Womens Health Issues

Although both sexes often share similar health risks like stroke, cancer and heart disease, womens can and often do exhibit different symptoms of the same exact illness that a man might have.
For example everyone knows that when someone has a heart attack they have chest pain. Although this is true for men it isn't always true for women. A women may have no chest pain at all even though they are experiencing a heart attack.

And then there are a host of diseases that are particular to women such as ovarian and breast cancer. Menopausal and pregnancy issues like dealing with morning sickness, baby blues etc.

There are also some diseases that will strike women in a much higher percentage than men. For example depression  and anxiety related illnesses. Women are twice as likely to struggle with these issues than men and it isn't related to racial background or income related factors.  Other womens health issues are osteoarthritis and constipation where women are also twice as likely to have issues with constipation than men.

And lastly there are differences how women are effected by an illness. For example womens heart attack survival rates are much lower than mens. (The exact reason isn't known but many believe it may have something to do with physically having a smaller heart.)
