Gynecological Health in Athletes

Gynecological health in athletes refers to the unique reproductive and menstrual health issues female athletes may face due to their training and competition. Intense physical activity can influence menstrual cycles, leading to irregularities like missed periods (amenorrhea) or heavy bleeding. Factors such as body weight, nutrition, and stress can also affect hormonal balance. Understanding these issues is crucial for maintaining overall health and performance. Women's sports medicine focuses on providing athletes with the knowledge and support they need to address these concerns, ensuring they can perform at their best while maintaining their reproductive health.
