CBD and Women's Health

Women's health requires special attention, as women's health presents different demands than men's, especially when it comes to the female reproductive system. And even in social issues, women are more likely to experience stress and develop mental problems, such as anxiety, depression, and anorexia.

CBD can be a good ally in women's health care.

Several scientific studies have proven the effectiveness of CBD in treating conditions that are especially common in women. Let’s look at three areas where CBD can help:

• Endometriosis – is a pathology characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue, that is, the tissue that lines the uterus inside the cavity, which grows outside the uterine cavity and ends up lodging itself in the pelvis in 90% of cases, implanting itself in organs located there, namely the fallopian tube, ovary, and uterus. It can also implant itself in other nearby organs, such as the bladder and intestine, or in even distant places: the diaphragm, lung, or brain. In Portugal, 1 in 10 women of reproductive age are affected by this pathology. It can cause a lot of discomfort and pain, and in more severe cases requires hospitalization. According to a study carried out in Paris , cannabinoids have antiproliferative and antifibrotic properties, in addition to their psychogenic and analgesic effects, and are therefore considered promising for treating the disease.

• Menstrual pain and PMS – during the reproductive phase, women face several challenges to their feminine health. Among them are cramps and menstrual pain. To reduce this discomfort and hormonal changes, many women use CBD, as it acts not only as a powerful painkiller, but also helps regulate the hormonal system, thus avoiding constant mood swings.

• Fibromyalgia - is a chronic disease characterized by painful and diffuse neuromuscular complaints, but also by the presence of pain points in specific regions. This disease affects around 2% to 8% of the adult population. Of these, between 80% and 90% of cases are women aged between 30 and 50 years. It results in increased anxiety and depression. CBD can be a good ally, as it is a potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic, and has no side effects on the stomach. In addition, it regulates the hormonal system, preventing feelings of depression and anxiety. There are other pathologies in which CBD can be a good ally in women's health, such as arthritis, chronic pain, depression, anxiety and others.

Taking care of our health is essential, and CBD can be our best friend, not only because it contains several medicinal properties, but also because it is a 100% natural product and has no side effects.

May we take care of women's health in the best possible way. If you liked this article, share it with your friends.
