Common diseases in women

 There are some diseases that occurs more often to women than men those are groups of diseases. We will talk about each disease and the ratio of its occurrence to women compared to its occurrence rate to men.

Gallstones: This is a disease where the gall bladder forms a stone and then got inflamed and so no further secretion of bile leading to pain and mull digestion this occurs three to four times more common in women than in men.

Migraine headache: This is a disease where the patient suffers from severe headache but only within one cerebral hemisphere causing the headache to be in one side of the head. This occurs three times more often to women.

Urinary tract infections: These are wide range of infections related to the urinary tract. These may affect the kidneys, the ureters , the bladder or even lower. These always affect women more than men

Hypertension: It often occurs more often to women due to kidney diseases. This type of hypertension is called secondary hypertension as it occur due to kidney diseases secondary to urinary tract infections.

Hypochromic anaemia: This is a disease where the count of red blood cells decreases than normal. Its more often in women due to their continuous loss of blood in each menstrual cycle and also due to periods of pregnancy and lactation where the many of the essential nutrients of the body are transferred to the fetus or the infant.

Autoimmune diseases: These include Multiple sclerosis, Sjogren’s syndrome and lupus. These are diseases where the immune systems attacks the person’s own body organs leading to their inflammation and destruction. These diseases often occur to women more often to men in the ratio of three to one. One more autoimmune disease that is more common and more known to us is Rheumatic arthritis where the immune cells attacks the bone tissues specially in the joints. This disease occurs for women in the ratio of two to one compared to men.

Osteoporosis: In this cases the bone density decreases severely causing the bone to be more susceptible to fractures. This topic concerns women’s health more than men’s health as it occurs to women mostly. This always occur after the age of menopause where the menstruation stops and the normal hormonal secretion stops. These hormones affect the rate of calcification of the bones and so by time the bone density is lowered leading to more susceptibility to fractures. In this cases an artificial hormonal therapy can compensate for the decrease levels and also good calcium intake is the best remedy for such cases , so we always advice women to maintain a normal supplement of dairy products from young ages.

Finally I would give an advice for women to maintain healthy life. First eat well but don’t eat much. Second try to have a continuous exercise regime. Third try to maintain a fixed time schedule for your meals and sleeping time.
