Women's Health Q&A

What is women’s health?

Women’s health is concerned with conditions affecting the female reproductive system and the female anatomy. Men and women share many of the same kinds of common health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and infectious diseases.

However, some health conditions affect women exclusively, like endometriosis, or affect women far more commonly than men, like breast cancer.

Women’s health includes:

Breast health
Maternal and child health
Genital health
Menstrual health
Endocrine (hormonal) health
Sexual wellness

The Vantage Medical Associates PC team helps you keep up with all of your health needs and learn to identify issues as they arise.

What conditions would come under women’s health?

Examples of the types of conditions that come under women’s health include:

Hormonal imbalances
Yeast and bacterial infections
Vaginal atrophy
Menstrual problems
Painful intercourse
Menopause
STDs (sexually transmitted diseases)
Ovarian cysts
Uterine fibroids
Endometriosis
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
Breast disorders
Incontinence

Issues relating to the menstrual cycle, like painful periods and PMS (premenstrual syndrome), are common. The female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone responsible for reproduction and menstruation can also disrupt your life when you go through menopause.
