Disorders In Women. Which Are The Most Common?

There are a number of common conditions in women.  We should be well aware of this.

We probably all know that we are often more responsible for the health of those around us than our own well-being. However, we should also be aware of this.

At the same time, our own lifestyle can determine the development of certain disorders.

Daily worries, stress and failing to have regular routine checkups can sometimes result in problems.

That is why in this article we propose something very simple and important: take care of yourself, listen to yourself and prioritize yourself.  Besides, taking care of yourself is not selfish at all.

Taking care of yourself means appreciating yourself, something that everyone deserves to be happy and give the best of themselves to those around them.

We invite you to learn a little more about the symptoms of five common conditions in women.

1. Migraine, a headache that sets in during puberty

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that twice as many women suffer from migraines than men. In addition, the pain lasts longer and the problem occurs more often.

Migraines are arguably the most common ailment in women.

In fact, most traditional drugs that affect the arteries are completely unable to relieve the pain of migraines.

• Migraines have nothing to do with hormones or stress.
• Recent data show that migraines are caused by hypersensitive nerve fibers.
• Although migraine also has a hereditary factor, it is now known that the central nervous system also has something to do with this condition. Therefore  , experiments are currently being conducted to develop more effective treatments.

Symptoms of Migraines

• Women get migraines at a young age. It is even quite common that girls already suffer from this at the age of eleven.

• The pain associated with migraines is very intense and throbbing and is concentrated on one side of the head. This pain causes dizziness, vomiting and sometimes even hallucinations.
• This type of headache does not go away and sometimes occurs up to four times a month. Sometimes migraines can suddenly disappear after a few years.

2. The most common allergies in women

This may sound strange, but allergies are more common in women than in men. However, we often pay little attention to it when the symptoms are not so severe.

Intolerances to gluten, barley and rye are also more common in women. This is so obvious that the Celiac Disease Foundation states that nearly seventy percent of all people who suffer from it are women.

It is also wise to take into account the fact that women come into contact with chemical products the most. The main reasons why women suffer from allergic reactions are the use of cosmetic and household products.

What symptoms of these conditions in women should we watch out for?

• Pay attention to how your eyes and skin react when they come into contact with certain cosmetics.
• If there is an allergy, women often suffer from a dry throat and watery eyes.
• Also watch your digestion. Sometimes a feeling of discomfort, gas or bloating after eating certain foods can also indicate a certain intolerance.

3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome, One of the Most Common Conditions in Women

Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the conditions in women that is linked to the digestive process and causes pain and inflammation.

There can be both constipation and diarrhea and it can leave a person unable to do anything for hours.

The exact cause of irritable bowel syndrome is still unknown. What is striking is that this problem often occurs during periods of high stress, when someone is nervous and when there are hormonal changes.

Be aware of the following symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome:

• This syndrome usually appears for the first time when someone is between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five.
• It is not a simple condition at all, nor does it indicate indigestion or gastritis. There is intense pain in the intestines that radiates to the lower abdomen.
• You may experience vomiting, gas or a very burning sensation. The pain comes and goes and can sometimes last for a few days.

4. Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is also one of the most common diseases in women. However, it is important to be aware of the fact that the number of cases of lung and colorectal cancer has also increased in recent years.

Never postpone periodic examinations.

What symptoms should you be aware of?

Watch your breasts. Many women already know how to examine their breasts themselves to see if there is a lump. Nevertheless, women forget that there is also another way to recognize breast cancer: the small dimples.

If you also have breast cancer in your family, it is important to have yourself regularly examined before you turn 40.

From the age of 40, you should have periodic mammograms.

5. Depression, a faithful companion at times

According to the World Health Organization, around 350 million people around the world suffer from depression every year,  and a large proportion of these are women. Depression is a silent illness that occurs at certain times in our lives.

Depression has one aspect that is especially important to remember:

• Women have the best psychological strategies to fight depression. They are more likely to seek help than men, are able to find emotional relief and express their problems better. They are also better able to communicate by exposing themselves to others.

Symptoms of Depression

• Apathy
• Lack of energy
• Constantly bad mood
• Constantly recurring sadness and constant negative thoughts
• Sleep disturbances
• Physical and musculoskeletal pain
