NA ZUHURA JUMA, KU@@@@ WANAWAKE wametakiwa kuacha tabia ya kuweka vitu kwenye sehemu za siri, kwani wanaweza kuathiri mfumo mzima wa viungo vya uzazi. Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari katika Ukumbi wa chama cha Waandishi Tanzania (TAMWA) Mkanjuni Chake Chake Pemba, Mratibu wa Tume ya Ukimwi Pemba Ali Mbarouk Omar alisema, kuna baadhi ya wanawake huweka vitu katika sehemu zao za siri, jambo ambalo ni hatari kwa afya ya uzazi.
