For this International Women's Day...
Let's help the women in our lives see about THEIR health and wellness
Women already face so many obstacles but certain health issues pose a particular challenge for them like:
1. Heart disease: It's not just the men...this is a #1 killer of women in many countries
2. Breast cancer: Regular self breast exams and frequent mammograms can detect this early
3. Cervical cancer: HPV vaccines prevent most types and regular pap smears detect them early so they can be cured
4. Gynecological health: Heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and irregular menstrual cycles are common symptoms often caused by serious but often ignored gynecological health issues like endometriosis, fibroids, and polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS).
5. Maternal health: Women need early and frequent care when pregnant because it is a very high risk time
6. Menopause: A normal physiological process that is associated with very disabling symptoms that is often untreated
7. Depression and anxiety: Women are more likely to experience mental health issues like depression and anxiety than men.
8. Osteoporosis: A serious bone disease that makes womens' bones weak and more susceptible to fractures. Effective treatments can prevent this.
9. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs): Women are more likely to face long-term health issues from STDs.
10. Autoimmune diseases: Women are more likely to have these causing symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and persistent fevers
