Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian Cancer develops in the ovaries, the female reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones.
It is often diagnosed late because early stages may not cause noticeable symptoms.
Risk factors include family history, BRCA gene mutations, older age, and never having been pregnant.
Symptoms may include bloating, abdominal swelling, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and changes in bowel habits.
Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and sometimes hormone therapy.

Uterine Cancer (Endometrial Cancer)

Uterine Cancer, most commonly Endometrial Cancer, develops in the lining of the uterus (womb).
It is more common in postmenopausal women and linked to obesity, hormonal imbalance, and family history.
Symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, painful urination, and pain during intercourse.
If untreated, it can spread to nearby pelvic organs and lymph nodes.
Treatment may include surgery (hysterectomy), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy.

Upper vs Lower UTI

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are classified into upper and lower types.
Lower UTI affects the bladder (cystitis) and urethra, causing burning urination, urgency, and pelvic pain.
Upper UTI involves the kidneys (pyelonephritis), with fever, chills, nausea, and flank pain.
Upper UTIs are more serious and can lead to kidney damage or sepsis if untreated.
Early recognition and proper treatment help prevent complications in both types.

Complicated UTI occurs when infection is linked to structural or medical problems in the urinary tract.
It is common in patients with diabetes, kidney stones, catheters, or weak immunity.
Symptoms may include fever, flank pain, burning urination, and blood in urine.
These infections are harder to treat and can spread to kidneys or bloodstream.
Accurate diagnosis, targeted antibiotics, and managing the underlying cause are vital.

Usually, it does not require treatment unless in pregnancy or before urinary procedures.
Treating unnecessarily can lead to antibiotic resistance.
Screening and treatment are recommended only in specific high-risk groups.

Hepatitis E – A Curable Liver Infection

Hepatitis E is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the liver, mainly spread through contaminated food and water. It is more common in areas with poor sanitation and usually results in an acute, short-term illness. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Unlike other types of viral hepatitis, Hepatitis E generally does not become chronic and is considered curable, though it can be serious in pregnant women. Prevention is best achieved through safe drinking water, proper hygiene, and sanitation practices.
