Blame it on drastic change in lifestyle or women's lesser body resistance; women's Increasing health issues are catching everyone's eyes. And while there is little that is being done to avoid them, let's look at the most common health issues that women of India today are dealing with:
Breast Cancer : One of the most growing problems among women, which is responsible for 1 per cent of deaths worldwide, is breast cancer. While there's no one cause that can be ascertained as to why it hits one, Medical science does understand some more issues related with it. The main reason is the drastic change in lifestyle. Things like late marriage, delay in having the first baby, less or NO breast feeding, over-weight problems and women's genetic factors, all make for a variety of reasons that heighten the risk of breast cancer in women.
Stroke : Women today are affected with strokes. Diabetes and hypertension are the two most common causes of stroke. Also junk food, lack of exercise, excessive work pressure and no-diet control are the other reasons. As to why women are getting affected with it, is because in households where women are not working, their health is usually ignored till an emergency comes up. While working women get so busy juggling home and careers that they give but li'l attention to their health leading to problems like hypertension.
Polycistic Ovarian Disease : Polycystic ovary disease is yet another Health issue that has come up to be one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting about five to ten per cent of women of reproductive age, which is anything between 12 to 45 years. It is a condition in which there are many small cysts in the ovaries, which can affect a woman's ability to conceive.The First symptom of one acquiring this problem is irregular, light or no periods. Others could be acne, excess growth of hair on the body, hair loss, infertility, weight gain or obesity and high insulin. Timely check-ups can prevent this from increasing. Right medical treatment can treat POD and women can conceive.
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder : Sex is an important part of every one's life. But often the common health issue shared among women is the issue of no sexual arousal despite their wanting to have sex.It's a common Health issue but reasons could lie in any of the four stages of sex. The four stages broadly are:
- desire at the brain level,
- erection or arousal at the body level,
- penetration
- and lastly, the orgasm.
Problem at any of these stages may lead to what we call FSAD.
Weight gain : A woman is always fat by her standards. Leaving that aside, the tendency of most Indian women to put on weight easily, especially after marriage is something that needs a low down. Married women or unmarried women, a proper diet and regular exercise is the only key to Fit body. As for the most cited reason for women putting on weight after marriage – that is sex, it's a complete myth. The reasons lie in the complacency that sets in women. Marriage is a new feeling, they are in a happy state, husband gives them too much attention and all this excitement leads to women secreting the 'feel good' hormones that lead to weight gain. It's easier for working women to stay fit and shapely due to the running about that they need to do. Housewives, who are mostly relaxing at home, are bound to be complaining of the weight gain issue.
