Venous circulation disorders, intimate discomfort, insomnia, complaining stomach, painful menstrual cycles, restless menopause. For women, the stress of an increasingly complex and difficult life reverberates on health much more than for men. For this you need one tailor-made response, also to limit the onset of discomfort that can in some way impact on the quality of life. In full respect of female physiology and at any age. If it is true that men generally have a more stable nervous response, while in women this is influenced by the phase of the hormonal cycle, there is no doubt that it is necessary to develop a path of knowledge and awareness of one’s body for women from a young age. Women’s health arises from a path that begins in adolescence with education that is transmitted both by the gynecologist and by the family, and then continues throughout life. On this “road” to well-being, the pharmacy represents a point of reference. And it is no coincidence that right in the pharmacy, on the occasion of the 9th edition of National Women’s Health Dayscheduled for April 22nd, Prodeco Pharmaan Italian company that operates internationally in the field of natural medicine, relaunches its commitment to women’s well-being and health through a series of dedicated initiatives.
Pay attention to lifestyles
With the project “Friend of Women”launched in 2021 in collaboration with ONDA Foundation, the national observatory on women’s and gender health, Prodeco Pharma aims to promote female psychophysical well-being, bringing more and more women closer to prevention and a healthy lifestyle. The initiative integrates into the company’s strategic framework on sustainability, which it is committed to promote people’s health and disseminate a holistic and natural approach to well-being, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 3 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Through a large network of pharmacies, parapharmacies and herbalists throughout Italy and a dedicated web portal, the initiative offers specialized consultancy services, food plans designed for the different therapeutic areas, training events and advice for choosing the phytotherapeutic solution best suited to the needs of each one, placing itself as a point of reference alongside women in the different stages of life.
A 360 degree commitment
Prodeco Pharma’s commitment to women’s health is also confirmed through its support for Fondazione Onda during H-Week. From 18th to 24th April the hospitals of the Bollini Rosa network that have joined the initiative will offer free clinical, diagnostic and information services in the main therapeutic areas, in the name of prevention and treatment for women. “At Prodeco Pharma we care about the well-being of women in all stages of life, from puberty to menopause, to pregnancy: through our initiatives we want to increase awareness of women’s issues and provide concrete support – underlines Giovanni Catania, Deputy Director General of Prodeco Pharma. All our partnerships are driven by value alignment, a strong focus on process ethics and sustainability, as an integral part of our ESG strategy. An example of this is our Amica delle Donne network through which we will launch several during the year free initiativeslike it cystitis screening of April, the analysis of venous circulation of the legs from May to July and a few days of checkups to monitor a series of important parameters for women’s health, such as body mass index, hydration level and postural quality with the involvement of a nutritional biologist”.
All eyes on cystitis
From 15 to 30 April, as part of the “Pink Agenda for women’s prevention” campaign, more than 1500 pharmacies, parapharmacies and herbalist’s shops of the “Amica delle Donne” network throughout the national territory will activate a service dedicated to the prevention of female gynecological health and cystitis. It will be distributed while supplies last free “Urinary Tract Infection” test, which allows you to highlight any anomalies in the urinary tract and pharmacists will offer advice and dietary guide plans specifically designed for cystitis disorders. This inflammation of the bladder is most often of bacterial origin. And it can trigger uncomfortable symptoms, including pain or burning during urination, constant need to empty the bladder, suprapubic pain, and sometimes blood loss in the urine.
“Cystitis and urinary tract infections often recur due to incorrect eating and behavioral habits or the improper use of antibiotics: data show that one in four women has a recurrence of cystitis within six months of the first episode and 30% of women with acute cystitis develop a recurrent form with more than three episodes a year explains Giovanna Rossi, Gynecologist and President of the Agorà Center for Women’s Health in Bologna. – Important numbers that make it clear how fundamental it is to intervene in prevention, educating on correct lifestyles. Remedies of natural origin can also offer precious support, with emollient and soothing effects that contribute to re-establishing the microbial balance of the organism”.
