Cancer Warning Signs, Detection and Diognosis

Women's Health refers to the physical and mental wellbeing of woman. Some of them relate to genetic issues such as Diabetes, Thyroid, gynaecological cancer etc.    While others may include serious gynaecological issues caused by hormonal or physical disparities especially in women.

 Women's health has been expressed as "a patchwork quilt with gaps". Although many of the issues around women's health related to their reproductive health, including maternal and child health, genital health, breast health, and endocrinal health, which includes menstruation, birth control and menopause, a broader understanding of women's health to include all aspects of the women’s health has been urged. The WHO considers that an undue emphasis on reproductive health has been a major barrier for ensuring access to good standard health care for all women. Conditions that affect both men and women, such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, also manifest disparately in women. Women's health issues also include medical situations in which women face so many problems indirectly related to their biology, such as gender-differentiated access to medical treatment and other socioeconomic factors. Women's health is of important concern due to widespread discrimination against women in the world, leaving them disadvantaged.
