Female-Specific Injuries

Female-specific injuries refer to injuries or conditions that primarily affect women due to biological, anatomical, or hormonal differences. Common examples include pelvic pain from conditions like endometriosis, ligament injuries related to pregnancy or childbirth, and stress fractures linked to female athletic triad (low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and osteoporosis). These injuries highlight the importance of understanding women's unique health needs and ensuring appropriate preventive measures and treatments. Awareness of these issues can improve women's health outcomes and promote targeted care in both sports and general medical practices.
