Dr. Amina's Guide | A Practical Guide to Understanding Your Body
Why am I writing this series?
For a long time, we may have accepted women's bodily changes and discomforts as something "unavoidable."
Menstrual fluctuations, anxiety about fertility treatment, changes before and after childbirth, menopausal symptoms, discomfort in intimate areas, and pelvic floor muscle issues.
While some things are deeply connected to our daily lives, it can be difficult to talk to someone about them or to find accurate information.
Dr. Amina's Guide will organize such body changes and concerns in an easy-to-understand way, from the perspectives of medicine, systems, self-care, and technology.
The important thing is not to fuel anxiety, but to understand your own body, consult when necessary, and be able to choose options that suit you.
We hope this series will help make your body and life a little easier.
