While doctors and researchers are not entirely sure why particular illnesses affect women more commonly or differently than men, they have consistently observed such trends. Some are somewhat of a mystery, while others have a more defined cause. Either way, women are more likely to experience the following conditions, either more commonly or more distinctly: • Alzheimer’s disease • Anxiety and depression • Autoimmune disorders • Bladder control issues • Breast cancer • Heart disease • Osteoporosis • Sexually transmitted infections or diseases • Stroke • Urinary tract infections If you are looking for a family medicine clinic specializing in women’s health services, we would love to take you on as a client at Family Medicine Healthcare!
