Tata 1mg Labs Commits Free Anemia Screeningsfor 10,000 Women and Children

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Initiative launched on the occasion of JRD Tata’s birth anniversary

July 29, 2023 – Each year, on the occasion of JRD Tata’s birth anniversary, Tata Group companies come together to celebrate the legacy of the visionary leader. This year, Tata 1mg Labs is launching a crucial campaign to raise Anemia awareness in India and offer vital health support to those in need. As a tribute to JRD Tata’s unwavering commitment to a healthier nation, they will conduct 10,000 free Anemia tests for women and children, ensuring a better and healthier future for them.
Anemia, a condition characterized by low hemoglobin levels, primarily caused by iron deficiency, poses a significant health challenge, leading to chronic weakness and fatigue. In India, a staggering 57% of women aged 15-49 years are anemic, forming a substantial proportion of the global Anemia-affected population. An alarming contributing factor to this issue is the lack of visibility of Anemia, especially among females.
The Tata 1mg Labs Anemia Screening Campaign aims to build awareness about timely testing by conducting 10,000 free tests for women and children residing in underprivileged areas. The initiative will focus on early detection and timely medical intervention to combat Anemia’s detrimental effects on affected patients.
To ensure the success and reach of this life-transforming campaign, Tata 1mg Labs will be joining hands with multiple NGOs. Through these partnerships, the Anemia screening tests will be conducted via a series of camps held over the next two quarters across multiple cities, bringing essential healthcare services closer to those in need.
Gaurav Agarwal, Co-Founder, Tata 1mg, expressed his thoughts about the campaign, stating, “Anemia has emerged as a critical health concern for our nation. The Anemia rate among women and children in India surpasses the global average. By conducting these screening tests for the more vulnerable population and providing them with holistic treatment and prevention, we hope to make a tangible impact on the lives of 10,000 people.”
The Tata 1mg Labs Anemia Awareness Campaign is a heartfelt tribute to the values cherished by JRD Tata, and it epitomizes the group’s commitment to giving back to society. Through this initiative, Tata 1mg Labs aims to contribute to a healthier nation, fulfilling its brand promise of making healthcare accessible, affordable and understandable, with utmost dedication and care.

Varicose Veins: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)
Dr A Arun Kumar, Senior Specialist – Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Aster RV Hospital

Varicose veins are a common condition that affects the veins, usually in the legs, causing them to become enlarged, twisted, and bulging. They occur when the valves within the veins fail to function properly, leading to blood pooling and increased pressure within the affected veins.
While varicose veins are often considered a cosmetic concern, they can also cause discomfort, pain, and other complications. Fortunately, various treatment options are available to manage and treat varicose veins effectively.
Causes of Varicose Veins
Age and Genetics
As we age, the natural wear and tear on vein valves can lead to their dysfunction. Additionally, a family history of varicose veins increases the likelihood of developing this condition.

Prolonged Standing or Sitting
Occupations that require long periods of standing or sitting can put additional pressure on the veins, hindering blood flow and increasing the risk of varicose veins.

Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy and menopause can weaken vein walls and valves, making women more susceptible to varicose veins.

Obesity
Excess weight puts added pressure on the veins, impairing their ability to transport blood efficiently and potentially leading to the development of varicose veins.
When is procedure for Varicose Vein required?
Treatment for varicose veins is typically recommended when the symptoms and complications associated with them become bothersome or when they significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. Some common indications for varicose vein procedures include:
Pain and Discomfort
When varicose veins cause persistent pain, throbbing, aching, or cramping in the legs, treatment may be advised to alleviate these symptoms.

Swelling and Inflammation
Varicose veins can lead to swelling, inflammation, and a feeling of heaviness in the affected leg. Treatment may be considered to reduce these symptoms.
Skin Changes
Skin discoloration, rashes, dryness, and itchiness around the varicose veins can indicate the need for treatment to prevent further skin complications.

Ulcers and Bleeding
In rare cases, varicose veins can develop ulcers or skin sores, which are often difficult to heal. Additionally, if the veins are prone to bleeding, medical intervention may be required.

Treatment options for Varicose Veins
Several treatment options are available for varicose veins, depending on the severity and specific needs of the patient. These procedures aim to relieve symptoms, improve appearance, and prevent complications. Here are some commonly used treatments:
Lifestyle Changes
Simple lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding prolonged periods of standing or sitting, and elevating the legs can alleviate symptoms and prevent further progression.

Compression Stockings
Wearing compression stockings provides external pressure that helps improve blood circulation and reduces discomfort associated with varicose veins.

Endo-venous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
EVLA is a minimally invasive treatment that uses laser energy to heat and seal off the affected vein. It is effective for larger varicose veins can be performed under local anesthesia.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Similar to EVLA, RFA involves using heat energy to close off the damaged vein. A catheter with a radiofrequency device is inserted into the vein to achieve this.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy
This surgical procedure involves making tiny incisions over the varicose veins and removing them through these small cuts. Ambulatory phlebectomy is suitable for larger varicose veins close to the surface of the skin.

Sclerotherapy
This procedure involves injecting a solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to close and eventually fade away. Sclerotherapy is commonly used for smaller varicose veins and spider veins.

Remember, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding prolonged periods of inactivity, can play a significant role in preventing or managing varicose veins. Taking proactive steps to care for your vascular health can go a long way in ensuring your overall well-being and quality of life
