Does the above picture describe your recent thoughts? As we celebrate Women’s Health Month, we want to raise awareness about health issues unique to women while encouraging every woman to make her health a priority. At Surepoint Emergency Center, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive emergency care for women of all ages.
Women’s Health Month serves as a powerful reminder to women across the country to care for and maintain their health. There are some health conditions that women have that differ from men. Here are some interesting facts about women’s health:
-
- Women are more likely than men to experience autoimmune diseases, scoliosis, and migraines.
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, but the symptoms often present differently than in men, such as:
- shortness of breath
- fatigue
- nausea
- dizziness
- back pain
- abdominal pain
- syncope (passing out)
- Around 12% of the female population in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life.
- Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.
- More than 60% of women in the U.S. do not engage in a healthy amount of physical activity.
Managing your health as a woman isn’t always easy, especially when symptoms can be subtle or easily overlooked. That’s why it’s essential to take advantage of available resources and be proactive about your well-being. Neglecting this can lead to serious health issues– and in some cases, those issues can quickly turn into emergencies. Below are a few common emergencies that specifically affect women:
- Severe Migraines: Chronic migraines can require urgent treatment if conditions and symptoms worsen.
- Complications from Pregnancy: In some cases, pregnancy can become dangerous. Conditions like ectopic pregnancy, preeclampsia, or postpartum bleeding can be life-threatening if not addressed quickly.
- Bone Fractures or Osteoporosis-Related Injuries: These are especially concerning for postmenopausal women.
- Heart Attack or Chest Pain: Women often experience symptoms different than those of men, which can lead to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment.
- Severe Allergic Reactions: Due to autoimmune differences, women are more likely than men to experience intense allergic reactions.
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding: Abnormal vaginal bleeding can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormone imbalances, benign growths like fibroids or polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, infections, bleeding disorders, and even in rare cases, cancer. When your body doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells, it can cause severe anemia.
When facing these or similar health issues, you deserve the best care to ensure your comfort and safety as a woman. Women’s health differs slightly from men’s, so some concepts are overlooked, leading to health issues that continuously get worse over time.
