When it comes to their health, women are in the best position to recognize the signs that something is wrong. They know their bodies. Oftentimes, they are taking care of their families. Whether they're experiencing a urinary tract infection or a symptom of menopause, it isn't in their head—it's in their body and they are feeling it. When they suspect something is wrong and they tell their doctor about it or ask their doctor to check whether everything is okay, the doctor should listen to them.
