Monsoon disease: With the arrival of the rainy season, the heat subsides, but the risk of many types of infections also increases. Due to the accumulation of water and the spread of dirt everywhere, bacteria have a chance to grow. Due to this, many diseases (rainy season diseases) can attack the body. Therefore, one should be careful these days, otherwise health may deteriorate. Know here which diseases are most at risk during the monsoon…
1. Gastroenteritis
The most common illness during the rainy season is gastroenteritis. This disease is caused by poor diet and water. Its symptoms include problems such as diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. The sudden onset of diarrhea, often watery and accompanied by fever, is a clear sign of intestinal infection. If not treated in time, this disease can also cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and in severe cases, kidney failure.
2. Dengue
According to the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), more than one lakh cases of dengue fever were reported in India in 2021. Dengue cases increase during the rainy season in India. Its symptoms include high fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, and skin rashes.
In severe cases, dengue fever can develop into dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), causing severe bleeding, organ failure, and in severe cases, even death. Its worst effects are particularly seen in children and people with weak immune systems.
3. Malaria
Malaria disease spreads during the rains in many parts of India. Its symptoms include frequent high fever, chills, sweating, headache, nausea and muscle pain. A sudden increase in fever and flu-like symptoms, often accompanied by chills and shivering, are signs of malaria infection. If malaria is not treated in time, it can cause severe anemia, difficulty in breathing, organ failure and, in severe cases, cerebral malaria, due to which the patient may fall into a coma or even die.
4. Cholera
The risk of cholera also increases in the rain. This causes sudden diarrhea, vomiting, and severe dehydration. Sunken eyes, dry mouth, and reduced urination are warning signs of cholera. Complications can progress rapidly, leading to shock, electrolyte imbalance, and in severe cases, death within hours if left untreated.
There is also a danger of these diseases during the monsoon season.
5. Typhoid
6. Flu
7. Leptospirosis
