Popular Health Care Topics for Women Veterans

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age, and women Veterans are no exception.

  • VA provides maternity coverage and care coordination to help create a seamless maternity care experience.

  • If you are having challenges building your family, you are not alone. At VA, we understand that trying to build your family can place stress on you and your relationships. We are here to support you. VA covers a wide range of fertility treatments, procedures, and services.

  • Diabetes affects the way your body produces and uses insulin. In patients who are diabetic, the body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes effectively. This leads to elevated sugar levels in your bloodstream, which can cause serious health problems such as heart disease, vision loss, kidney disease, numbness, and weakness.
