Course Definition

Women’s health refers to health issues specific to human female anatomy. These often relate to structures such as female genitalia and breasts or to conditions caused by hormones specific to, or most notable in, females. Women’s health issues include menstruation, contraception, maternal health, child birth, menopause, and breast cancer. They can also include medical situations in which women face problems not directly related to their biology, for example gender-differentiated access to medical treatment.  This course is designed to teach you about your body and how to keep it healthy as you live your life to its fullest.
