@dr.vivianasamoah: 🩺 Gender bias in medicine doesn’t always look dramatic. Often, it shows up in smaller clinical decisions: which symptoms get investigated further, how quickly additional testing is ordered, and what gets labeled as “normal.” Research has repeatedly shown that women can experience delays in diagnosis across a range of conditions, especially when symptoms overlap with things commonly attributed to hormones, menstruation, stress, or anxiety. That doesn’t mean every abnormal result requires extensive testing. It means your symptoms, history, response to treatment, and changes over time should all be considered together. ⚖️ Good medicine is not about treating everyone identically. It’s about giving every patient the same level of clinical attention and appropriate investigation. If you feel like something in your health story still doesn’t add up, it may be worth taking a closer look. #fyp #trending #GutHealth #IntegrativeGI #gastroenterology
