HEALTH AND FITNESS [WOMEN'S HEALTH]

                                 III.WOMEN'S HEALTH



INTRODUCTION:

                  Women's health is described as "the health of women, which differs greatly from that of men in many particular ways." Population health, which the World Health Organization (WHO) describes as "a state of overall physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of either infirmity or disease," is an illustration of women's health. Greater groups advocate for a broader definition of women's general health, which is best characterized as "The health of women," as opposed to the widely used, constricting term "women's These kinds of disparities are made considerably worse by the difficulties faced by women in poor nations, whose health takes into consideration their circumstances and hazards.

                 In addition to being very different biologically from men, women are significantly more prone than men to be susceptible to disease. They have particular health problems that are particular to them. The majority of these health problems are consequences from irregular menstruation, pregnancy, and other illnesses affecting specific female organs including the breasts, ovaries, and others.

 Issues Concerning Women's Health:

              Women must exercise greater caution and awareness when it comes to their personal health issues. Let's examine some important health issues that affect women today.


1. Women's Cancer:

                   According to studies, there are two types of cancer. They are Cervical cancer and Breast cancer, which cause even a million women's deaths annually, especially in third-world nations where early detection and awareness are weak and women's health care is in appalling condition. If both malignancies are found in their earliest stages, they may be either cured or slowed down.

                                                          



                 
Breast cancer may result from a variety of causes. Inappropriate menstruation, genetics, obesity, radiation ,medicine, medication, and a breast biopsy. cation, and a breast biopsy.


2. Female Depression:


                  Numerous studies have shown that women are more likely than men to experience depression and other psychiatric problems. One such recent survey also found that almost 12 million women, who are nearly twice as likely to experience depression as males, do so each year. Depression and stress both considerably increase the suicide risk in women compared to men.
 

                                                           



                 The hormonal changes that occur in women during and after pregnancy, particularly during and after menopause, can be used to detect certain types of sadness. Other causes include prescription medicines, heart conditions, marital issues, other deadly illnesses, drug and substance misuse, and a variety of other factors.


3. Diseases that are Sexually Transmitted:


                Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) affect women more severely and frequently than they do males, similar to many other diseases. There are many different sexually transmitted illnesses, some of which have a fatality risk. The most prevalent and lethal STD in women is HIV+ or AIDS. Gonorrhoeic, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Trichomoniasis, and Herpes are further sexually transmitted illnesses. All of these diseases have somewhat different signs and treatments, but if caught early enough, they may be stopped or even cured.
                                                               
               A working woman is excellent for society because she is healthy. It is crucial to give them access to good healthcare and education about health issues so that unneeded, unhealthy, and fatalities can be avoided.  


4.Infertility:

                                                      


                Infertility affects 1.5 million couples in the US region. For infertility, many couples turn to assisted reproductive technology (ART). 47,090 live babies were produced through 147,260 IVF (In Vitro Fertilizations) treatments in the United States in 2010. These figures had risen to 160 521 and 53 252 respectively in 2013. However, multiple births—which are linked to a rise in both mother and infant mortality and morbidity—occur in around half of IVF pregnancies. Premature birth, elevated maternal blood pressure, and low birth weight are the root causes of this. Additionally, more women are accessing ART and delaying pregnancy longer.


5.Chronic Heart Disease:

                                                       

                                                         
                  Cardiovascular disease is a non-reproductive health problem that accounts for 30% of deaths and approximately 40% of chronic illnesses among women in the US. Women experience the onset later than males do. For instance, stroke incidence is lower in women under 80 than in men, but it is higher in women beyond 80. Women have a higher total lifetime risk of stroke than men do. Diabetes and smoking both increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in women more so than in males. Women and men experience several cardiovascular diseases differently, including differences in prevalence, risk factors, symptoms, physiology, response to treatment, and outcome.
