Hyderabad: A significant percentage of women in five villages in Rangareddy district have reproductive health issues, anemia, and poor eyesight, while pregnant women lack nutrition and antenatal care, according to a survey.

The survey, which was conducted in the Maheshwaram mandal villages of KC Thanda, Kalwakole, Harshaguda, Ameerpet, and Kandakur, revealed that anemia affects 25% of adult women and that 52.7 percent of women have refractive errors in their eyes, which include myopia, hyperopia or hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. These errors necessitate the use of corrective glasses, and their high prevalence indicates that those affected are coping with less-than-perfect eyesight without realising it.

Menstrual irregularities and hysterectomy were found in 11% of the women, oral health issues in 25% of the women, and diabetes and hypertension in 11.2 percent of the women. It was also discovered that the majority of pregnant women do not receive adequate nutrition or antenatal care.
