Gender Disparity in Medical Pain Diagnosis and Treatment

Women face gender disparities in medical pain diagnosis and treatment, with their symptoms often dismissed or misdiagnosed compared to men. This leads to delays in receiving appropriate care and can have severe consequences, including fatal outcomes. Despite advancements in modern medicine, women still experience bias and gaslighting from healthcare providers, highlighting the urgent need for change in the medical system. It is crucial to bridge the knowledge gap and conduct more research on female pain and physiology to ensure that all individuals receive equal and timely medical attention.
