Every Woman is a Super Woman #InternationalWomensDay2024 by Dr. Niveditha Sai Chandra
In an era where balancing work and life is a daily challenge, women are emerging as true superheroes, facing the everyday hurdles to preserve their well-being. Dr. Niveditha Sai Chandra, leading neurologist at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals in Begumpet, Hyderabad, sheds light on how addressing neurological issues can contribute to empowering women as ‘Super Women.’
In the modern age, the quest for maintaining physical and mental well-being amid daily challenges has become essential for women. Dr. Niveditha emphasises that neurological disorders, ranging from migraines and seizures to conditions like fibromyalgia and dementia, not only impact women’s health but also influence overall vitality.
Neurological conditions often manifest as disruptions in hormonal balance, tranquil lifestyles, and can exacerbate health issues like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. These neurological disorders proactively contributes to maintaining peace of mind, hormonal equilibrium, and overall health.
Migraines, affecting 30% of women, can lead to various types of headaches and impact daily life.
Hormonal fluctuations can also be linked to conditions such as fibromyalgia, affecting 3-4% of the global population, predominantly women. Recognizing the role of estrogen in bone density, women are more prone to osteoporosis-related issues than men. Dr. Niveditha urges that early detection and proactive management can alleviate these challenges.
Furthermore, she points out that neurological disorders like strokes are among the leading causes of death and disability, with women being disproportionately affected. Women are at a higher risk of developing degenerative diseases like dementia and Parkinson’s, with a prevalence rate of 6:1 compared to men.
Dr. Niveditha advocates for a holistic approach to women’s health, lifestyle modifications such as balanced nutrition, stress management, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Additionally, practices like yoga, meditation, and a supportive social network can significantly contribute to overall well-being.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2024, KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals encourages every woman to recognize her inner strength. Dr. Niveditha Sai Chandra highlights that prioritizing health, seeking timely medical attention, and embracing a well-rounded lifestyle are crucial steps towards achieving and maintaining superlative health.
