Women Reproductive Health Research and Resource Center

Increase in medical misguidance with medication, especially oral administration of drugs (like glycogen, steroids and hormone inducing medicine) to adolescent girls in regulating the menstrual cycle(PCOD, myoma, endometriosis, fibroids) affects their reproductive health and function. And as women are carriers of progeny, it will affect the next generation as well. In our field experience, out of 100 women, 48% are anaemic, 35% have irregular periods, and 17% of adolescents have bone pain along with abnormal hair growth on the face and white discharge problems.

Nowadays, most of the women are advised to opt for a caesarian delivery. Generally, post the operation, women suffer from the weakening of their digestive systems, and accumulation of muscles in the stomach. The spinal injection during delivery time may cause a lot of problems in the future, such as back pain and sciatic pain as well as spinal pain.

During the early stages of the premenopausal period, the hormonal changes trigger a lot of stress, which in turn leads to morphological changes that interfere with the menopausal process. A lot of medical professionals take advantage of these women in distress and remove their organs without their knowledge. Modern medicine does not bring a curative solution to the problem. The system is capitalising on the woes of women.

Women reproductive problems are on the increase, proportionally, due to physical and psychological stress, which leads to cancer. Due to the lack of proper nutrition and hygiene, a lot of complications arise which may even lead to cancer.

Since 2016, we have been conducting health camps in slum areas, villages, schools, colleges, and women self-empowerment groups.

We are working towards creating awareness about the reproductive system of women and its functions through role plays, exhibition and camps.

We are focusing on:

- Encourage hygienic practices in general, and reproductive hygiene in particular, for paving a healthy life.

- Impart knowledge on the cost-effective ways through food practice and alternative medicines.

- Focus on the importance of preserving women’s reproductive health.

- Conduct health camps to screen, detect, prevent the reproductive problems of women.

- Suggest solutions for the reproductive problems from the alternative systems of medicine without side-effects.

11,145 women have benefitted from our project across various districts, including Madurai. Through this field experience, we have come to realize that women’s lack of awareness about their own health is creating a lot of problems for them.

After a review of the camp, we have found that all women are slowly learning to take care of themselves and are becoming more energetic by the day.
