Just like every woman has a fixed maid, a vegetable and fruit vendor, a grocer, a butcher, and a tailor who help make her life smooth, just so she also needs a team of doctors who help maintain her health.
From a little babe to a confused teen, from a beautiful young lady to an overstressed bride, from a to-be mom to a menopausal grandma, a woman’s body is forever changing – on the inside and out. To help your body cope with these intrinsic nuances of womanhood, every woman should make it a point to consult the following seven doctors at various stages in her life:
A general physician is a family doctor. He/She is usually the primary care provider and the first point of contact in case of a health-related upheaval. He knows your medical history and can immediately figure out if something doesn’t quite seem right.
A gynaecologist specialises in treating problems arising in the female reproductive organs and is the first doctor to be approached if you face premenstrual, menstrual or other issues, which are mostly related to hormonal changes. Gynaecologists are also the go-to doctors during the menopausal age and if there’s something askew with your organs. This is one specialist who will be your constant healthcare companion once you hit puberty till forever after.
Most gynaecologists are also obstetricians and can assist you during pregnancy. However, if your gynaecologist is not an obstetrician, then you will need one to guide you through the stages of pregnancy. An obstetrician, a pregnancy and childbirth specialist, monitors both fetal growth and progress in pregnancy and assists during labour and delivery.
The abundance of readily available cosmetics along with the favoured trial-and-error method of skincare turns out to have hazardous effects on your skin. You now need a real specialist (not the shopping mall sales personnel) to tell you what suits your skin and what doesn’t. A dermatologist is a skin specialist who can also treat hair and nail problems. Everything from acne to dark spots and melanoma to age-related wrinkles is under their domain, making them the most critical asset in your make-up kit.
An ophthalmologist is an eye specialist who deals with eye issues ranging from regular vision care to complex eye surgeries and everything in between. Whether it be for an annual eye check-up, prescription lens or corrective eye surgeries, a visit to an ophthalmologist at least once a year is a must!
Your smile is the first thing people notice about you, and a dentist is a prerequisite to having a good one! Besides, recent studies have shown a connection between oral and overall health. Consulting a dentist for a dental cleaning and oral checks at least once every six months will ensure that your radiant smile exudes charm forever.
Often, women have faced flailing bone density issues. Beyond menopause, osteoporosis becomes a serious threat. Meeting with a bone specialist (orthopedist) helps bridge these gaps making old age more enjoyable than a painful chore.
While you may not need a specialist during your younger years, as you get older the likelihood of needing one increases. Breast care specialists are doctors who have undergone a fellowship or training in breast care, including cancerous and non-cancerous tumours. Although your general physician or family doctor may discover any lumps or issues in your breasts during a routine check, you may also detect the same yourself. In the latter case, you’ll want to meet with a medical oncologist, a breast surgeon, a gynaecologist or a surgical oncologist. While the type of doctor isn’t fixed, it is still good for women to have a breast specialist at the ready when they need one.
No matter how fit you feel, every woman should make and keep these appointments. This will lead to the early detection of any health issue, thus helping you deal with it better.
In the journey of womanhood, a dedicated team of doctors plays a vital role. From the general physician to the gynaecologist, dermatologist and more, each specialist contributes to maintaining optimal health at every stage. Regular check-ups with these experts ensure early detection and effective management of any health issues. Prioritizing these appointments empowers women to navigate life with vitality and confidence, safeguarding their well-being for the future.

Have you been working from your home for the last few days? Then you must be feeling relieved because you will not contract the dangerous coronavirus disease, and you will not pass it on to any of your loved ones. By staying at home, you are keeping your family and yourself safe from the clutches of coronavirus.
But not everyone is as lucky as we are. Not everyone can carry out their duties from the safety of their homes. Who are we talking about?
We are referring to those thousands of brave men and women who are going out to work every day despite the raging pandemic because their services are essential and cannot be done from home.
We are talking about-
Whom do you go to when you notice the signs of illness? Whom do you turn to when you think you might have contracted coronavirus? A doctor. And who tends to sick and ailing people and makes sure that their medicines are administered? Nurses.
There is no way doctors and nurses can take a break amidst the coronavirus outbreak. If they did, who would protect us from this virus? To keep us safe, they are risking their lives every day.
How would we commute if not for the bus drivers, conductors and train motormen? Can they stay at home to avoid coronavirus? No! Otherwise, India would come to a standstill.
Who brings medicines and other essentials to your doorstep when you stay at home to protect yourself? The delivery boys. On a similar note, can you imagine what would happen if the cleaners did not do their job and stayed at home? Our streets would be filled with filth and make our cities breeding grounds for more harmful viruses and bacteria.
The point is that each of these people is putting our needs before his/her safety. They are working tirelessly so that coronavirus does not disrupt our lives. They are the true heroes in these uncertain and desperate times.
What can we do to show gratitude for everything they are doing for us? Simply stay indoors and implement social distancing. That way you minimize their risk of contracting coronavirus and spreading it too! It is our turn to keep our heroes safe.
Let’s be kind and applaud every effort that is being done by those on the field, battling out this pandemic and helping us all stay safe.
As announced by PM Modi, the Janta Curfew on 22nd March was a huge success! We all showed outstanding support by staying indoors. We showed immense respect to all our heroes by going out to our balconies at 5 PM and showed our gratitude by clapping, ringing a bell and whistling to commemorate their efforts. But the war is still on. Let’s do our bit by staying at home as much as possible – it is the only way we can stop COVID – 19 from spreading!

Whether you are suffering from a stomach cancer, Alzheimer’s or arthritis ”¦ fictional doctors would have just one cure for you! A tight jaadu ki jhapi is the medicine that cures one and all! What can a crime don turned doc offer more than a few hearty laughs though? It’s all cool as long as your health ain’t in his hands!
2) Doctor Who
Source
He would take you to the moon and back in his TARDIS and maybe let you accompany him for an adventure or two. There just is no guarantee that you would get a pill to pop in for your sore throat though”¦so good luck with that!
3) Dr. Watson
If medicines aren’t what you are looking for, you probably have found what you are looking for. For he can narrate the most thrilling stories, is a great assistant detective with sleuth skills ranging in the negatives, and a perfect gentleman. The doctor part..we aren’t very sure of though, sorry.
4) Dr. Nefario
He can build all the gadgets you ask him to, or rather what he thinks you asked him to. ”Fart guns” and ”Cookie Robots” are his personal favourites. He can whoop up a minion for you and assist you in stealing the moon. Unless you want yourself mutated into a weapon used for mass destruction, there isn’t much he can do for you to help your physical condition!
5) Dr. Pipt
Source
He isn’t particularly famous for being the best doctor or magician alive, and neither can he rightly estimate the havoc his magic recipes can cause. Though you might give him the suspicious look, Jack pumpkinhead, Sawhorse, the Gump and the Glass cat would support him till the end. It is a relief though that Ozma deprived him of his powers!
6) Dr. Salunkhe
Wouldn’t it be the last thing on your wish list that he has to examine your body, owing to the fact that he has probably never had to deal with a patient that was actually alive? If you do happen to find yourself being examined by him..pinch yourself to check if you are still alive.
7) Dr. Dang
Withering in pain and discomfort would be a better option than having to deal with fictional doctors is what we would say”¦!
Thank god these doctors can’t come out of the screens and start treating patients! What a disaster that would be!
