Gender medicine, an emerging scientific discipline, is rising to this challenge. The question of why you should care about gender medicine is therefore highly relevant and we want to explore this in today&#8217;s blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\">Why should you deal with Gender Medicine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gender-specific disadvantages exist in medicine for both men and women. Gender-specific symptoms can be overlooked or misinterpreted due to unquestioned traditions, lack of knowledge or advantages. Gender-specific medicine is not just a trendy fad. It is an important scientific discipline that offers the opportunity to create a more equal healthcare system and thus save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\">What happens if Gender Medicine is not taken into account in healthcare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are possible negative consequences if biological and socio-cultural gender differences are not taken into account. Conceivable consequences would be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Misdiagnosis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delays in diagnosis or treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drug incompatibilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Therapy discontinuation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\">How can patients protect themselves?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ignorance is the greatest danger when it comes to protecting one&#8217;s own health. Therefore, building up your own knowledge is the best protection against ignorance. Health is not just about exercise, a varied diet and mental care. Health is also about researching, asking questions, informing yourself and changing your own thinking in some areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaway Points:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Why deal with gender medicine?<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gender-specific disadvantages in medicine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk of overlooking or misinterpreting gender-specific symptoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Consequences of not taking gender medicine into account<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delays in diagnosis and treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drug incompatibilities and therapy discontinuation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>How can patients protect themselves?<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Build up your own knowledge as protection against ignorance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For more Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EQUAL CARE certifies medical intervention with a balanced gender representation in data and evidence.
