Women's Health

Women's health is a specialized branch of medicine focusing on the comprehensive care of females, encompassing their reproductive, hormonal, and general physiological well-being. This field includes areas such as gynecology, which deals with the health of the female reproductive system (uterus, vagina, ovaries), and obstetrics, which supports women during pregnancy and childbirth. The scope also covers the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases specific to women, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, menopause, and osteoporosis. Furthermore, it addresses female-centric issues like menstrual disorders, contraception, and fertility.

From a broader perspective, women's health also considers the unique socio-cultural and psychological challenges that impact a woman's health. It integrates preventative medicine, including regular screenings for common female health issues, and promotes healthy lifestyle choices geared towards the distinct needs of women at various life stages. Healthcare providers in this domain collaborate to provide a multidisciplinary approach, which may entail collaboration between primary care physicians, gynecologists, obstetricians, endocrinologists, and other specialists to ensure a comprehensive health strategy tailored to each woman's individual requirements.
