Lifelong Health Considerations for Women with Spina Bifida
Women with Spina Bifida experience distinct health considerations throughout their lives, including puberty, reproductive health, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. These needs evolve over time and require care that is informed, accessible, and proactive.
When women with Spina Bifida are excluded from healthcare decisions, critical needs can be overlooked. Inclusion leads to better communication, better care, and better health outcomes.
The Spina Bifida Association’s Women’s Health Guideline highlights the importance of proactive, patient-centered healthcare for women with Spina Bifida.
