Ser mujer es perjudicial para la salud

Did you know that menstrual pain can be as intense as a heart attack? That before 1993, most clinical studies didn't include women? That, if you're a woman, it takes you, on average, two years longer than a man to receive a medical diagnosis? That diseases that primarily affect women, such as endometriosis, are the most under-researched? It's always been said that health is the most important thing, but when you look at the data, it seems this doesn't apply to women: misdiagnoses and delayed diagnoses, untested medications, side effects, diagnostic violence... The gender gap in health is as evident as it is outrageous, and it negatively affects all aspects of women's lives. In "Being a Woman Is Detrimental to Your Health", this inequality is addressed directly, accessibly, and in a highly informative way, exploring women's health and its specific characteristics.
