Medical Marijuana and Women’s Health

One of the oldest remedies for pain has reemerged as a potential therapy for a variety of women’s health conditions. If you’ve tried different treatments for certain psychiatric disorders, pain, or the effects of some cancer treatments, but still struggle with symptoms, medical cannabis can provide the relief you’ve been searching for. But it’s most effective if managed by a physician who understands how to successfully integrate it into a holistic care plan.

Dr. Becky Lynn is a nationally-renowned expert in female-focused cannabis care. In addition to sitting on the board of the Cannabis Science & Operations Program at Saint Louis University, Dr. Lynn was the lead author of a prominent study that identified the positive relationship between marijuana use and sexual function in women.

Unlike other doctors who sign your medical marijuana card and send you off to your local dispensary, Dr. Lynn works one-on-one with you to develop a care plan you’re comfortable with—one that maximizes benefits and minimizes potential side effects

34% of women who reported using marijuana before sexual activity said it increased their sex drive, improved orgasm, and decreased pain.

The Conditions Medical Cannabis Treats

Medical marijuana has been shown to ease many of the conditions that impact a woman’s health. Certain disorders are often connected to the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is a network of receptors in our nervous system. The compounds that bind to these receptors are endocannabinoids, which help regulate the body’s functions. When their work is disrupted, we start to feel the effects physically, emotionally, and mentally. Plant-derived cannabinoids can step in to help return the body to balance and restore our well-being.

Relief From Pain Without the High

The biggest misconception women have about medical marijuana and the number one reason they hesitate to take advantage of its benefits is the concern that they’ll be left too stoned to manage their daily activities. At Evora Women’s Health®, our goal is to treat your condition with THC to provide relief while combining it with CBD which has been shown to help counteract your high. Dr. Lynn believes in starting low and going slow until landing on the safest and most effective dose for you, whether you prefer an edible or a tincture.

“The link between weed and increased female sex drive has to do with three things THC does to the mind and body: It ‘reduces your anxiety, so you might feel more comfortable, and it slows down the perception of time and causes heightened sensations.’”

– Dr. Becky Lynn, Boston Magazine
