Women tend to access the health system much more than men, not only for themselves but for their children as well. Senior and long-term care issues affect many women more often because they live much longer; they have higher rates of disability and chronic health problems and lower incomes than men on average, which ends up putting them at greater risk and need for healthcare resources. 

Women tend to experience unique healthcare challenges and are more likely to be diagnosed with certain diseases than men. Chronic diseases and conditions including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are some of the leading causes of death in women. A few chronic diseases and conditions that women suffer from more often than men and the main reasons women’s health is so critical, they are:

• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Depression
• Osteoporosis
• Alzheimer’s

At Rocky Mount, Family Medical offers high-quality and top-rated medical services and treatments to our patients. 

Even though both men and women can contract various conditions, some health issues can affect women differently and more commonly than men. Women bear exclusive health concerns, such as colposcopy exams, cervical cancer, menopause, and pregnancy. Women suffer at a higher rate of heart attacks and death from heart attacks compared to men. 

These conditions are considered more at risk than other health conditions for women:

• Heart disease
• Colposcopy Exams
• Ovarian and cervical cancer
• Gynecological health
• Pregnancy issues
• Autoimmune diseases
• Depression and anxiety

• Gain a relationship with your doctor so they can get to know your healthy habits and lifestyle to better diagnose and treat illnesses or injuries
