❤️ so please don’t FEAR THE SMEAR and encourage your family and friends to get screened!!

All you need to know about Vitamin D !!🌞🌞
Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones, teeth and muscles .We need vitamin D to help the body absorb calcium and phosphate from our diet .

A lack of vitamin D i.e. vitamin D deficiency can cause bones to become soft and weak leading to deformities .

How do we get vitamin D ?

Our body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin when we’re outdoors.
We also get some vit D from a small number of foods including oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines as well as red meat and eggs .
It’s also added in infant formula milk , some breakfast cereals , and non dairy milk alternatives .
Another source of vitamin D is dietary supplements .

Who should take vitamin D supplements ?

All babies from birth to 1 year old 🌞
All children aged 1 to 4 yr olds .🌞
People who aren’t exposed to the sun , who are housebound , or unwell . 🌞

Everyone over the age of five years must take a monthly maintainable dose of vitamin D .🌞
We have seen that almost 90 percent of our patients are suffering from vitamin D deficiency due to lack of exposure to sunlight . Get your vitamin D levels checked yearly and add supplements accordingly to keep up with your vitamin D levels as adviced by your doctor .

Cervical erosion - when mild infections of cervix or va**na are not treated on time ,they turn into chronic infections leading to changes in th mucosa of the cervix causing erosions .
