Womens health issues

Introduction: A New Approach to Women's Health

Women’s health encompasses a wide range of physical, emotional, and hormonal challenges that often go unaddressed in conventional medicine. At Patients Medical in New York City, we adopt an integrative approach that combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to understand and treat the root causes of women’s health issues.

Our goal is to treat the whole person—not just isolated symptoms—by considering the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the unique experiences of each woman.

Common Women's Health Issues

Women’s health issues can manifest in various ways, affecting different aspects of well-being. Some prevalent concerns include:

  • Menstrual Disorders: Irregular or painful periods, heavy bleeding, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
  • Reproductive Health: Fertility challenges, pregnancy-related issues, and menopause.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and adrenal fatigue.
  • Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, and mood swings often linked to hormonal fluctuations.
  • Chronic Conditions: Osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders that disproportionately affect women.patientsmedical.com+1The Times of India+1
