Junk, fatty food main reasons behind ovarian cysts among young girls: Dir Fortis Mohali
Director Fortis Hospital Mohali on Thursday said that the junk and fatty food is among the causes behind ovarian cysts, found in young girls.
Dr. Swapna Misra, Director, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fortis Mohali, who is also a Robotic Laparoscopic and Cancer Surgeon, told Asian News Hub (ANH) that there is a need to put an end to the junk and fatty food, which is the reason behind the ovarian cysts among the young girls.
“Such an issue was being witnessed in the women above 40 years of age, but due to the junk food, fatty food, and other related things, the disease is being witnessed among young girls as well,” she said.
However, she said that there is no need to go for Uterus removal as a solution is available i.e. Robotic surgery. “It is a procedure through which the cysts are being removed without removing the organ,” she said.
She said that the surgery costs RS 40-45,000 in the government hospitals and upto Rs 1.5 lakh in the private hospitals.
She advised people not to consume junk and fatty food to stay fit and healthy.
The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) on Thursday issued an alert regarding the common painkiller, Meftal, and said that people must take the drug only after consulting a doctor as it contains mefenamic acid which can trigger adverse reactions like DRESS syndrome, etc. Meftal is a commonly used drug for menstrual cramps and rheumatoid arthritis.
“Healthcare professionals, patients, and consumers are advised to closely monitor the possibility of the above adverse drug reactions (ADR) associated with the use of the above-suspected drug,” the alert said.
The advisory recommended individuals notify the national coordination center of the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) within the commission by submitting a form on the website www.ipc.gov.in or utilizing the Android mobile applications ADR PvPI and PvPI Helpline No. 1800-180-3024.
The alert from the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission comes as Meftal was rapidly becoming a common painkiller in homes with people using it without much caution to get some relief from muscle and joint pain.
The primary constituent of Meftal is Mefenamic acid, a pain-relieving agent employed for the alleviation of muscle and joint pain as well as menstrual pain. Additionally, it exhibits efficacy in mitigating sore throats, nerve pain, and muscle aches.
