Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, and genetic conditions. Raising awareness about renal disease is vital for early detection and prevention. Many people remain unaware they have kidney problems until symptoms become severe. Public education about the importance of regular health check-ups, especially for at-risk groups, can help in identifying kidney issues early. Promoting healthy lifestyles—such as a balanced diet, staying active, and avoiding smoking and unnecessary medications—also plays a key role. With proper awareness and timely intervention, the progression of kidney disease can be slowed, improving outcomes and saving lives.

As a part of UBA and community outreach program students reached kondenjeri village to create the Awareness About the Impact of Stress on Renal Health. Stress, though often seen as a mental or emotional issue, can have serious consequences on physical health, including the kidneys. Chronic stress triggers hormonal imbalances and increases blood pressure, both of which can strain the kidneys over time. Stress may also lead to unhealthy lifestyle habits such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, or overuse of painkillers—all risk factors for kidney disease. Additionally, stress can worsen existing conditions like diabetes and hypertension, further harming kidney function. Raising awareness about the link between stress and renal health is essential. Managing stress through techniques like meditation, regular exercise, proper sleep, and seeking emotional support can significantly reduce its negative impact. Educating the public on the importance of mental well-being as part of kidney care encourages a more holistic approach to health. Protecting the kidneys starts with managing stress and embracing a balanced lifestyle.

As a part of UBA and community outreach program students reached kondenjeri village to create the Awareness About the Prevalence of Renal Disease Associated with Bone Disorders. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) not only affects kidney function but also has a significant impact on bone health, a condition known as CKD-MBD (mineral and bone disorder). As kidney function declines, the body struggles to maintain proper levels of calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D, leading to weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures. This connection between renal disease and bone disorders is often underrecognized, yet it is highly prevalent, especially in advanced stages of CKD. Early signs may be subtle, such as joint pain or muscle weakness, but if left unmanaged, CKD-MBD can lead to serious complications, including bone deformities and cardiovascular issues. Raising awareness about this link is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment. Patients with kidney disease should receive regular screening for bone health, along with nutritional counseling and medication management. Educating both patients and healthcare providers can help prevent severe outcomes and improve quality of life.

As a part of UBA and community outreach program students reached kondenjeri village to create the Awareness About Renal Disease Associated with Lifestyle Changes. Renal diseases are increasingly linked to modern lifestyle habits, making awareness more important than ever. Unhealthy diets high in salt, sugar, and processed foods, combined with physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake, contribute significantly to conditions like hypertension and diabetes—major risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). As lifestyles become more sedentary and stress levels rise, kidney health is often neglected until symptoms appear in later stages. Raising awareness about how daily habits impact kidney function is essential for prevention. Encouraging regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper hydration, and routine health screenings can help identify early signs of renal dysfunction. Additionally, promoting healthier choices and stress management can reduce the burden of kidney-related diseases. Public health campaigns, workplace wellness programs, and educational efforts can play a key role in fostering lifestyle changes. Early action and informed decisions are crucial in protecting renal health and enhancing long-term well-being.

As a part of UBA and community outreach program students reached kondenjeri village to create the Awareness About Renal Nutrition.

Proper dietary choices can help manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve quality of life. Awareness about renal nutrition involves understanding what foods support kidney function and which ones should be limited. For instance, individuals may need to monitor their intake of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, as excess amounts can strain the kidneys. A renal-friendly diet typically includes fresh fruits (low in potassium), vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while avoiding processed foods, salty snacks, and sugary drinks. Hydration is important but should be balanced according to medical advice. People with CKD should work with dietitians to create personalized meal plans. Increasing public awareness about renal nutrition can lead to early lifestyle adjustments that prevent or manage kidney disease more effectively. Nutrition is a powerful tool in preserving kidney health and overall wellness.

As a part of UBA and community outreach program students reached kondenjeri village to create the Awareness About Renal Disease in Pregnancy. Renal disease during pregnancy is a serious health concern that can affect both the mother and the developing baby. Kidney disorders, whether pre-existing or pregnancy-induced, can lead to complications such as high blood pressure, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and reduced kidney function. Women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face higher risks, and pregnancy may further strain already weakened kidneys. Awareness is essential to ensure early detection, proper management, and a safe pregnancy. Regular prenatal check-ups, monitoring blood pressure and kidney function, and controlling underlying conditions like diabetes or lupus are crucial. Educating women of reproductive age about the importance of kidney health before and during pregnancy can greatly reduce risks. Healthcare providers should promote routine screening, especially in high-risk groups. With timely medical care and lifestyle adjustments, many women with kidney issues can have successful pregnancies and healthier outcomes for both mother and child. Early awareness truly saves lives.

Do's and Don’ts during ictal seizures: Don’t put anything in the person's mouth, try to move the person, or try to restrain the person. Do’s: safely cushion the person's head, clear objects near the person, keep the person onto their side, keep airway clear, loosen tight clothing around the neck, note the time and length of the seizure, stay with the person until recovery. If the seizure lasts for about 15 to 30 minutes, the person should be hospitalized and the first-line drug (phenytoin) will be given.

Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. It's characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to produce enough insulin or use it effectively. There are two main types: Type 1, where the body doesn't produce insulin, and Type 2, where the body doesn't use insulin well. Symptoms include increased thirst and urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow healing of cuts and wounds. If left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to serious complications like heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems. However, with proper management, people with diabetes can lead active and healthy lives. Management involves medications (oral or injectable), lifestyle changes (healthy diet, regular exercise, weight management), monitoring blood sugar levels, and regular health check-ups. By working with a healthcare team and making healthy choices, individuals with diabetes can control their condition and reduce the risk of complications. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to preventing long-term damage and improving quality of life.

Hydration is essential for maintaining overall health and proper functioning of the human body. Water makes up about 60% of the body and plays a crucial role in nearly every bodily function. It helps regulate body temperature, supports digestion, transports nutrients, removes waste products through urine and sweat, and keeps joints lubricated. Proper hydration is vital for brain function, improving focus, concentration, and mood. Dehydration, even if mild, can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, headache, dizziness, and decreased physical performance. In severe cases, it can result in heatstroke, kidney problems, or low blood pressure. Hydration is especially important during hot weather, intense physical activity, or illness, as the body loses more fluids. Drinking enough water also promotes healthy skin, supports cardiovascular health, and helps prevent constipation. While water is the best source, hydration can also come from fruits, vegetables, and other fluids. The general recommendation is to drink at least 8 glasses (around 2 liters) of water daily, though individual needs vary based on age, climate, and activity levels. In conclusion, staying hydrated is a simple but powerful way to support good health, boost energy, and prevent a range of health problems. Prioritizing hydration should be a daily habit.

As a part of the UBA and community outreach program, students reached Kodancherry village to give awareness on cervical cancer.

It is a significant health concern for women worldwide, with a high incidence and mortality rate, particularly in developing countries. The causes and risk factors include HPV infection, smoking, weakened immune system, and early age of first intercourse. The symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and abnormal vaginal discharge. Prevention and screening methods include HPV vaccination, regular Pap tests, and safe sex practices such as using condoms and limiting sexual partners.

Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB, is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also impact other parts of the body (extrapulmonary TB), such as the kidneys, spine, or brain. TB is a major global health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, releasing droplets that contain the bacteria. Prolonged exposure to an infected individual increases the risk of transmission. Common symptoms include persistent coughing (often with blood-tinged sputum), chest pain, fatigue, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. TB is curable with appropriate antibiotic therapy, typically involving a combination of drugs taken for 6–9 months. However, drug-resistant strains (multidrug-resistant TB or MDR-TB) pose a challenge, requiring longer and more complex treatment regimens. Preventive measures include vaccination with the BCG vaccine, avoiding close contact with infected individuals, and ensuring proper ventilation in crowded settings. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to reducing transmission and improving outcomes. Global efforts focus on controlling TB through public health initiatives and research for more effective vaccines and treatments.

Unfortunately, a person’s inability to deal with stress can often lead to clinical depression. People with depression have similar symptoms to stress, except the symptoms are not temporary—they can last for weeks at a time. The following symptoms are signs of major depression: sadness, anxiety, or “empty” feelings; decreased energy and fatigue; loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities; sleep disturbances such as insomnia or oversleeping; appetite and weight changes; feelings of hopelessness, guilt, and worthlessness; thoughts of death or suicide; difficulty concentrating or making decisions; irritability; and chronic aches or pains not explained by another condition. Stress is a fact of life, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. It is the way human beings react both physically and mentally to changes, events, and situations in their lives. People experience stress in different ways and for different reasons, and the reaction is based on one’s perception of an event or situation. The most frequent causes of stress fall into three categories: the unsettling effects of change, the feeling that an outside force is challenging or threatening you, and the feeling that you have lost personal control.

Everyone should know that protecting lung health today ensures better breathing for the future.

Saveetha college of allied health and science students has conducted awareness on Asthma

at kondanjeri village on 07.08.2025 Asthma is a chronic, reversible inflammatory condition of the airways that affects people of all ages. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, particularly at night or early in the morning. These symptoms result from inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airway obstruction. In people with asthma, the airways become overly sensitive to various triggers such as allergens (dust mites, pollen, pet dander), cold air, exercise, smoke, pollution, and respiratory infections.During an asthma attack, the airway muscles tighten (bronchoconstriction), the lining swells, and excess mucus is produced, all of which narrow the airways and make breathing difficult. While asthma can range from mild to severe, it is typically manageable with proper treatment, which may include inhaled bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and avoidance of known triggers.Although asthma is not curable, with proper management and medication adherence, individuals can lead normal, active lives. Regular monitoring, patient education, and action plans are essential in preventing complications and maintaining good control over the condition. Early diagnosis and consistent care significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of severe exacerbations or hospitalizations.

Everyone has a role to play in keeping the environment mosquito-free and staying safe from this disease.

Saveetha college of allied health and science students has conducted awareness on  Tuberculosis (TB) at kondanjeri village on 07/08/2025 Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious and serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also spread to other parts of the body such as the lymph nodes, bones, kidneys, and brain (extrapulmonary TB). TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, releasing tiny droplets containing the bacteria.After exposure, the infection can remain inactive (latent TB), where the person has no symptoms and is not contagious. However, latent TB can become active, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV, malnutrition, or diabetes.Common symptoms of active TB include a persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, chest pain, coughing up blood, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue. TB is diagnosed through chest X-rays, sputum tests, and skin or blood tests. Treatment involves a long course (usually 6 months or more) of multiple antibiotics, such as isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Completing the full course is crucial to prevent drug resistance. Drug-resistant TB, which does not respond to standard treatment, is a growing global health concern. Early detection, vaccination (BCG), and public health efforts are key to TB control and prevention.

Our kidneys are like a village water filter — they clean our blood and remove waste. If they stop working, waste stays in the body and makes us sick. To keep kidneys healthy: drink enough clean water, eat more vegetables and less salty or oily food, and avoid too much packaged snacks. Control sugar and blood pressure with regular checkups. Don’t smoke, drink less alcohol, and avoid taking tablets without doctor’s advice. Work hard, but also give your body rest. Healthy kidneys keep the whole body strong, just like clean water keeps a village healthy. 

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a gradual loss of kidney function over time, often going unnoticed until advanced stages. Awareness is crucial because early detection can prevent complications like kidney failure. Risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, and family history. Symptoms may be subtle, such as fatigue, swelling, or changes in urination. Regular check-ups and simple blood and urine tests help identify CKD early. Managing underlying conditions, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding harmful substances can slow progression. Raising awareness empowers people to take preventive steps and seek timely medical care to protect their kidney health.

Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces excess hormones, speeding up body metabolism. This overactivity can affect the kidneys by increasing blood flow and filtration (GFR), leading to electrolyte imbalance, frequent urination, and added stress on kidney function. Muscle breakdown in hyperthyroidism may also raise waste products, burdening the kidneys further. High blood pressure and heart rhythm problems caused by hyperthyroidism can worsen chronic kidney disease (CKD). People with thyroid or kidney issues should monitor kidney function, blood pressure, and thyroid levels regularly. Early detection and treatment protect both thyroid and kidney health

CKD–Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD). Impaired kidney function disrupts calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone balance, leading to weak bones, fractures, bone pain, and vascular calcification. These complications significantly increase disability, cardiovascular risk, and mortality. Creating awareness is vital for early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and preventive care. Patient education on diet, exercise, and medication, along with timely use of phosphate binders, vitamin D therapy, and dialysis, helps reduce complications. Greater awareness ensures improved treatment outcomes and quality of life in CKD

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to filter waste from the body. Awareness is important because CKD often develops silently, showing no symptoms until advanced stages. Early signs may include swelling in the feet, fatigue, and changes in urination. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, blood pressure, and kidney function tests can help with early detection. Educating diabetic patients about the importance of lifestyle control, medication adherence, and routine check-ups can prevent CKD progression and improve overall health.

Hypertension is a major cause and consequence of kidney disease. High blood pressure damages the small blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to filter waste effectively. Over time, this can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or worsen existing kidney problems. People with kidney disease are also more prone to uncontrolled hypertension, creating a harmful cycle. Awareness is crucial to break this link through early detection, regular blood pressure checks, and kidney function tests. Adopting a low-salt diet, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking, exercising, and adhering to prescribed medications can protect both blood pressure and kidney health.

Hereditary renal diseases are genetic kidney disorders that can pass from parents to children. Common examples are Polycystic Kidney Disease and Alport Syndrome. These conditions may cause high blood pressure, swelling, blood in urine, and gradual kidney failure. Awareness is important because early detection through family history, genetic testing, urine tests, and scans can help slow down progression. People with a family history of kidney problems should undergo regular check-ups. Healthy lifestyle practices, avoiding smoking, reducing salt intake, and controlling blood pressure are vital. Educating families about risks, available treatments like dialysis and transplantation, and the value of genetic counseling helps prevent complications and improves quality of life.

A urine analysis is an important tool for assessing kidney health. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, and changes in urine can signal problems. Through physical, chemical, and microscopic examination, urinalysis can detect protein, blood, crystals, or abnormal cells that may indicate kidney disease, infection, or stones. The presence of protein (proteinuria) often suggests early kidney damage, while blood in urine may point to stones or serious disorders. Since kidney disease often develops silently, regular urine analysis helps in early detection, monitoring, and prevention. Awareness ensures timely medical care and protection of kidney function.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common problem that can affect dialysis patients and may lead to serious health complications if not recognized early. Since dialysis patients already have weak immunity and reduced kidney function, they are at higher risk of infection. Good personal hygiene, proper hand washing, wearing clean clothes, drinking safe water, and following medical advice strictly are very important to prevent UTI. Patients should promptly report symptoms such as burning urination, fever, foul-smelling urine, or lower abdominal pain. Early detection, timely treatment, and strict infection control practices can save lives and improve dialysis outcomes.

AKI is a sudden decline in kidney function, often triggered by illness, dehydration, infection, or certain medications. It can affect anyone but is more common in hospitalized patients, especially the elderly and those with preexisting conditions. Recognizing symptomssuch as reduced urine output, fatigue, or swelling is vital. Increased awareness among healthcare professionals and the public can lead to prompt intervention, reducing the risk of long-term damage or death. Education, early screening, and proper hydration are key strategies to prevent AKI and improve patient outcomes.

Alcohol and smoking silently damage the kidneys over time. Drinking too much alcohol dehydrates the body and raises blood pressure, putting extra strain on the kidneys. It also increases the risk of liver disease, which further burdens kidney function. Smoking narrows blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the kidneys, and speeds up kidney damage in people with diabetes or high blood pressure. Both habits also raise the risk of cancer in the urinary tract. Protect your kidneys by saying no to alcohol and smoking. Choosing a clean lifestyle keeps your kidneys strong, your body healthy, and your life longer.

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys, often causing severe pain, blood in urine, nausea, or frequent urination. They develop due to dehydration, high salt or protein diet, obesity, or family history. Small stones may pass naturally, while larger ones may need medical treatment like lithotripsy or surgery. Drinking plenty of water, reducing salt, limiting oxalate-rich foods (like spinach, nuts, tea), and maintaining a balanced diet help prevent stones. Early awareness, recognizing symptoms, and seeking timely medical advice are crucial to avoid complications and protect kidney health. Prevention is better than treatment.

Kidneys are delicate organs that filter waste and keep the body in balance. Certain medicines, painkillers, antibiotics, and even herbal drugs can harm the kidneys if taken without proper guidance — this is called nephrotoxicity. Overuse or wrong use slowly damages kidney cells, leading to kidney failure. Alcohol, smoking, and chemical exposures also worsen the risk. To protect kidney health, never self-medicate, always follow doctor’s advice, and go for regular checkups if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or long-term medication use. Safe habits today prevent kidney damage tomorrow. Protect your kidneys — protect your life.

Menopause is a natural and significant stage in a woman's life that marks the permanent end of menstrual cycles, defined as 12 consecutive months without a period. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average age being around 51. The transition leading up to menopause is called perimenopause, which can begin several years earlier and is when most symptoms start due to fluctuating hormone levels. The primary cause of menopause and its associated changes is the decline in the production of reproductive hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, by the ovaries. Common Changes and Symptoms: Menopause affects many parts of the body and well-being, though the experience is highly individual. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may last for several years.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is more intense and longer-lasting than the common “baby blues,” which typically disappear within two weeks.

A healthy diet and good nutrition are fundamental for a child's growth, development, energy, and long-term health. The core principle is to provide a variety of foods from all major food groups while limiting foods high in added sugar, saturated fat, and salt. Calcium and Vitamin D: Essential for building strong bones and teeth. Sources: Dairy products, fortified milk/cereals, and sunlight (for Vitamin D). Iron: Necessary for transporting oxygen in the blood and supporting brain development. Sources: Lean red meat, fortified breakfast cereals, beans, lentils, and dark green leafy vegetables. (Vitamin C aids in the absorption of plant-based iron). Fiber: Important for digestive health and preventing constipation. Sources: Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, and lentils. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Critical for brain and eye development. Sources: Fatty fish (salmon, tuna), walnuts, flaxseeds, and fortified foods.

The awareness of proper sleeping positions is crucial because your posture during sleep directly affects your spinal alignment, breathing, circulation, and the presence of aches and pains, all of which impact the quality and restorative nature of your rest. Side sleeping - Most Common & Recommended: Excellent for reducing snoring and symptoms of sleep apnea as it keeps airways open. Often recommended for pregnancy (especially the left side) as it improves circulation and reduces pressure on the liver. Can help reduce acid reflux (left side is preferred). Back sleeping - Best for Spinal Alignment: When supported correctly, it keeps the head, neck, and spine in a neutral position, distributing weight evenly. Good for reducing acid reflux when the head is slightly elevated.

Regular eyesight check-ups are essential for maintaining vision and detecting serious diseases early, often before you notice any symptoms. A comprehensive eye exam is not just about checking your prescription; it's a vital part of your overall health care. Many serious eye conditions have no obvious symptoms in their early, most treatable stages. An eye doctor can detect them during a routine exam: Glaucoma: Often called the "silent thief of sight," it damages the optic nerve, usually due to high fluid pressure inside the eye. Early treatment is key to preventing permanent vision loss. Cataracts: Clouding of the eye's lens. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Deterioration of the central part of the retina. Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to the blood vessels in the retina caused by diabetes.

The period of pregnancy requires comprehensive physical and mental support for the expectant mother (and often the partner) to ensure a healthy outcome for both mother and baby. This support helps manage the significant hormonal, emotional, and physical changes that occur. Physical support focuses on promoting the mother's health, managing discomfort, and preparing the body for childbirth - Healthcare and Nutrition. Regular Prenatal Care: Attending all scheduled check-ups with a midwife or obstetrician is non-negotiable. These visits monitor the health of both mother and baby and allow for the early detection and management of complications. Mental support is crucial for dealing with the hormonal shifts, anxiety, mood swings, and general stress associated with preparing for parenthood - Open Communication and Validation. Listen Without Judgment: Recognize that mood swings, anxiety, and periods of sadness are normal due to fluctuating hormones and life changes. The most important support is simply listening and validating her feelings

Hormonal mood swings are intense, rapid, and often unpredictable changes in emotional state caused by fluctuations in the body's hormones. These shifts are a normal biological response, particularly common in women due to the cyclical nature of reproductive hormones, but they can be managed effectively with awareness and lifestyle adjustments. Hormones act as chemical messengers that affect mood centers in the brain, like the production and reception of neurotransmitters such as serotonin (the "feel-good" chemical). Lifestyle Adjustments. Track Your Cycle: Use an app or journal to record your mood, energy, and symptoms. Awareness helps you prepare for the times when you know your mood will be more volatile.  Regular Exercise: Engaging in 30 minutes of moderate activity most days helps release mood-boosting endorphins and can improve sleep. Mindful Diet: Eat small, frequent meals to stabilize blood sugar (avoiding mood dips). Limit caffeine, alcohol, and high-sugar, processed foods, especially during high-symptom phases. Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep. Poor sleep magnifies stress and hormonal disruption

The relationship between diet and fertility is significant for both men and women, as nutrition impacts hormonal balance, egg and sperm quality, and overall reproductive health. Adopting a healthy dietary pattern, often resembling the Mediterranean diet, can substantially improve the chances of conception. 1. Optimize Carbohydrates: Focus on Complex Carbs: Choose whole grains (quinoa, oats, whole wheat) and low-glycemic index foods (fruits, vegetables, beans). These digest slowly, leading to stable blood sugar and insulin levels, which is crucial for healthy ovulation. Limit Refined Carbs and Sugar: Avoid white bread, sugary drinks, sweets, and highly processed foods. High intake is linked to insulin resistance and can disrupt the hormonal signals needed for ovulation. 2. Choose Healthy Fats: Prioritize Unsaturated Fats: Include monounsaturated (avocado, olive oil, nuts) and polyunsaturated fats (flaxseeds, walnuts). These are essential for hormone production and reducing inflammation. Boost Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fatty fish (salmon, sardines) and walnuts, Omega-3s improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, and enhance egg quality in women and sperm motility in men. Avoid Trans Fats: Found in many processed, fried, and fast foods. High intake of trans fats is strongly linked to ovulatory infertility in women and poorer sperm quality in men.

The contraceptive pill, when used correctly, is a highly effective method of preventing pregnancy and offers several non-contraceptive health benefits, but it also carries potential side effects and health risks. Advantages: Highly Effective: It is up to 99.9% effective in preventing pregnancy when taken correctly (at the same time every day). In typical use, accounting for missed pills, effectiveness is closer to 91%. Convenience: It allows for sexual spontaneity since no action is required at the time of intercourse. Rapid Reversibility: Fertility usually returns quickly after stopping the pill, making it a good option for those who plan to try for pregnancy soon.

Disadvantages: Requires Daily Adherence: It must be taken at the same time every day to maintain high effectiveness, making it reliant on user discipline. No STI Protection: The pill does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Condoms must be used for STI protection. Drug Interactions: Effectiveness can be reduced by certain medications, such as some antibiotics and anti-seizure drugs.

Regular pregnancy check-ups, also known as prenatal care or antenatal care, are crucial for ensuring the health and safety of both the expectant mother and the developing baby. Early and consistent care significantly reduces the risk of complications. Importance of Regular Prenatal Check-ups. The primary role of these visits is to monitor the pregnancy, provide education, and intervene early if any problems arise. Early Detection and Management: Regular checks help identify potential complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy), anemia, or infections early, allowing for timely treatment and better outcomes. Fetal Health Monitoring: Providers use tests and exams (like ultrasounds) to monitor the baby's growth, development, heartbeat, and position, ensuring the fetus is thriving. Risk Reduction: Prenatal care guides expectant mothers on healthy habits, such as proper nutrition, safe exercise, and the avoidance of harmful substances (like alcohol and tobacco), which reduces the risk of problems like preterm birth or low birth weight. Preventive Interventions: Key preventive measures, such as Rh factor management and administering essential vaccinations (like the Tdap vaccine to protect against whooping cough), are performed during these visits. Education and Support: Visits are a dedicated time for parents to ask questions, receive counseling on labor, delivery, breastfeeding, and postpartum care, and discuss any mental or emotional health concerns.

Saveetha College of Allied Health Sciences students conducted an awareness camp in  kondancherry on 05.11.2025 to educate the public about the causes, symptoms, prevention, and control of this growing lifestyle disease. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that occurs when the body cannot properly use or produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. It is becoming more common in both urban

and rural areas due to unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, stress, and obesity.

Common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, tiredness, blurred vision, and delayed wound healing.  Preventive measures include maintaining a balanced diet rich in vegetables, greens, and whole grains while reducing the intake of sugar and oily food. Regular walking or exercise for at least 30 minutes a day helps the body use insulin effectively. Avoiding alcohol and smoking, drinking adequate water, and having meals at regular timings are also essential steps in preventing diabetes.

By promoting awareness and understanding, we can build a healthier, stronger, and disease-free society for future generations.

Saveetha college of Allied health sciences students conducted an awareness camp on cancer screening in kondanjeri village on 05.11.25. Early detection of cancer greatly increases the chances for successful treatment. The 2 components of early detection of cancer are early diagnosis (or downstaging) and screening. Early diagnosis focuses on detecting symptomatic patients as early as possible, while screening consists of testing

healthy individuals to identify those having cancers before any symptoms appear.Early diagnosis programmes aim at reducing the proportion of patients who are diagnosed at a late stage. They have 2 main components.Increased awareness of first signs of cancer, among physicians, nurses and other health care providers as well as among the general public; and Improved accessibility and affordability of diagnosis and treatment services, and improved referral from first to secondary and tertiary levels of care.Early diagnosis is particularly relevant to cancers of the breast, cervix, mouth,

larynx, colon and rectum, and skin. Screening refers to the use of simple tests across a healthy population to identify those individuals who have a disease, but do not yet have symptoms. Examples include breast cancer screening using mammography or clinical breast exam, and cervical cancer screening using pap smears, human

papillomavirus test or visual inspection with acetic acid. Screening programmes should be

undertaken only when their effectiveness has been demonstrated, when resources (personnel, equipment, etc.) are sufficient to cover nearly all of the target group, when facilities exist for confirming diagnoses and for treatment and follow-up of those with abnormal results, and when prevalence of the disease is high enough to justify the effort and costs of screening.
