Women and men have many of the same health problems, but they can affect women differently.
As a woman, you might share some common health risks with men, such as heart disease, but because of your special reproductive role, you are at risk of some distinctly female disorders.
For example, women may have different symptoms of heart disease.
Some diseases or conditions are more common in women, such as osteoarthritis, obesity and depression. And some conditions, such as menopause and pregnancy, are unique to women.
Women sometimes neglect their own health and focus instead on their partner's and their children's.
Take care of yourself first:
- Plan for pregnancies and see your healthcare provider regularly while you are pregnant
- Have regular mammograms
- Get regular checkups and screenings. Early detection is important for treating breast, cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer.
