However, growing awareness of potentially carcinogenic ingredients in some products has raised concerns about ingredients and long-term exposure to these potentially toxic ingredients. As it can often be difficult to separate credible information from fear-driven messaging, in this editorial, we examine what the current evidence tells us, and how women can use that knowledge to make informed choices with confidence rather than fear.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is often recognized by its visible injuries, yet some of its deepest wounds cannot be seen. Long after the physical, verbal, or emotional abuse has ended, many women and girls continue to carry psychological scars that shape how they think, feel, relate to others, and navigate daily life. In this editorial, we examine what the science reveals about the long-lasting psychological effects of gender-based violence and how women can begin to recognize these patterns, understand why they persist, and access care grounded in evidence rather than assumption.

Fibroids are common, and many women may have them without experiencing symptoms. But when symptoms do occur, their impact can extend beyond the physical.

Living with chronic pain, heavy or unpredictable bleeding, fatigue from anemia, concerns about fertility or pregnancy, changes in body image, and the disruption of work, relationships, and daily life can contribute to stress, anxiety, low mood, and reduced quality of life. This editorial explores the impact of living with fibroids on women’s mental health; an often under explored aspect of fibroids and what the condition can mean for a woman’s mental wellbeing.
