There is a big knowledge gap in the medical system when it comes to treating women. The system still has a limited understanding of women’s health. However, we are making slow progress. To optimize women’s health, we must first understand menstrual cycle phases. As a woman moves through the menstrual cycle phases, she will have different strengths and needs during each phase.
Throughout history, women have been subjected to gaslighting when it comes to their pain and symptoms through claims of hysteria and frameworks of racism and misogyny. This belief is still prevalent in the medical system today and is why so many women go undiagnosed or dismissed for so long. However, by analyzing history and becoming our own advocates, we can shift the culture and the paradigm of how women are treated in the medical system in the US and worldwide.
Betrayal and trauma can cause your body harm and could be the cause of your physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Regardless of when you experienced a betrayal, it is essential to do the work to transform your deep-seated hurt and betrayal into a life full of love worth living.
As women, we visit the doctor seeking answers, pain relief, and support. Instead, we end up fighting stereotypes. Healthcare providers say our symptoms aren’t real. And we are treated as if we are overreacting. Women are more likely to have their pain minimized, their symptoms dismissed, and tests refused. This mishandling of complaints leads to delays in diagnosis and treatment, causing more pain and health problems.
