Why Is Women’s Health Is So Important?

Todays’ truth is, women have set their foot on the moon, and have established themselves in every field they were restricted before! In the race to play there every role perfect, be it of a caring mother, loving wife, affectionate sister, cute daughter, or an independent career-oriented woman, she often fails to keep up with her health!

Thus, it is simple to understand how important it is for a woman to take care of her health.

How A Woman Should Take Care Of Her Health?

Every woman’s body goes through tremendous changes during the different phases of life, depending upon the play of hormones, beginning in infancy, childhood, adolescence starting the reproductive age group towards adulthood ending the reproductive period & post-menopausal stage.

In this context, it is pivotal for every woman to be mindful of the various changes that take place within her body with passing time and be aware of certain signs and symptoms that might crop up now and then.

She should ensure that whatever she eats is providing her with each nutrient in the required quantity. She has responsibilities for her family and work area, but she has the responsibility of hers also on her shoulders. Thus, she must take out at least half an hour for herself daily and indulge her in some activity that gives her the feeling of relaxation!

If she feels some kind of change in her body that is not making her feel comfortable, either she must share it with someone experienced or with the expert. We bring you five such red-flag symptoms that a woman should never ignore and get prompt medical care.

Excessive Menstrual Bleeding….!

Excessive menstrual bleeding, medically termed as menorrhagia is experiencing abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding often during, after, or in between periods. For many women, this extreme menstrual bleeding is accepted as a usual order but be wary as it can be an underlying symptom of a different health problem. From hormonal imbalance (caused due to PCOS, obesity, insulin resistance, and thyroid problems), dysfunction of the ovaries, polyps, cancer, adenomyosis, inherited bleeding disorder like von Willebrand's disease, a medication side effect to kidney and liver anomalies, a heavy, prolonged vaginal bleeding can be a grave sign to be aware of.

Depression….!

Depression is quite a serious and ubiquitous mood disorder. It can be mild to moderate characterized by feelings of sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, worthlessness, low self-esteem, crankiness, excessive crying, little appetite, difficulty sleeping, losing interest in pleasure activities, and low-grade fatigue. Or it can be more severe leading to even suicidal thoughts.

There are several underlying causes of depression. The biological and hormonal factors include issues with pregnancy, fertility, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, perimenopause, menopause, and menstrual cycles whereas psychological factors mainly occur due to the emotional nature of women that often rehash negative thoughts during bouts of depression.

Other psychological factors that tend to affect women are negative body images and stress-induced depression. Even social causes like marital or relationship problems, work-life balance issues, financial troubles, and stressful life events, including the loss of a loved one can often lead to depression. Hence, it is necessary to notice slight changes in mood swings and get the necessary help at the earliest.

Lack Of Sleep…..!

Loss of sleep or insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it quite hard to fall asleep, hard to stay awake or cause you to wake up too early and not be able to get back to sleep. It is quite common in females due to a combination of biological and social factors.

Insomnia can be acute or chronic stemming preliminarily from stress about work, health, finances, school, or family, an unlikely life event, or even the loss of a loved one. Insomnia can also occur due to poor sleeping patterns, having a heavy meal late at night, excessive consumption of caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol, or irregular travel or work schedule disturbing the circadian rhythm.

Loss Of Hair…..!

Hair loss, medically termed as Alopecia refers to excessive loss of hair often characterized by circular or patchy bald spots, gradual thinning on top of the head, sudden loosening of hair, or patches of scaling that spread over the scalp.

Although gradual aging and heredity play an important role in losing hair gradually, sudden hair loss in excessive amounts can also be a reason due to hormonal changes arising from pregnancy, childbirth, menopause or thyroid problems, medical conditions like ringworm infection on the scalp, and many others.

Breast Lumps….!

It is extremely necessary to pay attention to the breasts. In addition to checking changes in breast size or shape, or nipple discharge, watch out for the presence of any lumps inside them.

If you notice any of the above-mentioned symptoms that don’t feel quite right, do listen to your intuition, and seek medical attention immediately.

Stay Informed! Stay Healthy! Stay Happy!
