Childhood Trauma & Endo: The Hidden Link

Just learned that tough childhoods—like growing up around violence, loss, or family struggles—can seriously up your risk of endometriosis later in life. Swedish researchers found women with multiple childhood traumas had up to 60% higher risk, and those exposed to violence more than doubled their risk. Wild how mental and physical health are so connected! Makes you wonder how many women’s pain is being dismissed because docs aren’t seeing the full picture. #EndometriosisAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #WomensHealth #Health #BodyHealth

First Gyno Visit: Privacy or Parental Involvement?

My mom really wants to come with me to my first gynecologist appointment, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I want to know if I actually have any right to privacy or confidentiality at this age. Has anyone else dealt with this? How did you handle it? #WomensHealth #TeenTalk #PrivacyMatters #Health #BodyHealth

Cervical Screenings Just Got Less Frequent!

Big update for women aged 25-49: if you test negative for HPV, you’ll now get invited for cervical screenings every 5 years instead of every 3. Experts say it’s just as safe, and it means fewer awkward appointments if you’re in the clear. If you test positive for HPV, you’ll still get checked more often. The goal? Make screening easier and help catch issues early. Don’t skip your invite—early detection saves lives! #CervicalScreening #HPV #WomensHealth #Health #BodyHealth

Anyone else experience the Mirena crash?

I've noticed a lot of doctors don't really talk about how rough the Mirena crash can be. When I had mine removed, I felt totally blindsided by the symptoms. Wish there was more open convo about this—it's definitely not just in our heads! #MirenaCrash #WomensHealth #RealTalk #Health #BodyHealth

Why women's health still needs attention

I'm frustrated by how women's health issues are still overlooked in our healthcare system! From reproductive rights to research funding gaps, we're not getting equal treatment. I'm advocating for better care standards because our health matters just as much. Who else feels this way? #WomensHealth #HealthcareEquality #WomensRights #Health

Heart Care Inequality Exposed

Did you know women are 11% less likely than men to get specialist care for aortic stenosis—a deadly heart condition? And it gets worse: women are 39% less likely to get life-saving valve replacement surgery. The study also found big gaps for Black, South Asian, and poorer patients. Basically, who you are and where you live could decide if you get the treatment you need. How is this still happening in 2024? #HeartHealth #HealthcareInequality #WomensHealth #Health

Anyone else dealing with irregular periods?

I’m 22 and my periods have never been regular. Now they’ve just stopped completely and it’s freaking me out a bit. Doctors keep brushing it off and won’t even test for infertility. I feel stuck and not sure what to do next. Anyone else going through this? #WomensHealth #PeriodProblems #Infertility #Health #BodyHealth

My Real IUD Insertion Experience

Getting an IUD was way quicker than I expected. I was nervous about the pain, but it was over in a few minutes. The cramps after were real, but manageable. If you’re considering it, definitely talk to your doctor and ask all your questions! #IUDExperience #WomensHealth #Health #BodyHealth
