New Campaign Aims to Raise Awareness of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Imagine your period is acting weird – it's heavier, lasts longer, or comes more often.
This is called abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), and it's common in India.
Sometimes, it's caused by growths in your uterus.
Many women don't know about it or are scared of going to the doctor.
But there are treatments!
Doctors can use a small camera to look inside and fix the problem, often without needing a big surgery.
Modern methods are available to remove tissues gently.
The goal is to help women understand and seek help for their issues.
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is common, affecting up to 17.09% of Indian women.
Common causes include hormonal imbalances, uterine polyps, and fibroids.
Many women delay seeking treatment due to lack of awareness or fear of procedures.
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and treating AUB.
The Mechanical Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal (mHTR) system is a modern advancement.
