Weight Issue -Addressing Obesity

Image
In a world where convenience often trumps conscious choices, the prevalence of obesity has reached alarming levels. Obesity is a complex condition characterized by excessive body fat, posing serious health risks. To gauge one's weight status, the   Body Mass Index (BMI)   is commonly used, calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. Another crucial metric in assessing obesity is the  Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) , which measures the distribution of fat in the body. When WHR and BMI exceed certain thresholds, the condition is classified as morbid obesity, indicating severe health implications. India, once known for its diverse culinary heritage, is now grappling with a rising obesity epidemic. Recent statistics reveal a significant increase in obesity rates, affecting millions. This surge in weight-related concerns is a harbinger of various health issues, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders. clic

Endometriosis: A Closer Look at Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options Endometriosis  is a complex and often misunderstood medical condition affecting women of reproductive age.

The two key hormonal markers used in the diagnosis are Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH). Elevated FSH levels and decreased AMH levels are indic

We usually measure the size of the ovary in 3 dimensions and calculate volume on ultrasound by 0.523*length*width*depth. There are two ovaries- Right and Left. Typically the two ovaries alternately release Egg and usually one Egg is released per month. If the Egg is not fertilized, then the egg becomes atretic after 24 hours.
