Rheumatoid Arthritis in Women: Why Care Needs to Be Different

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is more than just a joint disease; it is an autoimmune disease that affects women at every stage of life. With changes due to hormonal shifts, pregnancy, menopause and the overwhelming demands of family, work and life, women with RA face many more challenges than are often considered.

Did you know? Women are 2–3 times more likely to develop RA than men, and early signs such as stiffness, fatigue, or mild swelling are often ignored or mistaken for stress or ageing, leading to delayed diagnosis.

With early detection and proper care, RA can be managed effectively, helping women maintain an active and healthy life.
