Your health with Pharmacist Advice

Women's Health

Many women these days find there is too much to do in one day. The responsibilities of being a wife, mother, housekeeper and worker may affect a woman’s physical and mental health. It is important to take advantage of routine health checks and to seek advice early if something does not feel right. It is important for everyone to know if their cholesterol is raised, whether they have an increased risk for diabetes or osteoporosis later in life and what can be done to prevent these problems. Women need to be aware of the need for routine screening mammography between the ages of 50 to 70 and the benefits of regular Pap smears every two years, but there is a lot more that women can do to ensure good health into old age.
