What is women’s health care?

Women’s health care is the medical field devoted to reproductive and unique health needs for females. As a primary care practice, NugaHealth Primary Care has the resources needed to manage all aspects of your health as you age.

What are the most common women’s health issues?

Women’s health issues can affect both the reproductive system and the whole body. Some of the issues that women may experience include: 

• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
• Endometriosis
• Infertility
• Endometrial, cervical, breast, and other cancers
• Osteoporosis
• Depression
• Autoimmune disease
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Hormone imbalance
• Urinary incontinence
• Sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and human papillomavirus (HPV)

Women may experience many other health problems and challenges throughout their life. 

For example, women have a higher risk of breast cancer and heart disease. Migraines, arthritis, and depression also occur more often in women and may be more severe. 

As you age, Omobolanle ensures you receive the appropriate care you need to enhance your quality of life.
