Most of the medical questions about female problems or health questions are about
the feelings of grievances, frequent moods swings, depression, anxiety, fatigue, hot flashes and bloating.Generally, female problems arise due to hormonal imbalance in the body, be it as a result of menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause. Many women feel embarrassed or awkward to ask a medical question openly or clearly to their doctors or seek a medical help and wish for a natural treatment for these common problems. Here we are with some health information and simple solutions for common female health problems.
The compounds like genistein and phytoestrogens, naturally found in soy beans are considered to be very effective to monitor the fluctuating hormones. Soy isoflavones are tremendously useful in treating the menstrual cramps, bloating and related female issues. A soy product with an isoflavone extract of minimum 40 % and not more than 60 % is ideal to control womens problems. Depression and anxiety can be controlled by exercising regularly and adopting a healthy diet rich with proteins and minerals.
Another way to control the hormonal imbalance is proper intake of flaxseed powder. There are two hormonal metabolites, hydroxyestrone and alphahydroxyestrone, in a ratio of 2 as to 16 which is unique in every females body. Flaxseed lignans help maintaining this ratio constant and thus regulates the common problems faced by females.
A common problem faced by females is vaginitis or yeast infection. Some of the causes for vaginitis are excessive use of antibiotics, usage of oral contraceptives, obesity, diabetes, pregnancy, excessive or improper douching, vitamin B deficiency, the vaginal wall thinning due to menopause , and cuts or bruises in the genital area. Symptoms of vaginitis are vulval or vaginal itching, burning or irritation, frequent discharges, vaginal odor and painful urination after intercourse. A natural treatment for yeast infection is intake of garlic and yogurt as it contains acidophilus- a form of bacteria- which helps in curing the infection. Physicians also recommend diets with low fats and sugars to maintain the correct number of acidophilus in the body.
