Women's Health

Women’s health refers to the overall health of women that are affected by physiological variables. In recent years, endometrial cancer and cervical cancer have become the most common cancer in women, which has aroused much public concern about gynecological health. Virtually, hormones have a great impact on women’s health, such as the female sex hormone, estrogen, and progesterone. They can influence the reproductive and sexual health of women in the period of menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. According to changes in the endocrine system, the risk of gynecological diseases increases with age. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage women to maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular Pap tests, and HPV testing to ensure the health of the uterus.

Breast cancer is the second leading cancer that occurs among women. Each year, the United States has about 40,000 women die from breast cancer, and about 200,000 women screen to have breast cancer. It is important for women to take a screening examination to prevent and lower the risk to cause breast cancer.
