Women's and men's health

Gender medicine has only been studied for a few years and it was discovered that there are not only illnesses that are gender-specific, but that illnesses are also experienced completely differently, which often leads to misdiagnosis.
One example is a heart attack, which can affect both sexes but is often discovered “by chance” in women, as they are less sensitive to pain and suffer more frequently from atypical, vague symptoms.
Men, on the other hand, suffer more frequently from typical crushing pain in the chest area and are therefore more likely to seek help immediately.

Women's health:

Women’s health includes specific aspects such as reproductive health and prevention of breast and cervical cancer.
Women often have different hormonal changes throughout their lives that can have an impact on their health.
Regular gynecological examinations, mammograms and maintaining a healthy weight are important aspects of women’s health.
In addition, women should be aware that they are at increased risk for osteoporosis, which requires adequate bone health.

Men's health:

Men’s health is often characterized by specific challenges.
Heart disease, cancer and diabetes are common health problems in men.
Regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for prevention.
In addition, men are often less willing to talk about their health problems, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Raising awareness of the importance of one’s own health and openness towards medical care are key factors.

However, many medications are also metabolized differently in men and women and can therefore have a different effect.
Men’s and women’s health have both similarities and differences that require specific consideration and addressing.
The subtle adaptation at the cellular level could help to promote balance in the organism and support the health of men and women individually.

Care and maintenance of health

Breast cancer screening: Regular mammograms and clinical breast examinations are crucial for the early detection of breast cancer.
Stress reduction: Due to the double burden of family and career, women are experiencing an increased incidence of mental illnesses such as burnout.
Cardiovascular diseases are also becoming more common among women as a result.
Infertility prevention: Women who are trying to conceive should have a gynecological examination at an early stage to detect possible fertility problems.
A healthy lifestyle can promote fertility.

Prostate cancer screening: Regular screening tests, including the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and rectal examinations, can help in the early detection of prostate cancer.
Healthy lifestyle: A balanced diet, physical activity and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are key to reducing the risk of prostate and cardiovascular disease.
and cardiovascular diseases.
Infertility prevention: Men who want to become fathers should avoid potentially harmful environmental influences such as electrosmog, cell phone radiation and particulate matter in order to maintain fertility.

Diseases and symptoms

Breast cancer: Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women.
Genetic factors play a role here, as do hormone preparations, diet, environmental factors and the immune system.
Mental illnesses: Women have a higher risk of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) than other groups of people.
Infectious diseases often lead to infertility in women.
As sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise again in Germany, it is advisable to take preventative measures, consult a gynecologist immediately in the event of early suspicion and start treatment.

Cardiovascular diseases: Still the most common cause of death in men.
Influenceable risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases are hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus.
Prostate diseases: These include benign prostate enlargement (prostatic hyperplasia), prostate cancer (prostate carcinoma) and prostatitis, the inflammation of the prostate.
Infertility and erectile dysfunction: Problems with fertility (infertility) and erectile dysfunction can affect men’s quality of life.
