The Silent Importance of Midlife Gynecological Health

Ignoring these can lead to undetected conditions like cervical cancer and osteoporosis, impacting overall health. Experts advocate for preventative screenings to catch early signs of potential health issues.

Sri Ramakrishna Hospital has issued an urgent call for women in their 40s and 50s to prioritize regular gynecological visits. Health experts warn that overlooking these vital checkups can leave silent conditions such as cervical cancer, osteoporosis, and hormonal imbalances undetected, significantly impacting long-term health.

Many women during midlife forego these checks while managing careers, families, and caregiving responsibilities. However, experts stress the importance of routine screenings like PAP smears and HPV tests for early cancer detection. Common issues such as menstrual irregularities and mood swings could be early indicators of more serious conditions like uterine fibroids.

Beyond reproduction, gynecologists at the hospital take a holistic approach, monitoring overall health concerns. They address everything from cardiovascular risk and bone density to mental health issues related to hormonal changes, collaborating with specialists to ensure comprehensive care.
