On the occasion of International Women’s Day which is being celebrated this year amid coronavirus pandemic, a Mumbai Hospital conducted free health check-up camp for women police personnel.
Around 20 female cops participated in the exclusive free health check-up, screening, and consultation camp, which was conducted by Motherhood Hospital on March 7, International Women’s Day Eve.
They were offered free blood pressure, BMI, random blood sugar, gynaecological consultations, and education regarding HPV and COVID-19 vaccines.
In order to help them live a disease-free life, the hospital organised a wellness camp wherein the female cops will be monitored for blood pressure, blood sugar, bone health check-up, dietary advice, personal and menstrual hygiene, body mass index (BMI), and gynaecological consultations for cervical, breast, and uterine cancer, urinary tract infections, and other problems such as fibroids and vaginal problems.
The common problems were body pain owing to calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and white discharge said the doctors and added that they were advised to take calcium and vitamin D supplements.
A senior doctor said early detection and prompt treatment is the key to healthy living. These female cops were informed about various cancers, advised to go for regular screening that is Pap smears, breast self-examination for noticing lumps or cancer at an early stage, yearly ultrasound to diagnose polyp or abnormal growth in the uterus, HPV vaccine for one’s in the age group of 13-35 and even Covid vaccine. Remember to exercise daily, eat immunity-boosting foods and go for early check-ups.
Police personnel have hectic schedules and need to work tirelessly for the welfare of society and they often tend to neglect their health while taking care of others. They are unable to stick to a healthy lifestyle that involves diet and exercise. It is also essential for them to combat stress during the pandemic and otherwise, sleep well and stay fit.
