Women’s Health

Women encounter a wide range of health concerns throughout their lives, and one of the most frequent is managing their menstrual cycle and the discomfort it can bring. From an early age, menstruation becomes a regular part of life, and while consistent periods are typically a sign of good reproductive health, irregular, heavy, or painful periods may point to underlying issues.

Unless you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, postmenopausal, or have a specific medical condition, you should expect to have regular periods. If your cycle is unpredictable, painful, or unusually heavy, it’s important to seek advice. These issues can also affect fertility. Medications like birth control pills or period delay tablets may be prescribed to regulate or postpone your cycle. At Layanson Pharmacy, our pharmacists are available to advise you on treatment options and discuss any medication you’re considering.

Supporting Every Stage of a Woman’s Life

Women’s health is not just about reproductive care. Many women also face challenges such as:

• Mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder

• Hormonal fluctuations related to menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause

• Postpartum depression and emotional changes are tied to hormonal shifts

These experiences are common, and at Layanson Pharmacy, we aim to support you every step of the way. We provide confidential, compassionate advice and can prescribe appropriate medications where needed. If further help is required, we’ll guide you on when to consult your GP.

Key Health Concerns Affecting Women

One of the most serious health risks for women is breast cancer. It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women across all ages and ethnic groups. While aging is a major contributing factor, genetics and family history also play significant roles. If you have two or more close female relatives with breast cancer, your GP may recommend earlier or more frequent screening.

Women are encouraged to begin regular mammogram screenings at age 40 and continue annually. Early detection plays a vital role in successful treatment. If you have been diagnosed, Layanson Pharmacy is here to provide medication support and guidance to help manage your treatment journey.
