The Pain No One Takes Seriously: Women and the Silent Epidemic of Misdiagnosis

Did you know women wait an average of 35% longer than men to receive a pain diagnosis? It’s not because they “complain more.” It’s because the system often doesn’t believe them. Conditions like endometriosis, fibromyalgia, or chronic pelvic pain are dismissed for years as “stress.” That dismissal changes a woman’s relationship with her own body — she starts doubting her own suffering. Studies from Johns Hopkins show women are twice as likely to be told their pain is “psychological.” No wonder so many stop seeking help. If this sounds familiar: track your symptoms, bring data to your doctor, and don’t go alone. A witness changes the tone of a consultation more than you think. You deserve to be heard — not tolerated. #Health #WomenEmpowerment #MedicalBias
