Men and women have many of the same health issues, but their symptoms may be completely different. For example, heart attacks in women may be "silent" (without the chest pain that often heralds a heart attack in a man).

Some medical problems are more common in women than in men (depression, obesity, osteoarthritis), other conditions such as menopause and pregnancy are unique to women. Lifestyle factors, especially smoking, affect a woman's chance of developing diseases such as lung cancer that were previously thought to be more likely in men.

Health care for women includes the entire spectrum of a woman's life, not just pregnancy and childbirth.
