Some common women’s health concerns include menstrual irregularities, urinary tract infections, pelvic pain, and hormonal imbalances.
Additionally, conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and breast health are also important considerations for women’s overall wellbeing.
General health, including heart health, weight management and mental health are also important topics.
You can maintain heart health by adopting a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress, avoiding smoking, and keeping track of blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Regular cardiovascular screenings and check-ups are also important.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing pain and fertility issues.
Treatment options include pain management, hormonal therapies, and in some cases, surgery to remove the abnormal tissue.
Menstrual cramps, or dysmenorrhea, can be managed through various methods.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, applying heat to the abdomen, practising relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and maintaining a balanced diet can help alleviate discomfort.
Prioritising mental health involves practising self-care, managing stress through relaxation techniques and mindfulness, seeking support from friends, family, or professionals, and being open about feelings and emotions.
Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and getting adequate sleep can really boost overall mental well-being.
