A Woman’s World: Ten Things You Must Know

  1. Women are born with limited eggs in their ovaries, and when the eggs are exhausted, women reach menopause. Fertility is low, almost nil in the last 10 years before menopause. Indian women reach menopause at an average of 48 years which is about 5 years earlier than their western counterparts. Hence, women of Indian ethnicity are recommended to complete their reproductive function before the age of 35 years, to avoid having to access assisted reproduction.
  2. Career women may want to postpone their pregnancies, or there maybe single women who may not have found the right partners to have babies with. It would be ideal for them to freeze their eggs between the ages of 30 – 35 years when their eggs are more fertile as compared to freezing them beyond 35 years (which normally happens) when the frozen eggs may not give the best results. The best fertility rate is between 20-30 years in a women’s life.
  3. PCOS is a condition which should not be limited to only treating your acne, periods, facial hair or obesity. It follows you even after menopause because it involves a lot of preventive healthcare to cover your risk of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, obesity and cancer.
  4. Pre-marital sex is acceptable, but prevention is the buzzword to allow you to lead a healthy life in future. Make sure that you protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies.
  5. It is extremely easy today to match the DNA of your baby with yours and your partners DNA, to know whether the baby is genetically yours especially in, situations where you have undergone assisted reproduction.
  6. With technological advances today, you can assess your baby’s genetic makeup through sampling of your own blood when you are pregnant.
  7. Your visit to your Gynecologist is not restricted to either having babies or trying to get pregnant. It goes much beyond that, it involves having a regular checkup to make sure that all is well with you and you do everything possible to make sure that you age gracefully.
  8. Pregnancy is a physiological process and you should carry on your normal routine, unless your doctor has asked you not to.
  9. You do not need to douche yourself constantly; as a matter of fact it encourages vaginal infections!

A vaginal tampon needs to be changed at least every 6 hours to avoid vaginal infections.

Do not hesitate to speak to your gynecologist if you are facing any issues!
