Think About Your Health

Embrace your body’s changes at the different moments in your life. Whether you are newly-wed, trying for a baby, juggling the demands of work, or caring for the needs of the family, there are matters pertaining to sexual health and fertility you shouldn’t ignore.

Don’t let conditions such as ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids disrupt your menstruation cycle and cause distress. Hormonal imbalances may occasionally surface, but it shouldn’t prevent you from being your best. Similarly, urinary tract infections and incontinence, possible urogynaecological issues that can crop up with age, can be managed well when treated early.

Cancer may be a top cause of death in Singapore, but you can take active steps to beat it, along with early detection and treatment. This is especially so for women-specific cancers such as ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, and breast cancer.

Let us show you how cancer can be prevented with a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Early detection plays a key role in diagnosis and treatment, so do make it a point to squeeze in time for yourself, and to go for regular health screenings and tests such as a Pap smear and mammogram.

Did you know that what we eat, and how well we eat, can affect how we feel about our bodies? There will be occasions when stress from work and worrying about our loved ones can affect our appetites and make us skip meals, but take care to keep digestive symptoms such as bloating and constipation at bay.

Minor symptoms, if left untreated, may progress to more serious conditions over time. This is why procedures such as a gastroscopy and colonoscopy are important means for our specialists to make an accurate diagnosis and advise treatment.

Ensuring a healthy digestive system is important. Don’t let common conditions such as gastritis and irritable bowel syndrome prevent you from enjoying your favourite meals.

It’s natural to want to seize the day and do it all. But in the course of work and play, look out for any unusual aches or pain in your joints. Listening to our bodies helps us prevent injuries, while an early diagnosis and treatment of injuries in our bones and joints can help reduce any downtime. That way, you can return to your usual activities more quickly, and spring right back to doing what you love.
