Surveys consistently show that a significantly higher percentage of women with chronic medical conditions report use of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) approaches compared with men. A total of 54.5% of women report use of at least one CIM approach specifically for obstetric or gynecologic problems. However, primary care providers remain an underutilized resource by patients for guidance in the safe and appropriate use of integrative therapies. This article provides a practical overview of the most appropriate integrative therapies to consider in the management of commonly seen women's health conditions: polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopause, and osteoporosis.
调查一直显示,患有慢性疾病的女性报告使用补充和整合医学(CIM)方法的比例明显高于男性。共有54.5%的女性报告至少使用一种CIM方法专门用于治疗产科或妇科问题。然而,初级保健提供者仍然是患者在安全和适当地使用整合疗法方面未充分利用的资源。本文提供了在管理常见女性健康状况(多囊卵巢综合征、更年期和骨质疏松症)时应考虑的最合适的整合疗法的实用概述。
