Women’s health spans a vast array of issues to include menstruation, pregnancy, infertility, and more. 

WOMEN’S HEALTH IN MEDICINE

A unique and specialised field, women’s health in medicine covers various issues to include pregnancy and menstruation as well as conditions affecting men and women but present differently in the latter. These are such as heart diseases and diabetes. Where females are concerned, gynaecological-related aspects span prenatal care, fertility, reproduction, and birth control among other areas. Encompassing a diverse array of scenarios where the involvement of healthcare professionals is entirely necessary, this sphere of concentration is critical, and warrants the attention of every woman—regardless of age.

Preventive Health and Proactive Measures

A notable fact is that a woman’s full physical make-up is extraordinary and complex, but as compelling as this notion may sound, complications could arise from a lack of self-care and preventive health, late detection, hereditary obstacles, congenital problems, environmental factors, and many other reasons.

In today’s age of information, no matter what a person’s hurdle may be, health literacy and awareness are instrumental to reaching an optimum level of wellness for the key purpose of longevity and vitality. On that note, what are certain possible ailments to which the majority of women could be susceptible?

COMMON WOMEN’S HEALTH CONDITIONS

From breast and cervical cancer to premenstrual syndrome to primary ovarian insufficiency to preterm labour to postpartum depression to perimenopause to menopause to osteoporosis to PCOS and more, why should you care about women’s health and how can you make a valiant effort in devoting to an improved degree of commitment to your personal wellbeing for the long term? Often, it is best to go back to the basics by understanding your body and making a connection to what it is communicating. Equipping self with knowledge and exercising proactive measures are the first step to empowerment.

Health Concerns and Lifestyle Choices

It is not uncommon to have certain concerns regarding your health whether or not you have identified an outward anomaly like a persisting rash, inward irregularity like a sudden muscle ache and joint pain, or nothing at all that may be a reason for alarm. As a lady increases in age, a perfectly natural tendency would be to wonder if all the body’s trains are running on time, and her organs are still fully functional. 

Especially for the health-conscious female constantly on the go, being fast, fit, fierce, and flexible may be a non-negotiable position. Regardless of routine, frequent health screenings and periodical checks are highly recommended. These are simple checks and balances to help ensure that your health is not silently suffering. At Putra Medical Centre, these are served up to the public on a weekly basis for free. For more information on our complimentary screenings and specialist workshops, do visit our website. 

In addition, lifestyle choices can go a long way toward lowering health risks and helping you live the life you want. Exercise and fitness coupled with a healthy diet can make a big difference to your health. One must not wait to incorporate a commendable regimen into her daily living. Where prevention is better than cure, the habit mustn’t be to wait till sickness befalls the body or when something’s wrong. Furthermore, meals consumed on time alongside easy-to-do workouts and daily supplements all add to a woman’s inner and outer health. Simple nutritious recipes and training videos are easily available.

WHEN TO SEE A WOMEN’S HEALTH SPECIALIST

The health of a woman is a lifelong journey throughout which every step towards betterment matters. Your needs change from one decade of your life to the next, and therefore, it is extremely essential to make sure that you are growing and evolving to match your aging body’s needs for tender loving care. For example, a woman in her 20s would do well to see a healthcare specialist for a breast examination, pelvic evaluation, and pap smear on a monthly basis for early detection and to rule out potential risks.

A female in her 40s is advised to start receiving mammograms and begin weight-bearing exercises to help combat osteoporosis and other ailments like obesity, perimenopause, and lower muscle density. There is no harm in seeking the guidance of a gynaecologist regarding nutrition, movement, and such. A woman in her 60s, which is when the age of retirement rolls around, might have worries regarding bone fractures and her now altered dietary requirements. That being said, it is never too early or late to take charge of your personal health and wellbeing. Make an appointment at Putra Medical Centre.
