Cancer: Two-thirds of the cases of cervical cancer in women occur in India. Every nine minutes a woman dies because of it.

Many women are not aware of their own health after the completion of the family. Women aged 30 to 65 should get their cervix and breast cancer screened once every five years.

According to Dr. Aarti Mehra, Senior Gynecologist, RRC Hospital, New Delhi, free VIA screening is done at primary health centers of Indore to prevent this cancer.

Apart from this, the treatment of this disease is done in RRC Hospital. Apart from this, treatment facilities are available in private hospitals.

By getting this type of test done, women can get it detected even before the beginning of serious cancer and it can be treated immediately.

If women have irregular menstruation, persistent pain in the stomach or any other type of gynecological symptoms, they should immediately consult a female doctor and take treatment.

Once a year, women should take a medical consultation from a gynaecologist. This can save them from serious diseases. Breast cancer is also more common in women. Such women can get themselves screened through a doctor apart from getting themselves tested.

After the age of 40, mammography test should also be done once in every two years. Women in whose family, mother, sister or anyone else has had breast cancer in the past, should also get themselves examined.

If women control their diet, exercise regularly, they can avoid many diseases.
