Abstract


A well-known adage that dates back centuries is “health is wealth”. Health ought to be the top concern for any individual. In actuality, one of the objectives of sustainable development goals is health. The state of one’s health is paramount for a comprehensive human development. While everyone’s health matters, women’s health needs to be prioritized above all else. For the benefit of the society, women’s health is particularly important. A strong woman can lead to a strong family, which in turn strengthens the society. Women experience greater health challenges than men do. Health issues for women primarily arise during adolescence, pregnancy and maturation. A number of issues affect women including irregular periods, infertility, stress both inside and outside the home, mental health issues, various cancers like breast cancer, cervical cancer, menopause, osteoporosis and many more. Even in the modern world, women’s aesthetic care is highly valued. Skin care is regarded as an essential component of their health that cannot be disregarded.


In the globalised and modernised world, technology and social media are ruling the human world. There are numerous forums dedicated to discuss women’s health. In order to bring awareness among women, numerous social media platforms discuss women’s health in an open manner, addressing serious health issues as well as uncomfortable topics that women typically avoid discussing in public. A few of these platforms also provide solutions for issues that women encounter. This paper attempts to shed light on the several social media platforms that discuss women’s health, the issues they encounter, and most likely the solutions.
