Women and headaches
Three out of four migraine sufferers are women, according to the Office on Women’s Health, thanks in part to hormones that can cause headaches throughout the month and throughout numerous milestones. National Migraine & Headache Awareness Month offers a chance to take a closer look at what we’re experiencing and why.
What the Clinic Sofia team is looking forward to this summer
Now that summer has officially arrived, our team is looking forward to outdoor fun and adventure, new challenges, travel and fun time at home. We asked what they were more excited about and here is what they had to say.
Summer sun protection tips
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month—arriving just ahead of summer, it reminds us that skin cancer is America’s most common cancer, with more than 5 million cases diagnosed each year, and that good sun protection is essential. Most skin cancers are caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet or UV rays from the sun, which can damage skin cells.
Ask Sofia: When should I update my birth control method?
Birth control will never be a one-size-fits-all prescription and with the many options available today, you might try various forms of birth control across the years.
Why you should schedule your mammogram today
The pandemic led to many women canceling or not scheduling their annual mammograms. If you haven’t yet gotten back on track with your regular screenings, there is no time like the present for making an appointment.
Why volunteering is good for your health
Volunteering is not only good for community health—it is also great for your overall health and wellness. While contributing to a cause that you care about, you can enhance your physical, mental and emotional health. The Clinic Sofia team volunteers as a group each year for Haven Housing in addition to a variety of individual volunteer commitments to local community organizations.
