As you try and age gracefully, you need to be aware of more health issues specifically related to your gender. Growing older can be challenging on a superficial level. You might be anxious about the increasing number of gray hairs you spot and you may wince at the sight of your crow’s feet. However, more important than this are the physical and mental health issues that can crop up once you are over the age of thirty. Recent global health crises have made us look at our own lives more closely. Take a look at these women’s health issues that you should be aware of.

Fertility
If you are eager to get pregnant but it just isn’t happening for you, it’s crucial that you see a doctor. At the same time, you can’t expect to fall pregnant in the first month of trying for a baby. Things don’t tend to work so seamlessly. Instead, you need to try and remain stress-free and give it time. Enjoy practicing and try to relax, letting nature take its course. If, after nine months, you haven’t conceived, it may be time for medical assistance. Blood tests can check hormone levels and scans and procedures can assess the health of your uterus and reproductive system. If you have had an abortion in the past or if you have endured an ectopic pregnancy, doctors may want to check that there is no lingering after-effect from this. You also need to consider your partner’s potential fertility issues. This might not be your issue, after all.
Anxiety
More women than men tend to develop anxiety at some point in their lives. The global pandemic that we are currently enduring has seen the world have to adapt to a new normal. This has been a challenge for everyone to contend with. If you are feeling anxious and struggling to sleep, you need to begin focusing on your mental health. Look into taking part in some yoga sessions to strengthen your core and to help you develop breathing exercises that allow you to channel your thoughts down more positive avenues.
Consider taking up a new hobby and follow a passion to help develop a more positive mindset. If you want to learn a new language, go for it. If you fancy cake decorating classes, enrol. And if you want to write a novel, start the first chapter.

Psoriasis
If you haven’t been touched by psoriasis, don’t assume that it will never occur. Many women in their thirties experience this skin condition for the first time due to an autoimmune response. Ensure that you moisturize regularly to keep your skin hydrated. Drink plenty of water, steer clear of the sugar-laden snacks, and eat plenty of green vegetables. Psoriasis involves your skin cells reproducing at an accelerated rate. Three times as many women are affected than men. This could be due to a hormonal imbalance that is more prominent in women.
If you are eager to alleviate your worries about your health, heed the advice of this guide. Being prepared is the best armory you can have for potential health issues.
