8 Warning Signs of Female Health Problems Women Often Ignore

4. There are blood clots in your period.

Everyone’s period is different — it can be lighter, darker, heavier, and so on. And it’s absolutely okay if you notice a clot or 2 every once in a while. However, if your blood turns dark and the clots are consistent and huge in size, this could be a sign that you have uterine fibroids. These non-cancerous growths in your uterus can cause abnormal bleeding and even bladder issues.

3. You have no interest in your favorite foods.

Do you feel full all the time and have difficulty finishing even a small meal? Have you completely lost your appetite recently? All these changes in your usual eating habits could be a sign of ovarian cancer, especially if they are combined with abdominal pain and changes in your bowel habits.

2. You’re losing your hair.

Hair loss is one of the visual symptoms of low testosterone, a hormone that supports healthy hair production and its maintenance. A sure sign of an imbalance is patchy hair on your head that can develop into baldness over time.

Your body hair can also be affected, though this symptom could be less noticeable, especially if you regularly shave your legs and armpits.

1. You’re always too hot or too cold.

If you can never feel comfortable at room temperature, you probably have a hormonal imbalance. One of the reasons for such an imbalance could be in your levels of estrogen, a hormone that regulates female reproduction. Normally, its levels change throughout your life and throughout your menstrual cycle, but sometimes there could be problems with its production in your body.

Estrogen levels can affect your body temperature. As a rule, low estrogen causes hot flashes and high estrogen, on the contrary, makes you feel cold in your hands and feet all the time.

We wish you to stay healthy and never experience any of these symptoms. But if you do, please consult your doctor as soon as possible. And don’t forget to share this information with your family and friends!
