Women's asthma linked to hormonal changes
One in five adult women lives with asthma, with hormones like oestrogen and progesterone playing a significant role in regulating airway inflammation. Women can experience worsening asthma symptoms during menstrual cycles, puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. Asthma Australia has launched a national campaign to raise awareness of this connection, encouraging women to recognise symptoms and discuss hormonal impacts with their GP rather than dismissing asthma as something that can be managed reactively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
