There are several medical secrets women should know. From back pain to infected hair follicles - you should know a lot about your own health.
From back pain to low libido, Lorraine Fisher reveals her pick of the top medical secrets that every woman should know.
Pre-menstrual syndrome
We can prevent irritable moods and water retention that usually occur before period by eating some magnesium. It boosts production of dopamine which is linked to mood. 270 mg of magnesium a day can be helpful.
Back pain
Women often suffer from lower back pain, especially before the period, during pregnancy and because of large breasts. Stomach exercises should help combat this problem, when stomach muscles support the back pain should be reduced.
Infected hair-follicles
This sometimes happens after waxing the body. First of all, you should try to avoid visiting swimming pools or jacuzzi for a couple days after waxing. Open hair follicles make women prone to infections which develop in warm and wet areas. What should women do? Take a shower before and after using the pool, don't go to places where spatulas are put in a large tub of wax.
Thrush
No yogurt will help, you should visit the doctor if you want to get rid of this fierce, burning pain. The Candida which causes the flare-up has to be treated with special medications for thrush, however, check whether you have bacterial vaginosis - one in three women gets it.
Sunbathing
Skin cancer risk makes many women be afraid to go out without putting themselves head-to-toe with sunblock. However, lack of sun can cause vitamin D deficiency which leads to rickets or osteoporosis. So women can easily go out outside during a sunny day without wearing sun cream.
Low libido
The loss of libido can be evoked by the onset of menopause but it can be treated with tibolone, a drug which is prescribed for hot flushes and osteoporosis
