Women’s Health Q&A

What is women’s health?

Pulse Primary Care specializes in women’s health care and offers a full suite of women’s health services and treatments.

Their approach to care means they take your health, lifestyle, and chronic conditions into account when creating your personalized care plan.

What types of health challenges do women face?

Women experience unique physical and mental changes as they age. Health challenges women face may include:

Abnormal bleeding

Suppose you are experiencing abnormal vaginal bleeding (not caused by period) or heavy bleeding. In that case, you should contact Pulse Primary Care and schedule a pelvic exam to detect any serious implications as early as possible.

Lab tests will help determine the cause of your condition.

Amenorrhea

Amenorrhea is the medical term for the lack of a menstrual period. Missing a period, when not caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause, might be a sign of a health problem or condition. Other associated symptoms may include excess facial hair, hair loss, headache, lack of breast development, and vision changes. Be sure to mention any concerns to your provider.

Menopause

Menopause occurs when you stop menstruating. The time leading up to menopause is called the menopausal transition (perimenopause). Typically, menopause occurs between ages 45 and 55, but each woman is unique. While a life without periods may be a welcomed relief for some women, often, the hormonal imbalances menopause brings are not.

Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, weight gain, and mood swings are common signs of menopause that can induce feelings of stress and anxiety. If you’re experiencing undesirable side effects of menopause, talk to Pulse Primary Care. They can help.
