While some health problems affect both men and women, there some issues which affects women differently. As an example, there are different symptoms of heart disease for women. Some conditions or diseases are more frequent in women, such as depression, obesity and osteoarthritis. And some conditions, like pregnancy and menopause, are unique to women.
Menopause is the time in a life when woman’s period stops. Most often it occurs after age 45. Menopause happens due to the fact that woman's ovary stops making the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Your doctor can tell you about how to best live in a new state. Doctor should be aware of your and your family medical history.
Most common reasons that women seek medical care are symptoms such as vaginal itching, pain burning, and discharge and some other. Frequently, the problem is an inflammation of the vagina, also called vaginitis. In women of childbearing age, the most common cause of it is a bacterial infection. In most times the main symptom is a smelly vaginal discharge, but some women may have no symptoms. It could be treated very effectively with antibiotics.
Also vaginitis can be caused by yeast infections and trichomoniasis. Some other causes of vaginal symptoms, including vaginal bleeding, are STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), vulvar cancer and vaginal cancer.
Women sometimes forget about their own health and focus instead on their partner's and their children's health. You should remember to take care of yourself first:
- Plan for pregnancies and see your doctor or other healthcare provider regularly while you are pregnant;
- Pass mammograms regularly;
- Get regular screenings and checkups. For best treatment of breast, cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer it is very important to detect them at an earlier state.
