6 major possible health problems in females:

1. Osteoporosis

Well, though it can affect both men and women, it affects the health of women more! According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, with age women get prone to be affected by osteoporosis. It affects the potency and resiliency of the bones in women, which can cause fractures and even end up with the breaking of bones in the future!

2. PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)

PCOS is the condition that causes small cysts to get formed on the ovaries of women during ovulation. According to the Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, PCOS is the most familiar endocrine abnormality observed in women who are in the reproductive age! Getting infected and ruptured day by day, the cysts often cause damage to the uterus and cease the fertility.

3. Depression

The WHO (World Health Organization) says that women are 50% more victim of depression than men. Hormonal changes and lifestyle factors are the risks for it. Post-pregnancy issues, work stress, family history of a few diseases, and substance abuse are the common triggers of depression. Negligence from the near and dear ones can be another possible reason to get depressed!

4. Diabetes

It is the most potential dynamic in India and even we top the world with the total no of diabetics. To your surprise, women are more susceptible to have diabetes than men! Type 2 diabetes is the most common epidemic, but the good news is it can be fought off. A healthy lifestyle, proper weight, exercise and controlled blood sugar levels are the way to deal it.

5. Heart Disease

According to the research of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 29% of the deaths in women are due to heart disease. And an improper diagnosis is the main culprit for this. You will be surprised to know that obesity, inactivity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and stress are the well-known triggers for having a stroke or a heart attack.

6. Cancer

Cancer is another big threat to women’s health. According to NICPR (National Institute of Cancer Prevention And Research), in India, one woman dies from cancer in every 8 minutes. And cancers of the cervix and breast account for over half of the cancer deaths in women. In today’s world, due to late marriage women are planning babies late. Stress and inactivity are just other major risks for cancer.

Knowing the signs can definitely help you to recognize the symptoms of the diseases in your sister for the betterment of her health.
