Assalamu alaikum my dear sisters! I hope you’re all doing well🤍 No judgment here. What women’s health questions do you wish we talked about more openly in our Muslim communities?
As a Muslim woman and medical graduate, lately, I’ve been really interested in the intersection between women’s health and the deen.
I’ve noticed there are so many things Muslim women experience but don’t always feel comfortable talking about openly.
I’d genuinely love to hear from you. Have you ever had a health question or situation where you wished someone would explain to you from both a medical and Islamic perspective?
It could be:
• Periods, irregular bleeding, or understanding what counts as menstruation
• PCOS or other hormonal issues
• Fertility or trying to conceive
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Sexual or reproductive health
• Menopause
• Mental health
• Finding healthcare that understands and respects your religious needs
• Questions about what your health means for salah, fasting, ghusl, or other acts of worship
• Or something completely different that isn’t on this list
And it doesn’t have to be one of these. If something comes to mind, what was the actual question or situation you were struggling with? And it could be sitting completely different as well.
If you’d rather not share something publicly, please feel free to DM me. 🤍 I completely understand that some health questions are personal, and I’d genuinely love to hear your experience.
No judgment at all🤍.
