WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE JOURNEY 

At birth- confirm she is a female with normal outer organs, hopefully she is the desired gender

Birth-Puberty; check for proper growth; if breasts/menses arrives too early or too late, fear, threat & panic

Teens; menstrual pain, heavy menses,

fear of unwanted pregnancy, STIs, ectopic, forced marriage 

20s- Pressure to marry & make babies, delay to do so; family meeting & another set of panic

30s- Raising babies or pressure from 20s transmitted forward if still single or yet to make babies 
Know your breast well

30s continued
Do regular cervical cancer screening, Fibroids can start showing symptoms 

40s- Doing 30s again, warming up for menopause, high blood pressure,all sorts of medical conditions may set it, watch out for breast disease/cancers.
Must start regular breast screening

50s- menopause, prolapse, risk of different types of cancers
Check up must be regular

60s/70s- Living with all of these but must still do 'omuguo' for the next generation; travel all over the country/world

May our journeys be smooth & healthy

Add more to the journey
