Welcome to the New HealthyWomen.org!

authored by Elizabeth Battaglino Cahill

After 20 years serving your needs as the National Women's Health Resource Center, we've had a little work done and are proud to introduce you to the new face of women's wellness.

Welcome to HealthyWomen and our new Web site, HealthyWomen.org. For two decades we've been your source for objective, medically approved information—a veritable library that once was just a phone call away. Now, we're a click away.

With the advent of the Internet, our ability to serve more women better has grown exponentially. We want to be the first place you turn when your questions and concerns are keeping you up at night or nagging you during the work day.

With all of the information, expert advice, videos, blogs and opinions at your fingertips, we're meeting your needs more than ever by being that “go-to girlfriend”—a girlfriend who happens to be an industry expert! And who hasn't gotten by with a little help from her friends?

HealthyWomen is the source you can trust. Working with some of the country's leading health professionals, we ensure that our information is comprehensive, unbiased, thoughtful, engaging, timely and relevant—all condensed into simple, time-saving nuggets.

Whether you're looking for infertility advice, have questions about the benefits of flu vaccines or are concerned about options facing your aging parents as you find yourself part of the "sandwich generation," you know you can trust the information HealthyWomen has to offer—no matter how pressing or personal your concern.

So join us and look back on the last 20 years and recognize how far you've come—as a daughter, a friend and a woman. Stay informed and get empowered as we enter another decade of dedication, gaining strength along the way…because, after all, it's time to take care of you!

scarring alopecia

I need more help with my loss of hair then I have gotten. What vitamins or minerals or lotions, creams, shampoos and conditioners, etc. can I do that might help? I am 63 and have been losing hair on the top of my head and now I can see my scalp!! Have been to a dermatologist several times concerning this matter. Nothing works so far.

Hair Loss

I am 58 years old, and I have just noticed a few weeks ago that my hair is getting extremely thin on top. I went to my doctor, and she ran some blood work, which came back normal. She then examined my scalp and determined that it appears that I have female pattern baldness. My father had male pattern baldness, and it appears I have passed it on to my two sons who are in their late 20's. I felt terrible about having passed it on to them, and now it appears that I suffer from it too. It has totally consumed me since I have discovered the thinning. I work in sales, and meet with clients and coworkers each day. I have lost all self confidence. I have an appointment with a dermatologist in March, but I don't have much hope for healing. I have become very depressed, and cannot sleep at night. HELP!

Good Morning to all,

I have been glancing around the net and came accross this site so i started to read. It's ironic at times, one finds exactly what one needs. I found some very good articles and i am looking foward to reading many different topics which i can self educate. For right now school is not feasable.

Thank You.

Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain, Sex after menopause, ad nauseum !

I am thrilled to have found you !! On Thursday, 10-22-09, I happened to be listening to Dr. Radio on Sirius 114 on my way home from grocery shopping, feeling bad and in much pain from my Fibro when I heard your patient "host" Jenny (she has the blog ChronicBabe.com) and the Dr.'s speaking of chronic pain, Fibromyalgia and ways to ease chronic pain. Your website was mentioned, and here I am. You are now in my Favorites and I will be visiting every day!
