5 common diseases in women

From a medical perspective, you need to listen to the changes in your own body, take care of yourself! Here are the signs of 5 common diseases in women.

1. Migraine

According to the World Health Organization, women suffer from migraines twice as often as men. Migraines are the most common disease in women. Today, most “traditional” drugs that affect the arteries do not relieve the disease. The disease has nothing to do with hormones or stress factors, the cause may be due to the “over-sensitivity” of nerve fibers.

Signs of a Migraine

+The disease often appears early in women

+Severe pain, often localized on one side of the head

+Nausea and vomiting can sometimes cause hallucinations

+Usually about 4 pain attacks per month, sometimes disappearing after a few years

Allergies are common in women, which sometimes causes “questions”! Sometimes you do not pay attention to the signs of the disease when it is not serious. It could be due to:
