National Women's Health Week happens every May, kicking off on Mother's Day.
The goal of Women's Health Week is to remind women to make their health a priority. For example, if you've been dealing with bothersome issues, like an overactive bladder or uncomfortable menopausal symptoms, talk to your doctor. Your quality of life matters.
