American Heart Month is an opportunity to consider all the ways your heart supports your body, and the habits you can embrace to protect your heart health.
Gabriela Olaru, MD, and the team at V Care OB/GYN in New York City can help you not only enjoy excellent women’s health but also guide improvements in your heart and overall health.
Here’s how you can make the most of your time at V Care OB/GYN.
Women’s health as a medical specialty focuses primarily on issues related to reproductive health. That includes conditions and diseases that affect a woman’s ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, and external genitalia. It also covers urinary function and breast health.
Because women’s bodies function differently from men's, women have a distinct set of health needs. That’s true regardless of whether a woman decides to become pregnant or not. So, a great deal of women’s health services center on reproductive health.
However, medical professionals who specialize in women’s health also receive full training in all aspects of human health and development. That means you can expect to receive additional guidance and support when you come in for routine women’s health services.
Your heart is the central, driving force that keeps you alive and well. When your heart health suffers, expect to encounter problems in virtually all other areas of your health and wellness.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in women. Determining your risk level for heart disease and working to boost your heart health are among the most impactful things you can do to remain healthy and strong.
During your next visit, ask Dr. Olaru how you can reduce your risk of heart disease and protect your heart from harm. She can guide you toward lifestyle changes that can help you manage your weight and nourish your body to keep your heart in great shape.
A holistic approach to health is simply an understanding of the interconnectivity between physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health. It recognizes that being truly healthy requires that all of those aspects receive care.
It also recognizes that when one area of health suffers, other areas also suffer. A great example is the toll that mental health issues like depression and anxiety take on your body, affecting how you feel and function daily.
Dr. Olaru is highly skilled in identifying areas where you can work toward improving your health and wellness. Just communicate your concerns during your next visit and ask for guidance. She can provide specific advice and refer you to a specialist if needed.
When you entrust the team at V Care OB/GYN with your women’s health needs, you receive far more than just top-quality OBGYN services. We’re here to help you set and achieve goals in all aspects of your health.
