What role do body image and self-esteem play in gynecological health?
Body image and self-esteem significantly impact gynecological health. Women who struggle with poor body image may be less likely to seek medical care, leading to untreated conditions. Issues such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity can further complicate self-esteem, creating a cyclical pattern of psychological and physical health problems. Addressing these concerns through counseling and support is vital for comprehensive care.
