Pre Menstrual Syndrome

For many people in India, especially those in the older age groups, diabetes is a lifestyle condition that they live with on a daily basis. However, diabetes is becoming more common in younger age groups as well, raising issues of public health. After China, India is the country with the second-highest prevalence of diabetes, with an estimated 77 million individuals - or roughly 1 in 11 Indians - having the disease. Pre-diabetes is a condition or stage that precedes diabetes, where the body's blood sugar levels are elevated but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. The National Urban Diabetes Survey estimates that our nation has a startling 14 per cent prevalence of pre-diabetes, commonly known as borderline diabetes. Due to the absence or minimal visibility of symptoms, many people in their 30s and 40s may be pre-diabetic without even being aware of it. If diabetes runs in your family, you are at an increased risk of developing it yourself. Nevertheless, by making dietary and lifestyle changes, pre-diabetes may still be somewhat reversed and treated. Here are some precautions and tips one can be mindful of to stay healthy as a pre-diabetic: Move About More Sitting is the new smoking. A sedentary lifestyle is known to increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise and workouts approved by a trainer or doctor help manage pre-diabetes by lowering blood glucose levels. Moreover, being active can improve insulin sensitivity throughout the body. It can also help you manage your weight which is crucial to not slip into diabetes. Try brisk walks, jogs, and runs and gradually move to more aerobic exercises such as dance and biking/bicyling. Weight Management Did you know that being overweight, or having a body mass index over 25, can increase one's risk of developing type 2 diabetes? If you are diagnosed for pre-diabetes, gradually losing 5-10 per cent of your body weight can significantly improve your chances of delaying or reversing diabetes prevalence. Ask a trainer to help you focus on your midsection for belly fat, as a large waist circumference is known to put a person at an increased risk of diabetes. Keep Stress at Bay Stress can make you sick, but it can also make you pre-diabetic, or at least make your condition worse. An imbalance of stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline - known for the fight or flight response - can trigger blood glucose levels to shoot up and remain high. Make time for adequate rejuvenation on your schedule, and make sure to not pressure yourself to work like a machine. Make time for laughter and time with friends and family. Schedule time for walks, gardening or other hobbies that help you decompress. Watch What's on Your Plate Consider the composition of your meals. Is there an adequate balance between protein, carbohydrates, fats and necessary vitamins and minerals? For a healthy portion, pre-diabetics should fill half of their plate with non-starchy vegetables and leafy greens, and the rest with healthy carbohydrates, whole grains and lean protein. Stocking up on fibre will ensure satiety without raising blood sugar. Snack on nuts and fruit, even if they seem to be sugary. One must remember they have natural sugar. Avoid Drinking Your Sugar Added sugars must be avoided at all costs to avoid escalation into diabetes. Sweetened beverages can spike blood sugar levels and provide little nutritional diversity, such as protein. This includes energy drinks, soft drinks and any syrups or liquid desserts. Research says that substituting one daily serving of a sugary drink with low-calorie alternatives such as water, coffee, or tea is linked with a 2-10 per cent lower risk of diabetes.

मॉस्को- कोरोना के नए वेरिएंट ओमिक्रोन से पीड़ित बच्चों में इसके बाद कोई गंभीर लक्षण देखने को नहीं मिला है। एक शोध में यह बात उभर कर सामने आई है। इस शोध में कहा गया है कि ओमिक्रोन का बच्चों पर हल्का असर रहा है लेकिन इसने काफी बच्चों को अपनी चपेट में लिया था। रूसी सैनिटरी निगरानी संस्थान गेब्रीचेव्स्की इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ एपिडेमियोलॉजी एंड माइक्रोबायोलॉजी की वैज्ञानिक तात्याना रुजेंत्सोवा ने समाचार एजेंसी तास को बताया हमारे पास हालांकि,अभी तक केवल प्रारंभिक डेटा है। वर्तमान में बच्चों में जटिलताओं की आवृत्ति का अनुमान लगाना असंभव है। लेकिन अधिकांश बच्चों में ओमिक्रॉन से संक्रमित होने के बाद कोई गंभीर दुष्परिणाम नहीं देखा गया है। रुजेंत्सोवा के अनुसार, कुछ युवा रोगियों में अभी भी थकान, सिरदर्द और तापमान में मामूली वृद्धि देखी गई है। उन्होंने कहा, ऐसे बच्चों को आम तौर पर एक स्थानीय बाल रोग विशेषज्ञ की देखरेख में होना चाहिए और यदि आवश्यक हो तो उनकी अतिरिक्त जांच भी करनी चाहिए। उन्होंने पहले कहा था कि ओमिक्रोन वैरिएंट डेल्टा स्ट्रेन की तुलना में हल्के पोस्ट-कोविड सिंड्रोम का कारण बनता है। केस वेस्टर्न रिजर्व यूनिवर्सिटी के एक अध्ययन ने 80,000 बच्चों के स्वास्थ्य रिकॉर्ड की जांच कर पाया कि ओमिक्रोन संक्रमण से पीड़ित बच्चों की अस्पताल में भर्ती होने की दर एक प्रतिशत थी जबकि डेल्टा के साथ यह तीन प्रतिशत से अधिक रही थी । लेकिन फिर भी बहुत अधिक संक्रमित बच्चों के साथ, वह एक प्रतिशत बड़ी वास्तविक संख्या में बदल जाता है। समाचार पत्र गार्जियन ने एक रिपोर्ट में कहा है कि बच्चों में लंबे समय तक कोविड का निदान करना काफी कम देखा गया है लेकिन अमेरिका में कुछ बच्चों ने अपने प्रारंभिक संक्रमण के लंबे समय बाद सिरदर्द, पेट दर्द और चक्कर आना, थकान, मनोदशा में बदलाव के लक्षणों की बात कही थी। जनवरी में यूरोपियन जर्नल ऑफ पीडियाट्रिक्स में ऑनलाइन प्रकाशित डेनमार्क के एक अध्ययन में 0 से 17 वर्ष की आयु के लगभग 30,000 बच्चो को शामिल किया गया था। इनमें से लगभग आधे बच्चों की रिपोर्ट पहले कोविड पॉजिटिव थी। छह से 17 वर्ष की आयु के 0.8 प्रतिशत से अधिक कोविड-पॉजिटिव बच्चों ने चार सप्ताह से अधिक समय तक चलने वाले लक्षणों के बारे में जानकारी दी थी। इटली की एक अन्य रिपोर्ट से पता चला है कि कोविड संक्रमित 129 बच्चों में से लगभग 43 प्रतिशत ने अपने प्रारंभिक संक्रमण के 60 दिनों के बाद कम से कम एक लक्षण का अनुभव किया था। (एजेंसी) यह भी पढ़े► विटामिन डी की कमी कोविड संक्रमण को कर सकती है और गंभीर - अध्ययन

Menstrual health comprises the physical, social and mental aspects related to menstruation or periods. In India, women's health has been given secondary importance due to a male dominant society, illiteracy, low socio-economic conditions and ignorance. The most common causes of menstrual problems are PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), and abnormal or heavy menstrual bleeding. Menstruation or monthly periods have been associated with a lot of social and cultural taboos in India. Many young girls and women do not have facilities to manage their menses hygienically, maintaining their privacy, dignity and gender equality at home, schools and workplaces. So, what are normal periods? A normal menstrual period lasts from 2-7 days and comes at an interval of 21-35 days. It is difficult to quantify the actual menstrual flow. In general, use of three to four XL or regular size sanitary pads per day (since they need to be changed every six to eight hours) can be considered normal on an average, but it may vary depending on the individual. Common Menstrual Problems 1. Menstrual hygiene 2. Menstrual flow 3. Menstrual cycle 4. Menstrual hormones Menstrual Hygiene Related Problems: Use of unclean sanitary pads or clothes can give rise to genital tract infections, anaemia and urinary tract Infection. This can be prevented by social awareness and easy availability of affordable sanitary products. It is also important to have the right knowledge about menstrual hygiene to avoid such issues from taking place. Menstrual Flow Related Problems: One can experience excess or scanty flow during periods. Usually heavy menstrual flow can be for 1-2 days but if it continues for more than 5-7 days, it can lead to low haemoglobin and anaemia. This definitely needs to be investigated and treated along with oral iron replacement therapy. The less flow or change in flow over years can be due to hormonal imbalance. This can occur mostly after completion of family in perimenopausal age. Menstrual Cycle Related Problems: Irregular periods, skipping or not getting periods for more than six months (also known as secondary amenorrhoea) and bleeding in between periods (called inter menstrual bleeding) are a few problems under this type of problem. The most common cause for this is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), stress, anxiety and depression. Investigations in the form of pelvic sonography and hormonal investigations are necessary to make a diagnosis. Regular exercise, a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle changes are important. Menstrual Hormone Related Problems: This usually gives rise to psychomotor issues. They can be symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) at any age group or peri/postmenopausal vasomotor symptoms after the age of 45. Bloating, breast tenderness, irritability and depression which occur premenstrually and disappear with onset of periods are classical symptoms of PMS. If they are affecting day to day family life, then it needs to be treated. Every woman experiences menopausal symptoms in varying severity, starting usually 4-5 years before menopause. The night sweats, hot flushes, low moods, anxiety, irritability, joint and muscle pain, loss of interest in having sex, and weight gain are typical menopausal symptoms due to deficiency of oestorgen hormones. No matter which type of menstrual problem you're facing, it is always advisable to visit a gynaecologist who will be able to identify all your queries after making the right diagnosis. Nua, a new-age brand transforming the women's wellness space in India with holistic and personalised solutions that addresses real problems faced by women in managing their menstrual health and personal hygiene, provides an innovative range of products and services, including India's first customizable pack of sanitary pads and self-heating menstrual cramp patches, also available on a subscription basis.
