In the Times of India article, experts urge people to stop blaming sugar alone for diabetes, explaining that the condition is far more complex than just eating sweets. Dr Amit Gupta, Senior Consultant – Paediatrician and Neonatologist at Motherhood Hospitals in Noida, says diabetes in children and adults is influenced by genetics, sedentary lifestyles, screen time, and poor dietary habits rather than the occasional dessert. He highlights the importance of early awareness, recognising warning signs, and promoting physical activity and balanced nutrition. Understanding how the body processes insulin and addressing lifestyle factors are key to preventing and managing diabetes effectively.

Smoking poses greater health risks for women than men, affecting reproductive health, heart function, and long-term wellbeing. Women who smoke are more likely to experience fertility issues, menstrual irregularities, earlier onset of menopause, and complications during pregnancy, including ectopic pregnancy and placental problems. The harmful chemicals in tobacco also accelerate the risk of cardiovascular diseases, with women showing stronger negative effects on blood vessels and heart health compared to male smokers. Dr. Padma Srivastava, Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in Lullanagar, Pune, emphasises that quitting smoking can significantly reduce these risks and improve overall health outcomes.

Bollywood author Twinkle Khanna, at age 51, recently opened up about experiencing hot flashes, a common symptom of menopause that many women silently endure as hormonal levels change with age.

This transition can also lead to mood changes and sleep disturbances, and women are encouraged to seek medical guidance rather than ignore symptoms. Dr Pratima Thamke, Motherhood Kharadi, emphasises the importance of recognising these signs early and consulting a specialist for personalised care and symptom management during menopause.

A 30‑year‑old woman was found to have uterine fibroids as large as an eight‑month pregnancy despite feeling no pain or discomfort, highlighting how fibroids can remain asymptomatic. These benign growths in the uterus often vary in size, number, and location, and many women may not realise they have them until detected during routine check‑ups or imaging. While some fibroids cause heavy bleeding, cramps, or pressure symptoms, others remain silent. Dr. Madhuri Vidyashankar P., Consultant in Gynaecology, Hysteroscopic & Laparoscopic Surgeries in Bangalore, explains how asymptomatic fibroids are often discovered incidentally.
