More than a third claimed it was damaging to their relationships with partners, friends or family – while 18 per cent believed their misdiagnoses was detrimental to their sex life.
What’s more, 28 per cent of women don’t believe doctors are properly trained in all aspects of women’s health. Dr Bryony Henderson, the lead GP for the service, said: “Despite our differences in physiology and genetic make-up, collective research suggests there is still a wide gap in knowledge on how medical conditions affect men and women differently.“Until about 25 years ago, almost all medical research was carried out exclusively on men, and so we still have a lot of catching up to do.
“Digital healthcare has a huge role to play in closing the gender health gap, which is why we have used our knowledge to create a free eBook as a resource to help towards doing so.”
