We are proud to share that Dr. Vinoad Bharrati, Director and Consultant Gynaecologist at Rising Medicare Hospital & Elite Momz, Pune, has been featured in Hindustan Times Lifestyle for his expert contribution to women’s monsoon health.

I am honored to be featured in Hindustan Times, in an article published on 5th August 2025, where I shared my guidance on the five common gynaecological infections that tend to increase during the monsoon season. In this feature, I discussed how humid weather makes women more prone to fungal, bacterial, and urinary tract infections, the early warning signs they should never ignore, and the essential preventive measures every woman must follow to stay healthy and protected during the rainy season.

Here are the key insights I provided:

• The monsoon’s humidity creates an environment where fungal, bacterial, and urinary tract infections become more common.
• Women should watch out for early symptoms such as curdy white or foul-smelling discharge, excessive itching, or burning sensation during urination.
• Lower abdominal pain or discomfort may also indicate a developing infection.
• I encourage women to adopt preventive habits like wearing cotton innerwear, changing clothes when wet, and choosing loose, breathable garments.
• Maintaining intimate hygiene is crucial—avoid perfumed soaps or sprays in sensitive areas and always clean public toilet surfaces before use.
• If any symptoms persist, immediate medical consultation is essential to prevent complications.
