Kapurthala, June 15

In a ‘Live Dialogue’, organised online by Home Science Department of Hindu Kanya College, gynaecologist Dr Ruche Bhargava cleared the misconceptions regarding cycle irregularities among women. Addressing the students Dr Bhargava said several misconceptions are there regarding cycle-irregularities. Answering the queries, Dr Bhargava cited the need of balanced diet, routine exercise and maintaining emotional balance can lead to perfect period cycle.

Dr Bhargava also stressed on adopting natural ways to handle mensuration-related problems. She said myths like effects of Covid vaccination on cycle irregularities are also false. She suggested all to start practicing ‘Chakki Asan’ to lower down the pain during mensuration. Instead of taking pain-killers, excessive use of which can disturb functioning of kidneys, girls should start taking hot liquids and hot-water massage and perform lower pelvic exercise. The ‘Live Dialogue’ was hosted by Prof Jasdeep Kaur. Prof Sarika Kanda and Prof Sunali Sharma organised the whole show under the guidance of Principal, Dr Archna Garg.
