 The Jamaat e Islami Hind Women’s Wing, in partnership with Healthway Hospital, recently organized a free medical camp in Vasco, dedicated to improving women’s health in the community. This thoughtful initiative addressed a critical need, as many women often neglect their own health due to various reasons. Mrs. Naazmeen Khan, a prominent member of the Women’s Wing, emphasized that the camp was a sincere effort to serve society by reaching women who might otherwise hesitate to seek medical care.

The camp offered a range of general health screenings, including checks for diabetes, hypertension, orthopedic concerns, gynecology, and skin ailments. A physiotherapist was also present to provide expert advice and guidance. Dr. Ankit Nair, a specialist in general medicine, highlighted the importance of such camps in expanding healthcare access through comprehensive investigations and consultations. Dr. Rini Naik, a gynecologist, stressed the need for regular health checkups and early detection, especially for conditions like cancer, encouraging women to be proactive about their health. Additionally, she shared information about Healthway Hospital’s discounted test schemes, making essential diagnostics more affordable.

Dr. Anupama Kuchadkar, a dermatologist, urged women to seek care from experienced medical professionals rather than relying on over-the-counter remedies, which may not address underlying conditions effectively. Mrs. Khan expressed deep appreciation for the doctors and the organizing team, whose commitment and teamwork were instrumental in the success of this medical camp.

Over 60 women from diverse age groups and socio-economic backgrounds took part in the camp, benefiting from personalized consultations and screenings. The clinical breast examinations conducted raised awareness about early cancer detection, a vital aspect of women’s health. The camp was well-organized and created a supportive environment where women felt comfortable and informed about their health.

Initiatives like this free medical camp underscore the importance of community-driven healthcare efforts and serve as a reminder that early diagnosis and regular health maintenance can save lives. Through collaboration and dedication, the Jamaat e Islami Hind Women’s Wing and Healthway Hospital continue to empower women in Vasco by ensuring they have access to quality medical services.

Barbara Palvin Reveals Endometriosis Diagnosis and Surgery Recovery

Barbara Palvin, the Hungarian model and actor widely admired for her glamour and charisma, recently showed a different kind of strength — by publicly sharing her private health journey with endometriosis. In an emotional and candid post on Instagram, she revealed that after years of suffering from severe menstrual pain, fatigue, irregular flow, and sleepless nights, she was diagnosed with endometriosis and has undergone surgery to treat it.

“For some years now, I’ve been dealing with the difficulties that can come with my periods,” Barbara wrote. “Fatigue, severe pain, heavy and irregular flow, sleepless nights on the bathroom floor. I thought this was just how it works for me.”

She shared that despite regular visits to her gynecologist, her symptoms were never attributed to endometriosis — a condition that often goes undiagnosed due to the limitations of general medical exams. “I thought if I had endometriosis, I would have known about it by now, but as it turns out, endometriosis can’t be diagnosed with general examinations,” she said.

Three months ago, Barbara finally received the correct diagnosis from a specialist and was advised to undergo surgery — a common treatment option for managing the condition. Now on the path to recovery, she reflected on her first pain-free period in years. “Since then, I finally experienced a period that was easier, and now I know the difference,” she shared.

Barbara’s transparency brings much-needed awareness to endometriosis, a chronic condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Caused by tissue similar to the lining of the uterus growing outside it, endometriosis can lead to debilitating pain, infertility, and significant disruption to daily life. According to the CDC, symptoms can include intense pelvic pain, painful periods, painful intercourse, and even bowel or urinary complications.

Her story highlights the importance of trusting one’s intuition when it comes to personal health. “If you suspect that you could have endometriosis, I encourage you to find out. It helped me a lot, and I’m grateful I did it.”

She also emphasized the value of early diagnosis and rest. “Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to prevent long-term complications. That’s also why I took the past three months to rest and fully heal. I’m excited about this new chapter of my life and now ready to get back to work.”

Alongside her post, Barbara shared photos from her hospital stay — including one in a hospital gown and another with visible bandages following her surgery — humanizing a condition that often remains invisible.

Married to actor Dylan Sprouse and admired for her beauty, Barbara’s decision to publicly speak about her health is an act of both courage and solidarity. In doing so, she not only sheds light on the silent struggles of millions of women but also empowers them to seek answers, advocate for their health, and, ultimately, heal.
