1. Women Reproductive Health Check up
We organised two free health check ups, at different places in our ward, for community intervention. Both the camps were held for women only.
Breast exams and Uterus exams improve the chances of finding diseases early. And the earlier mild or deadly diseases are found, the easier it is to treat. Certain factors increase the risk of breast and/or Ovarian cancer including increasing age, obesity, harmful use of alcohol, family history of breast cancer, history of radiation exposure, reproductive history (such as age that menstrual periods began and age at first pregnancy), tobacco use and postmenopausal hormone therapy. We wanted to give the above awareness as well as run a check up on all participating individuals.
2. Breast Check up
66 women turned up that day with two doctors on board and two volunteers to help.
3. Sexual Reproductive Health Check up
43 Women went through the smear test. One Gynaecologist and two volunteers were present that day.
