Gendered Medicine

Gendered medicine refers to the understanding that men and women can experience different symptoms, responses to treatments, and health risks due to biological and hormonal differences. Historically, medical research often focused primarily on men, leading to gaps in knowledge about women's health needs. Recognizing gender differences aims to improve diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare for everyone by tailoring approaches based on these biological and social factors. This helps ensure more accurate care, reduces disparities, and supports better health outcomes across genders.
