Motherhood is not just the birth of a baby; it's the birth of a new you.
Have you heard of Matrescence?
Just like adolescence, becoming a mother is a profound physical, emotional and psychological transition.
You can deeply love your baby and still miss your old life. You can feel grateful and overwhelmed at the same time. And that's completely okay!
Give yourself time, acknowledge your emotions, prioritise your well-being and never hesitate to seek support.

Remember, a mother's needs matter too.

Are your periods normal? 🩸
Watch out for these signs of abnormal periods:
🔴 Periods lasting more than 7 days
🔴 Menstrual cycles occurring too frequently or too far apart
🔴 Passing blood clots during periods
🔴 Bleeding or spotting between periods

These changes may indicate an underlying gynaecological condition and should not be ignored.
Early evaluation can help identify the cause and guide the right treatment.

Consult your gynaecologist for expert advice and personalised care.

What is HPV?
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a common viral infection, and not every type of HPV causes cervical cancer. However, certain high-risk types can lead to cervical cancer if the infection persists.
Early diagnosis, appropriate follow-up, regular screening, and timely treatment of precancerous changes are essential to protect your health. HPV vaccination can also help prevent infections caused by major cancer-causing types.
Get informed, get screened, and prioritise your health!

Consult Dr. Smitha Raghavan, Dubai, for expert guidance on HPV and cervical health.

Holidays, weddings, or travel plans coming up — and your periods are scheduled for exactly the same dates?
Many women take tablets to postpone their periods, but is it safe for everyone?
Period-delay medication can be used in certain situations, but taking it frequently or without medical advice may cause spotting, irregular bleeding, headaches, breast tenderness, and other side effects.
More importantly, these medicines may not be suitable for everyone.
So, before taking a pill recommended by a friend, consult your gynecologist to understand which option is safe for you and when to start it.

Plan your period, but plan it safely!

Are your periods actually too heavy, or are they normal for you?
Heavy menstrual bleeding is not just about how many pads you use. If your periods last more than 7 days, you soak through a pad every hour for several hours, pass large blood clots, or experience fatigue, dizziness, weakness or breathlessness, it’s time to consult a gynecologist.
Excessive menstrual bleeding can sometimes lead to iron-deficiency anemia. Don’t ignore the signs or assume that heavy periods are normal for you.

Can cervical cancer be prevented? Yes.
Almost all cervical cancers are linked to persistent high-risk HPV infection—but HPV does NOT mean you have cancer.
Regular cervical screening can detect precancerous changes early, when they can often be treated before becoming cancer.

Know your HPV. Get screened. Protect your health.
