19/09/2025

Women with Down syndrome and their caregivers often find it difficult to navigate some of the nuances around women’s health. Women with Down syndrome experience similarities and differences in women’s health compared to women without Down syndrome. In this webinar, Dr. Graham will provide an overview of women’s health in Down syndrome and discuss approaches for patient-centered care. Topics covered will include menstruation, PMS, HPV vaccines, cancer screening, pelvic exams, birth control, and menopause. Resources for families and caregivers will also be discussed.
