"Women are also believed to have a greater capacity to cope with pain because of the pain that accompanies menstruation and childbirth. These stereotypes mean women’s pain is viewed as “natural” and “normal”." Catch the latest in @ConversationUK series on women's health below ⬇️
The dismissal of women’s pain also leads to long delays in diagnoses and treatment for conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis.

🗓️ April 7 is #WorldHealthDay23 There can be no #HealthForAll if half the world’s population is left behind! We're challenging the assumption that medicine, and research behind medical interventions, is sex and gender neutral. @GeorgeInstUK @GeorgeInstIN

Reporting on first meta-analysis focussing on association between Mediterranean diet, CVD & death in women. Congrats @DrSarahjZaman & all authors
Really imp piece on why understanding sex differences in 🫀 disease matters: https://t.co/GLiImAyN7K Women develop, experience & present w/ disease differently to men, but the research doesn't always focus on women. More work is needed to understand & address these differences.
