Conditions Affecting Women
Women’s health covers a wide range of conditions experienced only by women, including pregnancy, menopause, and postpartum depression. Others affect women more than men, such as osteoporosis, breast cancer, urinary tract infections, and anorexia nervosa.
The symptoms of these issues and many other conditions vary widely, and require the expertise of highly trained and skilled women’s health professionals for proper diagnosis. As many serious health conditions, such as breast and ovarian cancer, have no symptoms early on, regular doctor’s visits and health screenings are a valuable aspect of a woman’s health and well-being.
Causes of Women’s Health Conditions
The causes of many conditions affecting women vary. Some, such as painful bladder syndrome (i)nterstitial cystitis or uterine fibroids, are still unknown. Others are well understood, such as:
- Pregnancy triggering gestational diabetes
- Bacteria causing urinary tract infections
- Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) causing heart disease
Treatment & Prevention for Women’s Health Conditions
Doctors at Dignity Health understand that while many conditions affect both men and women alike, the routes for diagnosis, treatment, and management are often different. Things like female-specific risk factors and symptoms play a crucial role in the prevention and diagnosis of women’s health conditions.
At Dignity Health, our goal is to help all women with a wide array of health concerns experience optimal health during every stage of their life. Ask your doctor to help you create a plan to improve or maintain your health — whether through healthy eating, vitamins and supplements, or a different way to exercise. Combining proactive prevention and treatment strategies with the latest medical technology, our women’s health providers stay at the forefront of women’s health care for today and tomorrow.
Dignity Health is committed to the highest standards of treatment for women’s health in Arizona, as part of our philosophy of personal care for women’s physical, mental, and spiritual needs.
