World Thyroid Day celebrated doing what I do best — sharing the nuances of safe thyroid surgery and the lessons that help me sleep well after every thyroidectomy.

Had a wonderful time at the CME on Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery at Believers Church Hospital, Thiruvalla. Presented my video on safe thyroid surgery, exchanged ideas, and most importantly, met friends old and new.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute, connect, and continue striving for safer surgery and better patient care.

There is no proven scientific evidence that deodorants or antiperspirants cause breast cancer.

This myth began because these products are used near the breast area and contain aluminum compounds, but studies have not found a direct connection. The amount of aluminum absorbed through the skin is extremely low and considered safe for regular use. If you notice any skin irritation or unusual breast changes, consult a doctor for proper evaluation.
