@allthings_womenshealth: We need to have respectful, open discussions about healthcare disparities without them turning into debates. While everyone faces health challenges, it’s crucial to acknowledge and address specific issues: • Gender Health Gap: Women often experience delayed diagnoses and misdiagnoses. For example, it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose endometriosis. • Underrepresentation in Research: Only 11% of the National Institutes of Health’s budget is allocated to women’s health research, leading to less effective treatments for women. • Pain Bias: Women, especially Black women, are more likely to have their pain overlooked or underestimated by healthcare professionals. By recognising these disparities, we can work towards a more equitable healthcare system for all. #en#endometriosisn#endometriosisawarenesso#womenshealthcareM#PMMDM#PMMDsymptomsn#endometrosissymptomsh#ChronicIllnessAwarenesse#menstrualcyclech#chronicpaini#hiddendisabilitiesc#pcosawarenesspc#pcose#pelvichealthh#chronicpelvicpaine#pelvicfloore#periodsh#chronicillnesse#periodtalke#menstruatione#menstruationmatterse#menstrualcycleu#lutealphaseo#follicularphasev#ovulatione#femalehealtho#hormonalimbalancen#EndMedicalGaslightinge#menopausee#perimenopaused#adenomyosis
