Female diseases should not be underestimated
With the first unpleasant symptoms, a visit to a gynecologist is not only desirable, but even necessary. Why?
- Development of anemia. With severe bleeding, it can develop in a fairly short time. Treatment will be all the more difficult the later the disease is detected.
- Possibility of formation of fibroids. At advanced stages it is not treated, often leads to necrosis or infection. Myoma causes severe pain and other symptoms, sometimes even life-threatening. Refers to the most dangerous female diseases - treatment with herbs in this case is useless.
