आपके द्वारा अधिकतर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्नों के उत्तर: डाॅक्टर शोभा गुप्ता

प्रश्न 1- मेरी उम्र 25 वर्ष है मुझे पीरिएड में असहनीय दर्द होता है। क्या दर्द निवारक खानी चाहिए।

उत्तर - दर्द निवारक दवाएं सीधे किडनी पर प्रभाव डालती हैं जो कि सही नहीं है। दरहसल आजकल की बदलती जीवनशैली और खानपान में बदलाव की वजह से पीरियड्स के दिनों में बहुत अधिक दर्द की समस्या होना बेहद आम बात हो गयी है। संतुलित आहार और व्यायाम की कमी के चलते शरीर में सहन करने की शक्ति नहीं रहती है, जिससे दर्द का अनुभव ज्यादा होता है, इसके साथ-साथ कई बार पीरियट्स के दौरान फ्लो ठीक प्रकार से नहीं हो पाता है, जिस कारण महिलाओं को अधिक दर्द होता है।

वैसे तो हमे रोज व्यायाम करना चाहिए लेकिन इन दिनों में महिलाएं दर्द के चलते व्यायाम नहीं करती हैं। यह बिल्कुल गलत है। रक्त प्रवाह को अच्छा रखने के लिए और दर्द को दूर रखने के लिए व्यायाम जरूर करना चाहिए। कई बार हार्मोन की समस्या से भी ऐसी दिक्कतें आती हैं। अगर लगातार दर्द बना रहता है तो बिना देर

इनफर्टिलिटी भी दे सकता है थायराॅयड

संतान का सुख हर कोई लेना चाहता है। कभी-कभी कुछ कारणों से व लापरवाहियों के चलते छोटी सी समस्यांए बडा रूप धारण कर लेती हैं। जैसे कि थायराॅयड होने पर सामान्यतः दिमाग में दो ही बातें आती है कि इस बीमारी से ग्रस्त आदमी  या मोटा होता है या पतला, लेकिन थायराइड का संबंध इनफर्टिलिटी से भी होता है। इस बिमारी से ग्रसित होने की प्रवृत्ति महिलाओं  में पुरूषों से चार गुना अधिक होती है। चिकित्सकों का मानना है, कि इस बीमारी को नजरअंदाज करना सही नहीं है। समय रहते इसके इलाज का इंतजाम होना चाहिए, हालांकि आज की जीवन शैली में थाइराइड की बीमारी काॅमन है।

ऐसा लगता है कि खत्म हुई दुनिया:- 29 वर्षीय पायल मेहरा एक काम काजी महिला है। इस छोटी सी  उम्र में जब उन्हें पता चला कि वह गर्भधारण नहीं कर सकती, तो उन्हें लगा कि उनकी दुनिया खत्म हो गई है। उन्हें थायरायड की शिकायत थी, लेकिन इसे उन्होनें त्ववजो नही दी। एक साल बाद  उन्होनें जब  टीसीएच ब्लड टेस्ट कराया,  तो वह  हाइपोथायराॅयडिज्म की बीमारी से ग्रस्त थी,  इससे वह गर्भधारण नहीं कर पा रही थी। मदर्स लैप आईवीएफ सेंटर की आईवीएफ विशेषज्ञ डा शोभा गुप्ता बताती है कि  पायल जैसे उनके पास कई मरीज आते है जो बाद में लापरहवाही के वजह से पछताते है। वह कहती है कि 80 फीसदी स्टैडर्ड थायराॅयड ब्लड टेस्ट भी लो ओवेरियन टिश्यू का स्तर बताने में सफल नहीं होते है। ऐसे में महिलाओं और युवतियों को अनुभवी और योग्य फिलिशियन के पास जाना चाहिए, जिसे इस बात की जानकारी हो कि स्टैडर्ड टेस्ट भी अक्सर लो ओवेरियन थयराॅयड के स्तर को नहीं जांच पाते।
