Abstract
About half of all inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are women. It is important that physicians are aware of gender-specific needs women with IBD may have. This review covers general and specific women's health issues related to their IBD. It is intended to be practical and give a brief overview of topics including body image, menstruation, contraception, cervical cancer screening, preconception counseling, anxiety, depression, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, skin exams, vaccines, laboratory monitoring and bone health.
