As per Dr Sonali Mittal, a gynaecologist at the clinic, “Several diagnoses were more prevalent in gas-exposed women. Hormonal conditions such as early and premature menopause were 2.6 times more frequent in gas-exposed women compared to those not exposed.”Shirin Khan, one of the middle-aged survivors of the gas leak, lost her husband Jamil Khan (also a gas leak affected patient) two years back due to multiple problems. She is now herself afflicted with multiple problems, including gynaecological problems.Expressing concern at the unfolding clinical picture of the survivors of the disaster, Dr B Raghuram, physician at the Sambhavna Clinic, said, “Kidney-related conditions, possibly triggered by the initial injury from Methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas leak exposure, have remained seven times higher in the exposed group. Acute conditions like myocardial infarction and ischemic heart diseases were found to be 4.5 times more prevalent in the gas-exposed population.”
