Priority for women’s health

On International Women’s Day, it is important to recognize the extraordinary role that women play in society. However, women often prioritize the needs of others over their own, which ends up neglecting their own personal health. Prevention is essential for women of all ages, as it ensures not only a longer life, but also a better quality of life and fewer health problems in the future. At our hospital, we emphasize the importance of health checks for women, to encourage them to take responsibility for their own well-being.

The Role of Prevention in Women’s Health: Prevention is the foundation for maintaining good health. It includes proactive measures, such as regular checkups, healthy lifestyle choices, and vaccinations, that help women prevent health problems before they occur. Some of the most important checkups for women include:

• Breast cancer screening: Mammography can help detect breast cancer early, when it can be more easily treated.
• Papanicolaou and HPV tests: Cervical cancer can often be prevented with regular checks, which help identify abnormalities that can develop into cancer.
• Blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and regularly monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels can prevent complications.

Advantages of early detection: Early detection of diseases such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and heart disease significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. If detected in the early stages, treatments are often less invasive, more effective and have a higher success rate. This underlines the importance of having regular check-ups and tests.
