What is women’s health?

The term ‘women’s health’ refers to a vast number of health concerns that relate specifically to females.

Some of the more common women’s health issues include:

• genital infections or sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• menstrual problems
• menopause
• endometriosis
• polycystic ovarian syndrome

What is a well woman’s health check?

Keeping up with regular screening and seeking treatment for any unusual symptoms is key to maintaining a woman’s health.

Depending on your age and history, your check-up may include a breast examination, pelvic examination, cervical screening (pap test), STI screening or pre-pregnancy testing.

Many conditions, including genital infections, can be effectively treated or managed if diagnosed early. Regular check-ups are also vital for the early detection of cervical, breast, uterine and ovarian cancer. These illnesses are far more treatable when they are detected early.
