Women's Health and Parkinson's disease

Summary

More understanding is needed of women’s health issues and how it affects the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's. Understanding how this disease impacts women in the less discussed areas including sexual dysfunction, menstrual cycle, menopause, pregnancy and hormonal medications such as contraceptives, nutrition, technology, personal relationships/support networks, can help us understand where future research should focus, and possible treatments should be directed.
