Self-Care Education
What Exactly is Self-Care?
Self-care can mean many things, but at Modern Women’s Health, it refers to literally taking care of yourself through a range of avenues in order to feel your best. This can include:
- Optimizing your nutrition and eating well
- Undergoing a weight loss plan if needed
- Exercising regularly
- Drinking plenty of water
- Avoiding alcohol and caffeine
- Not smoking or indulging in drugs
- Meditation or another form of relaxation therapy
Self-Care for Specific Conditions
If you visit us for a specific condition such as a weak pelvic floor, irregular periods, menopause symptoms, endometriosis, etc., we can educate you on things you can do at home to help alleviate pain, prevent flare-ups, and live your life more comfortably.
We are able to educate you on self-care for vaginal and breast issues, cancer, heart disease, the female organs, menopause and perimenopause, anxiety and depression, hormonal imbalance, and much more.
Self-Care Post-Procedure
If you’re undergoing a procedure with us, no matter how small or extensive, we will provide you with detailed self-care instructions to help any recovery go smoothly. Self-care during recovery can include anything from taking pain medications to avoiding sun exposure. It’s also very important to rest and not push yourself to go back to work too quickly if a procedure or surgery requires a certain amount of downtime. Different surgeries and procedures will have different self-care guidelines.
