Mujeres invisibles para la medicina

Mujeres invisibles para la medicina

desvelando nuestra salud

Valls-Llobet, Carme

Why is it that when a man comes to the emergency room with chest pain he is immediately subjected to an electrocardiogram and when a woman who has identical symptoms is given an anxiolytic? Why is a stressed woman labeled hysterical and instead the man in all probability suffers the burden of responsibility? Why is it that women are required to achieve physical perfection and a man with gray hair and a curve of happiness is simply an interesting mature man? Why do women continue to be invisible to medicine? Breast cancer, cardiovascular diseases, untreated mental illnesses, still included under the sad Freudian label of hysteria, osteoporosis and other diseases associated with menopause are just a few examples that, along with anorexia or bulimia, Daughters of the tyrannical cult of the body, they cry out for a medicine adapted to women. Invisible Women for Medicine is an exciting journey through the different ins and outs of women's health, how they see themselves and how they allow others to see them. An essential document for all of them, whatever their age and needs, which claims the birth of a medicine adapted to the specific needs of women.
