Do you think womens health issues arent taken as seriously as mens?

How seriously does the NHS take impotence for example?

Men are (or so science believes, we don't really know how many women died because they were never diagnosed) more prone to heart attacks - that is something that sure is taken extremely seriously.

And there's loads of more or less effective treatments for anything slighly annoying that men might experience, from male pattern baldness to erectile dysfunction.

I never got a spammail recommending some obscure herbal treatment for menstruation pain.

if men developed large growths in their abdomens, would they be taken more seriously?

You bet they would. Apart from it being taken more seriously by doctors in acute cases, men have dominated medical research pretty much since it is called science, you bet they'd have done something about a problem that affects them.

Iron deficiency anemia and menstruation pains (caused by a variety of things) are something that affects almost all women. If there was something affecting men at that scale, you bet they'd have done something about it!
I hope that with more female scientists, there will be more research on that, but as women are socialized to prioritize males ... well, we'll see.

I have experienced this in relation to crippling back issues. Found out a couple of men at same gps got far better treatment.

I wouldn't have believed it before tbh.

I am constantly surprised at how much blood loss many perimenopausal women are putting up with. Sometimes it is because they know no different, and sometimes it is because they are fobbed off.

Having had some family members (both male and female) go through some healthcare issues recently, the NHS is painfully slow.
It seems non-immediately life threatening issues don't get dealt with fast.
So the question is, is anaemia dealt with slowly and poorly because only women suffer from it, or because it's not immediately life threatening.
Compare it so similar conditions that men also suffer from and see if they are taken more seriously.
I do love the NHS, but I doubt it.

I think alcoholism is treated differently. That even though consumption has grown for women, as it has decreased among men, that resources are still male-centric.

It's not acceptable when health conditions are left untreated, or long waiting lists, no.
But I thought the OP was asking about the difference between treatment of men and women, so that's the question I attempted to answer.

That was my interpretation of your post. That the lack of comparison makes it hard to judge, so it's not easy to say if the level of treatment women receive is acceptable or the same/similar to men.

Who said that?

So that level of treatment is ok because there's nothing to compare it to directly?

Do men have as many health issues specific to men, though?
It seems women strike it unlucky when it comes to health.
Apart from prostate, what other male health issues are there?
Hard to compare, really I think.
I don't think prostate cancer gets taken more seriously than, say, breast cancer, but I could be wrong.
