Dr. Sameena Rahman: Historical Roots and Hormonal Realities of Women's Health

Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OB-GYN and medical advisor for Flo Health, shared insights in an interview with BuzzFeed regarding women's health.

She stated that the prevailing expectations for women's symptoms are rooted in historical discussions and the way women have been treated when seeking medical help.

Dr. Rahman observed a cultural trend where women are expected to, and sometimes do, endure their symptoms.

She highlighted that many women may not realize their distress is not solely due to factors like increased mental load, work stress, or family responsibilities.

Instead, hormonal fluctuations play a significant role by disrupting normal mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis.
