From general health to care for ongoing conditions, Dr. Nadine Lindsay and the team at DelCare Health Solutions in Wilmington, DE offer personalized women's health for your goals and needs.
Importance of Women’s Health Care
It’s no secret that women lead busy lives. With neverending to-do lists and people to care for, it becomes almost second nature to put your own needs last. This is especially true when it comes to taking care of your health. However, Dr. Lindsay and the team at DelCare Health Solutions in Wilmington, DE share just a few reasons why you should nip this habit in the bud and begin making women’s health care a priority in your life.
Others Are Depending On You
One of the biggest reasons women put off their own healthcare appointments is that they are too busy taking care of others. That might be children, aging relatives, friends, or any number of other people.
Ironically, this is one of the reasons you should make your own health a priority. Those who you love and care for need you at your best. You can’t provide the care you so lovingly want to provide if you are not in good health yourself.
You Face Many Natural Challenges
Being a woman comes with many blessings, but it definitely comes with various challenges. These include but are not limited to pregnancy, menstruation, childbirth, and menopause – each of which can potentially cause health issues.
Additionally, most women are the primary caregivers whether they work or not. This can lead to not getting enough rest, fatigue, headaches, and various other issues.
There’s An Increased Risk of Certain Conditions, Injuries, and Illnesses
Women have unique challenges, such as those mentioned above, as well as challenges faced by both men and women. The difference is that women tend to have a higher risk for many of these challenges, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. It’s essential that these issues be detected and addressed early.
In addition to medical issues, women are at a higher risk of injury. Most safety equipment is generalized according to male sizes and features. Also, when safety tests are performed on vehicles, crash dummies typically fit the average size of males. This can leave women much more vulnerable. It’s important that you take control of your own health and safety.
Don’t put your health at the bottom of your priority list. Schedule a women's health appointment with Dr. Lindsay at DelCare Health Solutions in Wilmington, DE by calling (302) 467-1778.
