Female Reproductive Health diaries
What are they?
-
They are an easy way to record symptoms that you can choose to share with your Ob/Gyn nurse or doctor
-
They should respect your dignity, privacy, and rights, with you having complete and transparent ownership of all your data
-
They should be available for use when the symptoms happen, wherever you are
They represent the link between your daily lives and us...
We think every woman should have them...
Why?
-
A change in menstruation or uterine bleeding represents a fundamental change in female biology
-
It can be indicative of an underlying disease, that is at an early stage
-
Early detection, diagnosis and treatment of any disease is easier to perform, and reduces detrimental quality of life impacts
