Not quite at the right time – between March 8 and Mother's Day – we decided to talk about women's health. Simply because it deserves special attention every day. A woman is not only care, tenderness, and patience. She is also a body that has been living in emergency mode for many years. A body that is entrusted with a lot: to carry, give birth, recover – and continue to love, work, and live.

A woman's confidence does not begin with mimosa and congratulations, but with a normal blood test, a night of restful sleep, and a doctor who can explain things calmly and to the point. Therefore, in this issue, we will talk about postpartum changes and ways to diagnose them correctly, about cystourethritis, about the complex microflora of the vagina, and about which modern probiotics are worth trusting. We will also touch on preventive issues — from pregnancy planning to cancer awareness.

This issue also includes “non-feminine” topics for the sake of breadth of perspective and professional balance. But the most important thing is the care we put into every article. Because women's health is not just a medical issue. It is the foundation of the family, society, and the future. A woman's health is her smile, her peace of mind, and her strength.
