Women’s health encompasses a broad range of physical, mental, and emotional well-being aspects unique to females throughout their lifespan. It includes topics like reproductive health, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, menopause, and beyond. Understanding and managing these aspects is crucial for overall health and quality of life.

Clue is a popular period and fertility tracking app designed to help women better understand their bodies and cycles. It allows users to log their menstrual cycle details, including flow intensity, symptoms, and mood changes. By tracking this data over time, Clue can predict future periods, identify patterns, and provide personalized insights. Clue also offers educational resources on various women’s health topics, making it a valuable tool for self-awareness and informed decision-making.
