CT scan is a medical imaging technology that combines X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱?
🔻During emergencies
🔻Checking for internal bleeding or organ damage
🔻Seeing complex fractures or bone tumours
🔻Detecting tumours

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀:
🔻Very fast imaging (usually 5–10 minutes).
🔻Excellent for emergencies and trauma (head injury, internal bleeding, fractures).
🔻Widely available and less expensive than an MRI.
🔻Unlike MRIs, CT scans can be performed on patients with pacemakers or metal implants.

𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗖𝗧 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻:
🔻Exposure to a small amount of radiation can slightly increase the lifetime risk of cancer.
🔻If contrast dye is used, there is a risk of allergy or kidney problems

Stay still during the scan for clear images.

You may have a friend or family member attend with you, but they will be asked to stay in the waiting area while you have your procedure.

(MRI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an effective imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radiofrequency to produce 3D images and helps doctors examine your organs, tissues and bones in a non-invasive and safe way without any radiation.

𝗠𝗥𝗜 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱:
Physicians prescribe when they have to evaluate soft tissue, brain, breast, blood vessels, spinal, joint or organ issues, etc.

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
🔹Patient is asked to wear a hospital gown and in some cases, fast for 4+ hours.
🔹Lie still to prevent motion artefacts and ensure clear images.
🔹Ask for earplugs/headphones for noise, and keep call button close by

𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
MRI scan usually takes 30-20 minutes in addition to preparation time. Some people may feel claustrophobic. Keep your eyes closed, and think of pleasant things.

A burning sensation, frequent urge to urinate, lower abdominal discomfort—many of us dismiss these as minor or temporary. But what if these are signs of a 𝗨𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗨𝗧𝗜) that can worsen if ignored

UTIs are extremely common, especially among women, working professionals, the elderly, and even children. Factors like 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀, 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗵𝘆𝗴𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 silently increase the risk.

This session will help you understand:
🔹Early symptoms people often ignore—and when to act
🔹Who is at risk and why UTIs occur so frequently
🔹When a UTI becomes serious and needs urgent care
🔹Treatment options, myths around antibiotics, and home remedies
🔹Simple daily habits to prevent recurring infections

If you are someone who often delays bathroom breaks, has a busy routine, or ignores “small” symptoms—this session is especially relevant for you.

Fertility is the ability to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. It relies on a healthy reproductive system, where each menstrual cycle releases an egg from the ovaries for s***m to fertilise in the fallopian tubes.

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 that can have an impact on female fertility include:
🔹Blocked fallopian tubes
🔹Uterus problems (e.g., fibroids)
🔹Ovulation disorders
🔹Hormone imbalances

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘀 𝗜𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱?
Your doctor will take a detailed medical history and a pelvic ultrasound to identify any visible issues. There are blood tests and other tests to check key hormones.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects women of reproductive age.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝?
Your healthcare provider will discuss symptoms, medications and any other medical conditions and may go through a pelvic exam, blood tests, and
Ultrasound.

𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭:
