This is National Women?s Health Week. Many of you are already eating healthy, following an exercise program, and feeling fit. But the majority of women are busy caring for others and find it difficult to squeeze in an exercise routine. Healthy meals might be a goal but let?s face it, driving through a fast food establishment is awfully convenient. So what goes through your mind when you think of National Women?s Health?
One of the things to consider are the diseases and the prevention and detection for these diseases for women. Breast cancer is at the forefront of advertisements and the media but there are several other diseases particular to women that deserve our attention and consideration.
1. Ovarian cancer-difficult to diagnose unless you are aware of the warning signs
2. Thyroid disease- often over looked as a source of fatigue and weight, irritability and insomnia in women
3. Heart disease- another overlooked disease because the symtoms of heart problems including myocardial infarction or heart attack are so different in women then in men. Women don?t always have chest pain!
4. Breast cancer- early detection is the key to treatment and surviving.
5 Other cancers including colon, cervical, and skin cancer.
6. Autoimmune conditions- vague symptoms initially and often not diagnosed until the disease is flaring and the woman feels extremely ill.
7. Diabetes- a health issue for women especially those with obesity.
8. Obesity, hypertension, and depression. All common conditions that are misdiagnosed or ignored because women tend to not complain or seek treatment unless it interferes with their lifestyle.
During the week celebrate National Women?s Health and take time to seek information on these conditions common to women. Also, make your appointment for a general physical and conversation with your physician or healthcare provider to get on track to wellness and health.
