditions. These techniques offer immense advantages, such as minimally invasive procedures, faster recovery times, and reduced hospital stays. As a result, patients can regain their quality of life more swiftly.”

Dr. Bhavesh Popat is passionately dedicated to advancing medical technology and academic pursuits and believes in the power of innovation and is committed to bringing the latest endovascular techniques and interventional surgery to the forefront of medical care.

With his clinic, Dr. Popat and his team are dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions to patients suffering from issues, including varicose veins, prostate enlargement, diabetic foot issues, and uterine fibroids. The clinic’s mission is to offer comprehensive consultations and surgeries, all while ensuring the utmost care and patient satisfaction.

But why is it important for the general public to become acquainted with these techniques? Dr. Popat emphasises, “It is crucial for individuals to stay informed about the latest advancements in medical treatments. Patients should feel empowered to ask questions and explore the most suitable options for their health issues. This not only aids in better decision-making but also promotes a healthier society.”

Furthermore, Dr. Popat underscores the significance of continuous learning for medical professionals. “Medicine is an ever evolving field. To provide the best care to our patients, healthcare practitioners must continuously update their knowledge and skills. Endovascular techniques are invaluable tools in the modern medical arsenal, and their proficiency should be a priority for all medical professionals.”

To foster knowledge sharing and collaboration, Dr. Popat has established the Mumbai Vascular Foundation, an initiative dedicated to organising free events and seminars for medical professionals. These events provide a platform for doctors to delve into the latest trends in minimally invasive endovascular procedures, ensuring that patients receive the best care possible.

Dr. Karan Anandpara further highlights the importance of continuing education: “In a field as dynamic as medicine, staying up-to-date with the latest advancements is non-negotiable. Dr. Popat’s initiatives, such as the Mumbai Vascular Foundation, play a pivotal role in advancing our collective knowledge and skills.”

Best Health Expers advice on World Fertility Day

New Delhi (India), November 2: On World Fertility Day, embark on a journey of discovery as experts unveil the pivotal role that diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices play in the intricate tapestry of reproductive health. In this enlightening exploration, we navigate the nuances of balanced nutrition, mindful physical activity, and holistic living, all critical factors influencing the path to conception.

Here, the experts decode the impactful interplay of diet, exercise, and lifestyle on your fertility journey—a celebration of life’s potential and the empowerment found in informed choices.

Dr. Richa Jagtap, Co-Medical Director, ART Fertility Clinics, India
Dr. Richa Jagtap emphasizes that “Your fertility is not in your hands always, but your health is!

Some aspects of your fertility status reflect the choices you make in terms of diet, exercise, and lifestyle. ‘World Fertility Day’ stands as a guiding light to steer couples on the rightful lifestyle decisions that will in turn intricately mold their fertility journey.” She further added, “The day serves as a reminder that every phase of life, akin to the changing cycles of nature, wields the potential to influence one’s fertility expedition. It underscores the profound connection between well-being and the capacity to bring new life into the world. Let the couples take charge of their fertility, make the right decisions at the right time, and make sure they don’t miss the fertility window. Also, make sure they don’t obscure the fertility window with the wrong lifestyle choices!

Dr. Gauri Agarwal, MD, DNB, MBBS, Founder & Director – Seeds of Innocens, New Delhi

For over 40 years since the birth of the first IVF baby in India, practitioners continue to grapple with pervasive myths and misconceptions, prevalent not only in rural areas but also in urban and metro cities.

On World Infertility Day 2023, the organization aims to make the latest advancements in ART like Reproductive Genetics more accessible and affordable. The initiative seeks to stimulate open conversations about infertility, with a spotlight on overlooked aspects such as male infertility, impacting 7% of men and contributing to 50% of unexplained cases. Similarly, the campaign raises awareness about cryopreservation, especially freezing eggs for lifestyle or medical reasons. This not only preserves the right balance for a working woman but also gives a lease of hope to female patients undergoing life-saving treatment or procedures that may threaten their chances of becoming a parent in future. 

IVF is an emotional as well as a physical journey and our doctors and counsellors aim to provide emotional and mental support to the couple. But as an industry, we need to work together to debunk the misconceptions and taboos around IVF.

Dr. Deepika Asati, MBBS, DGO, Obstetrician, Gynaecologist and Infertility Specialist, Associated With, Adidev Clinic, Kandivali, Sevenstar Hospital Kandivali &Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai, Ph No +91-8356833864

If a couple is not able to get pregnant, despite having carefully timed unprotected sex for one year, they should consult an infertility specialist. One should not be hesitant to go to a doctor because in the initial stage, problems can be easily resolved. Alongside fertility treatments, adopting a healthy lifestyle is crucial. Exercise, including activities like swimming, yoga, or walking, not only reduces anxiety and depression but also improves overall well-being. Adequate sleep, about 8 hours a night, plays a vital role in regulating reproductive hormones. Dietary choices are equally important—opt for a high-protein, low-carb, fibre-rich diet with ample fruits, veggies, and nuts. Limit caffeine intake and avoid junk food.

Additionally, take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily, a crucial step in preventing birth defects. Remember, these lifestyle changes complement medical treatments and do not replace the guidance of a healthcare professional, such as a gynecologist. Taking a proactive approach to both lifestyle and medical interventions increases the likelihood of conception, emphasizing that the journey to parenthood is a shared and holistic endeavour.

Dr. Richa Saxena, MBBS, MD (Obstetrician Gynaecologist), RCOG Associate, Mentor & Director MRCOG (Diginerve), Founder – Let’s Talk Woman’s Health (E-clinic), New Delhi

On World Fertility Day, gynecologists are celebrating life’s miracle and emphasizing the profound link between the gift of fertility and our choices in diet, exercise, and lifestyle. These choices hold the key to a world of possibilities.

Exercise empowers us by balancing hormones and maintaining an ideal weight. Lifestyle decisions like smoking, alcohol, and stress management impact fertility. Nutrition is the foundation, providing essential nutrients for life’s creation. A balanced diet rich in body nutrients, minerals (like selenium and zinc), and antioxidants (such as vitamins C and E) is crucial for a healthy reproductive system in both men and women. Maintaining a healthy body weight (BMI) is equally important, as both underweight and overweight conditions can disrupt fertility. Obesity causes irregular cycles and hormonal imbalances while being underweight can disrupt ovulation.

Dr. Anshika Lekhi, Director – The Fertilife by Dr. Anshika Lekhi, Senior Gynaecologist & Infertility Specialist – Cloudnine Hospital Sec 56, Gurgaon

Navigating infertility is a tough journey, but it’s crucial to recognize that you’re not alone and that there’s hope for realizing your dream of parenthood. First, be kind to yourself and understand that infertility is a medical condition, not a personal failure. Seek support from your partner, friends, support groups, and doctors who understand your struggle. Together, you can navigate this difficult path and emerge stronger. Stay informed and consult with a fertility specialist who can provide guidance and options for fertility treatments. Advances in reproductive medicine have opened up a world of possibilities, including in vitro fertilization (IVF). Maintain a healthy lifestyle to optimize your chances of success. Eat well, exercise, and manage stress. Your emotional well-being is just as important as your physical health during this journey. 

Remember, countless individuals have overcome infertility, and your determination will be your greatest asset. Embrace the journey, and know that the love you have to offer a child is worth every challenge you face. Your future as a parent is a dream worth pursuing, and with hope and persistence, it can become a reality. It’s not the end until it’s beautiful.

Dr. Krushna Borkar, MBBS, M.S. OBGY FMAS ( Fellowship in Minimal Invasive Surgeries) Mumbai, Consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecologist, Laparoscopic Surgeon, Infertility Specialist, PCOS Reversal Expert Consultant, Director of DR BORKAR’S MOTHER CARE Maternity & Surgical Hospital, Ulwe, Navi Mumbai

Dr. Krushna Borkar’s dedication and expertise have positively impacted the lives of countless individuals and couples aspiring to start a family. He stands as a beacon of hope for those navigating the intricate journey of fertility. He has fostered an environment of compassion, care, and innovation. His commitment to holistic care extends to women dealing with PCOS, a condition that affects many women worldwide.

Dr. Borkar’s contributions stand as an inspiring testament to the transformative power of reproductive care. Let’s celebrate the tireless efforts of each gynecologist to bring the gift of new life to those in need and anticipate the continued positive impact they will have on countless lives in the years ahead.

Dr. Charmi Shah, MS (OBS GY), Laproscopic Surgeon, Ahmedabad, Gujarat

The trinity of diet, exercise, and lifestyle significantly influences fertility, playing pivotal roles in reproductive health. A sedentary lifestyle, marked by prolonged periods of inactivity, can detrimentally impact fertility. It is often recommended to have a balanced diet rich in nutrients crucial for reproductive function. This includes an adequate intake of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, as well as maintaining a healthy weight. Regular exercise is advocated to enhance blood circulation, regulate hormonal balance, and support overall well-being.

For those leading sedentary lives, gynecologists may suggest simple yet effective exercises like brisk walking, yoga, or swimming. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as managing stress through relaxation techniques and ensuring sufficient sleep are emphasized. Limiting the consumption of harmful substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol is also advised. Gynecologists, recognizing the intricate connection between lifestyle and fertility, play a pivotal role in guiding individuals towards making positive choices that can enhance their reproductive health.

Dr. Talakere Usha Kiran FRCOG (UK), Consultant Gynaecologist & Advanced Laparoscopic/ Hysteroscopic Surgeon/ Scarless Surgeon, Dubai

Role of Surgery in Infertility Treatment!

Have you ever wondered about surgery being one of the fertility treatment options? Here is a short glimpse into it.

LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY FOR INFERTILITY: Treating infertility with laparoscopy involves introducing a telescopic camera through 2-3 small half-centimetre cuts on your abdomen to look into your abdomen and pelvis, assess your reproductive organs, and treat any issues. It is commonly used to test the patency of your fallopian tubes and some of the conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, ovarian cysts, etc. These conditions can also be treated (but not all) at the same time if required by procedures such as laparoscopic myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, etc.

HYSTEROSCOPIC SURGERY FOR INFERTILITY: Hysteroscopic procedures deal with uterine issues and infertility. This is again a telescopic procedure, but the camera is introduced into the uterine cavity to check for any polyps, fibroids, uterine birth defects, or adhesions that lead to infertility. The majority of these defects can also be treated using advanced surgical techniques.

Infertility, affecting 20–30% of the fertile female population, is exacerbated by various factors, including gynecological issues and systemic diseases, as well as lifestyle and environmental conditions like stress, unbalanced nutrition, and unhealthy diets. The correlation between body weight and infertility is substantial, with maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, and adopting fertility-supportive diets being crucial for both women and men. Weight extremes contribute to 30% of infertility, with rates three times higher in obese women, who can enhance fertility by shedding just 5% of their body weight. In men, obesity alters hormones, impacting sperm count and mobility.  Beyond diet, lifestyle adjustments like limiting alcohol, quitting smoking, and engaging in moderate daily exercise are pivotal. Smoking increases miscarriage risk and causes birth defects, while moderate exercise reduces infertility risk and improves sperm quality. Stress adversely affects fertility, and interventions like acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and massage can be beneficial. By incorporating dietary and lifestyle modifications, along with 30 minutes of active exercise, individuals can enhance fertility and increase their chances of conception.

New Delhi (India), November 1: One can say that god is testing me repeatedly, as after my breast cancer diagnosis it felt like the end of the world for me. But as I started to feel a bit better, the hair fall due to my cancer treatment seemed like an additional burden to my already existing full cup of troubles.

After my cancer diagnosis, I felt that each day was a gift from god. I wanted to enjoy it to the fullest but my persistent hair fall got in the way of my happiness. You see, before what seemed like infinite suffering I endured I was just a regular housewife finding pleasure in the simple joys of my family life. I was very affectionate towards my son and beloved husband. I fulfilled all my duties and was a caring person. 

My world was completely shattered after I received my breast cancer diagnosis. I constantly thought, “What did I do to deserve such a dreadful disease!? I had not been exposed to any chemicals!? I certainly was not on any medications that might have caused it!? The question of why me!” bothered me and shook me to my very core. I got more and more anxious and nervous. I had to face the uncertainty of life. There was no escape. Additionally, everyone around me did not let a day go by without reminding me of my diagnosis and feeling pity for me. Due to my overthinking nature, I had other anxieties of my own. Whether my son would be okay if something undesirable happened to me. It was all too much to handle already, so this stress and the cancer treatment created havoc for my hair as well. 

Within a year, I started experiencing intense hair fall, hair thinning, and dandruff. To my horror, it was increasing swiftly. My hair density began reducing. I religiously followed my routine hair care of shampooing twice a week and hair oiling before each wash. I ate fairly nutritious and healthy food. Similar thoughts from earlier days keep cropping up in my mind that I had not taken any chemical treatments or any medications. Why do I suffer from such problems? Why does my hair fall get even worse? Little did I know that hair fall is a vicious cycle? We get stressed. We get hair fall and then we get even more stressed due to it. That’s how the cycle progresses.

One of my relatives had taken a hair treatment for her hair loss from Dr Batra’s® homeopathy clinic a few months back. She asked me to visit as well so that I could see the difference. I was looking for hair fall solutions. This seemed like a good option since I had heard that homeopathy is natural and safe, but I did not try it until now. This experience is quite unique and different than I had hoped but in a good way. 

Here is my experience from the Homeopathic consultation I had at Dr Batra’s® homeopathy clinic:

• When I first visited Dr Batra’s® clinic, I was advised to follow up regularly for the best results. 
• The homeopaths focused on every minute detail about me in a 40 minute consultation. 
• After that, they evaluated the extent of my hair problem with a video-microscopic hair test. They conducted this test with a high grade of magnification to view my hair and scalp problem. 
• After this evaluation, homeopaths not only focused on my symptoms but also considered a holistic approach by the inclusion of symptoms of body, mind, and soul. They treated me with a personalized treatment plan made especially for my complete well-being.
• In order to enhance my hair fall treatment, I had a few sessions of new hair treatment, which is an international hair treatment that prevents hair fall and dandruff. 
• The aesthetician at the clinic said that it would help stimulate new hair growth up to 4 times faster than normal as it improves blood circulation. Moreover, it increases the hair volume quickly and prevents any further hair damage. It had no side effects, did not cause any allergic reactions at all and was much affordable and safer than the expensive surgeries for hair replacements. 

My hair fall showed a great improvement in such a short time. I started seeing improvement in my overall well-being. I was having more energy, I was more positive. I wanted to pursue my hobbies, meet new people, and truly live my life to the fullest. Within a year, I was better and I remained medication free. That’s the goal, am I right!?

Here’s what I learned from this unique experience at Dr Batra’s® clinic:

• You need to understand that homeopathic consultation is very different from regular doctor visits. Homeopaths ask you a varied set of questions that you would never have given a second thought to. You will be asked to comprehensively describe your life story. You would be asked to give an account of your most significant life events and your feelings in regards to them.
• Let me tell you this is the most natural and safest treatment mode I have come across. I did not have to worry about whether it would suit my hair nor did I have to worry about any allergies.
• It was a very unique experience, where we kind of discover things about ourselves that we were unaware of. 
• Remember to be patient and calm and not get irritated, frustrated, or embarrassed as all of us are humans.

Homeopathy gave me a second lease of life to rediscover myself. I have been so happy and enthusiastic all the time since I started my homeopathy treatment for hair fall. Now nobody even remembers that I had cancer, it is a thing of the past. All they remember seeing me is that I love life and enjoy it as much as everyone else does.

So for once, do not fall prey to glamorous ads and opt for simple long-lasting hair fall treatment solutions like homeopathy to remain completely satisfied. Dr Batra’s® homeopathy clinic has treated many of my friends and family up till now. I feel happy to spread my unique and helpful experience in this article.

New Delhi (India), November 1: Breast Cancer is the most common cancers in women in India. According to Breast Cancer India, one woman is diagnosed with the disease every four minutes and one woman dies of this disease in India every 8 minutes. India has a young population and hence, the number of women who are diagnosed with the disease can increase if necessary measures are not adopted to get rid of this problem. The reasons why a disease such as Breast Cancer is rampant is because of lack of awareness, limited access to screening and vaccination, lack of timely treatment, etc. Government, healthcare companies, and NGOs make regular efforts to increase awareness, improve screening, and promote HPV vaccination. FemTech also helps tremendously in early detection and improving outcomes for chronic diseases that can be prevented easily.

GenWorks, a leading digital healthcare solution provider works to make technology available and provide affordable solutions across geographies through digital solutions. Amongst many other services, the company also sensitises an increasing number of women about the importance of FemTech by spreading the knowledge of screening products, and services to focus on women’s health. The FemTech market is valued at $22Billion and is expected to grow at a steady pace over the coming decade. With this, the company is increasingly focused on ensuring that women give higher importance to their health and well-being.

As the world celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month, GenWorks Health has made efforts to raise awareness for an increasing number of women to take action, support one another, and help each other feel better. The company regularly ventures into projects that raise awareness and sensitise women to encourage early screening. GenWorks Health promotes the use of Braster Pro – an AI-enabled screening device for timely medical intervention.

Braster Pro is a contact-based medical device supporting early screening of Breast Cancer. It was created at the best research centres using a comprehensive knowledge of liquid crystal technologies, optoelectronics, artificial intelligence, etc. It’s functioning as a simple and comfortable mobile application. The device uses effective and confirmed observational studies and technology of liquid crystal contact thermography. Based on the thermographic images, the automated interpretation algorithms indicate dangerous changes or abnormalities in the breasts. GenWorks Health promotes the use of Braster Pro as an oncological vigilance system as a standard screening method. The device combines various types of examination that increase the chances of detecting changes at early stages while allowing less invasive treatments and increasing the probability of complete recovery.

As we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, GenWorks Health aims to encourage all women around the last mile of India to perform a reliable breast examination in every doctor’s office. With the promotion of Braster Pro, GenWorks ensures women can safeguard their health and prevent serious problems such as Breast Cancer. The examination is safe and painless and does not use radiation. What’s more, the examination is supported with an intuitive application that guides you step by step through the examination and also standardises the process completely. Another reason why GenWorks promotes Braster Pro is because the efficacy of this method is irrespective of the patient’s age and breast tissue type. The device complements standard screening examinations with the Braster Pro exam which then increases the chance of early detection of suspicious changes. 

GenWorks aspires to make an increasing number of women aware of and embrace the importance of FemTech devices such as Braster Pro. Mr. S Ganesh Prasad, Founder, MD & CEO, GenWorks said, “Braster Pro is an advanced medical device that ensures that women embrace self-care with timely breast screening. As the world celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we aim to ensure that women embrace self-care by ensuring timely screening and medical interventions along with promoting devices that offer seamless healthcare care to women.”
