Your body is no different. The information found in the WSUS Men's Health Guide will help guide you through the steps necessary to get the most out of life. If you have invested in a retirement plan for your financial future, why not invest in your body? After all it makes better sense to retire healthy and enjoy your future. You can also view the video library of the Men's Health Guide. This is a guide for how to take care of your body. If you take care of your car and maintain it, why not do the same for your personal machine, your body. If you know you should, but haven't yet, this manual contains some easy recommendations for where, when and how to get started. The Washington State Urology Society, along with the physicians and specialties represented in this manual want you to take care of yourself. Use this manual to find out how, and keep it for a handy reference. Sincerely, Richard S. Pelman, MD Men's Health Chair Washington State Urology Society __________________________________________________________________________ WOMEN'S HEALTH With the fast pace of life, it can be difficult for many of us to find the time to take proper care of ourselves. Although there is a plethora of health-related information available on the Web and in the media, it is often challenging to identify helpful and precise information on which to base our healthcare decisions. Several years ago, the Men’s Health Initiative created a Guide to Men’s Health that has been very well-received. Consequently, it seemed fitting to proceed with a women’s version of the Guide to provide brief and accurate information for the women in our community. Contained in this booklet is information ranging from nutrition, alternative medicine, cancer screening and treatment options to treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse. The chapters are brief, but are designed to provide core information to keep you and the women in your life updated on fundamental issues that may affect their overall health and well being. We hope you find this Guide to be helpful and would welcome any feedback should there be other topics that might be useful! Kathleen Kobashi, MD - WSUS Women's Health Chair |
