Senior Women’s Health
Menopause is a time of change and new priorities for many women. This can also be a time of life when hormonal fluctuations cause mood changes and other unique medical conditions that may need treatment. Your primary health care provider can help guide you through the ever-changing treatment options for menopause-related symptoms.
Incontinence, or the inability to manage bladder function, is a common condition among women, especially after childbirth or during menopause. Some women may feel awkward discussing incontinence concerns with their physician; however, with today’s advances in treatment options, physicians are able to treat incontinence with great success.
Holy Cross Hospital’s community health program offers a number of classes for seniors designed to promote fitness and strength, nutritional status, screenings for various health conditions, and supportive relationships with friends, family, and throughout our community.
