The term “women’s health” can mean different things to different people. 

The articles found on this blog focus on womens health in the context of medical care, history, culture, and social issues. 

Women’s health topics will be discussed by experts in various fields of medicine, as well as female healthcare providers.

It should be noted that not every article includes information concerning the dangers or risks of pregnancy or other reproductive biology.

These articles are meant to be informative and sometimes include statements of opinion,

 so certain readers may find some scientific or medical information cited to be inaccurate or just plain wrong.

 I would like to note that none of the writers of this blog engage in regular clinical practice and 

we do not provide diagnosis and treatment recommendations for individual patients, 

and we do not diagnose diseases or recommend specific therapy for any individual patient.

 The articles should be read as useful background for those who wish to know more about women’s health issues related to pregnancy, 

menopause, menstruation, contraception and sexual health issues such as STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases).

Smoking, pregnancy, taking hormone supplements and weight gain are common concerns for women during early adulthood. 

There are many female hormones that are responsible for the female reproductive cycle 

including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. It is essential that women understand what 

they are taking when they decide to take these products because each hormone has 

different side effects when taken without consulting a doctor or other medical professional.

Some women take the “hormone replacement therapy” (HRT) to treat symptoms of menopause or other hormonal changes.

 It is important for women to understand that taking HRT without using birth control is not recommended as 

it can lead to problems with pregnancy and enlargement of the uterus. 

There are also other types of hormonal supplements that women can use if they do not want to undergo HRT. 

Some hormones include: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and HGH (human growth hormone). 

Each has a different effect on the body and should be used appropriately.

There are also certain activities and lifestyle habits that contribute to pregnancy. 

Some women are interested in learning how to prevent pregnancy by using the “fertility awareness method” (FAM). 

This method can be used by both married and single people. 

The advantage of FAM is that it is not expensive and natural methods do not use any products or devices. 

There are many misconceptions about FAM and though it does not prevent 100% of the time

 it is a good alternative for those who want to prevent pregnancy naturally.

Each woman should be aware of the different methods of birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

 Choosing the right method should be based on each woman’s personal preferences.

 Another option is to use both birth control and FAM together. FAM does not guarantee that pregnancy will not occur, 

so women should use another alternative to prevent pregnancy,

especially if they are not in a monogamous relationship with their partner. okemos women’s health

Fertility awareness involves learning how changes in body temperature, cervical fluid and cervix position reflect the fertility cycle in women. 

Monitoring these changes allows women to pinpoint times when they can or cannot conceive. 

The fertility awareness method has fewer side effects than other methods including low-dose birth control pills. 

Yet, it is not an effective form of contraception in women over 35 because 

the decrease in estrogen makes the changes in cervical fluid difficult to detect. 

Doctors often recommend that women have a medical check-up before using FAM to make sure there are no health risks.
