FLASH! American Medical Association Discovers Women Are Not The Same As Men!

GET THE STORY.

What isn’t covered in this story is that, despite suggestions to the contrary, men’s health is also under-researched. Womens’ health issues attract funding in a way greatly disproportionate to mens’ health issues. For example, far more has been done regarding the study, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer than prostate cancer.

Still, while both genders need their distinctive health issues to be better researched, it is a very positive sign that there is a growing awareness that the genders experience health problems differently and may need different treatments even for the same problem. In the future, this will allow both men and women to have better health and better health care.

  1. Actually this is old news. I think years ago I read an article on CNN that human may have different gender specific reaction to certain medication. This prompt the thought of prescribing a women only and men only drugs.

  2. There also seem to be broad differences among racial and ethnic groups in metabolism of and effects of medications.
