Key Topics Covered in the Podcast with Dr. Nidhi Nagar
1. Choosing the Right Contraceptive
Not all contraceptive pills or methods suit every woman. Dr. Nidhi Nagar advises consulting a gynecologist before making a choice. This ensures you avoid unwanted side effects, maintain hormonal balance, and pick a method that aligns with your health history.
2. Understanding White Discharge
White discharge can be completely normal — but when it changes in color, smell, or texture, it could indicate infection. Unfortunately, many women delay seeking help.
Dr. Nidhi Nagar explains that public washrooms alone are not the main culprit; rather, poor hygiene and weakened immunity can increase the risk of infections like UTIs.
3. Preventing UTIs & Maintaining Intimate Hygiene
UTIs are uncomfortable and can recur if hygiene is neglected. Key prevention tips include:
- Staying hydrated
- Wearing breathable cotton underwear
- Avoiding overly harsh intimate washes
- Wiping from front to back
Dr. Nidhi Nagar also warns against excessive cleaning with chemical-based products, as it can disturb the natural pH and cause irritation.
4. Pregnancy Planning & Pre-Conception Checkups
A common mistake couples make is waiting until pregnancy struggles appear before visiting a doctor. Dr. Nidhi Nagar suggests that both partners undergo a basic fertility check-up before trying for a baby.
This helps identify possible issues early — such as hormonal imbalances, sperm quality problems, or blocked fallopian tubes — increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
5. Why Infertility Isn’t Just a Woman’s Problem
In India, infertility is often wrongly blamed solely on women. In reality, male fertility factors contribute to many cases. Dr. Nidhi Nagar encourages couples to approach infertility as a shared challenge rather than a blame game.
6. Alcohol, Smoking & Fertility
Both alcohol and smoking can lower fertility in men and women by affecting hormone production and reproductive cell health. Dr. Nidhi Nagar recommends quitting these habits when planning a pregnancy.
7. Busting Myths About Pregnancy
- Can you get pregnant during your period? Yes, if ovulation occurs early in the cycle.
- Is sex during menstruation safe? It can be, but partners must ensure proper hygiene.
8. Understanding IVF & Egg Freezing
For women delaying pregnancy due to career or personal reasons, egg freezing is a promising option. Dr. Nidhi Nagar explains the procedure, cost, and who should consider it.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is another widely discussed topic. It’s not for every couple, but for those with severe fertility challenges, it can be life-changing.
9. PCOD vs PCOS – What’s the Difference?
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, they are different:
- PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease): Mild hormonal imbalance, often manageable with lifestyle changes.
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): A more severe condition linked with metabolic issues, infertility, and long-term health risks.
10. Managing Health Conditions During Pregnancy
Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and anemia require extra care during pregnancy. Dr. Nidhi Nagar shares that 60–70% of Indian women suffer from anemia, which can be managed with dietary changes, iron supplements, and regular monitoring.
11. Preventing Miscarriages
While not all miscarriages are preventable, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, avoiding harmful substances, and following a doctor’s advice can lower risks.
12. Breast Cancer Awareness
Early detection through self-examination and screening is critical. Dr. Nidhi Nagar encourages women to perform monthly self-breast checks and seek evaluation if any lumps or changes are noticed.
