Winter brings unique health challenges for women. KRIMS Hospitals’ Gynaecology Department often observes increased menstrual discomfort, PCOS symptoms, hormonal fluctuations, and infections during colder months.

Reduced sunlight affects mood-regulating hormones, leading to fatigue or irritability. Cold weather also lowers physical activity levels, which may worsen PCOS symptoms, weight gain, and menstrual irregularities. Dehydration and tight winter clothing increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and vaginal infections.

To maintain good health, women should stay hydrated even when thirst is reduced. Warm water, healthy soups, and herbal teas support better metabolism and hormonal balance. A diet rich in leafy greens, iron, calcium, whole grains, and seasonal fruits improves overall well-being.

Regular exercise helps regulate hormones, reduces cramps, and boosts immunity. Short walks in sunlight support vitamin D levels, crucial for bone and reproductive health. Pregnant women should take extra care by keeping warm, following prenatal vitamins, and avoiding exposure to infections.

Seek medical attention for irregular periods, severe cramps, persistent discharge, pelvic pain, or urinary discomfort. KRIMS Hospitals provides comprehensive services including ultrasound, hormonal evaluation, PCOS management, antenatal care, and women’s wellness support.

With mindful habits and expert care, winter can be a healthy and balanced season for women.
