\nTopic: Shrink It and Pink It
\nA Candid Conversation Around Women'\;s Health
\nIn support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October)
\n
\nHave you ever felt like your doctor wasn'\;t listening to you or \;didn&rsquo\;t take your \;concerns seriously? Or minimized your symptoms to stress\, being over tired or even weight?
\n
\nYour feelings are real. Apart from reproductive health\, women were basically left out of medical research until the 1990s (they didn'\;t even test female mice). \;Prior to the 1990s\, research on disease\, treatments\, vaccines\, cancer\, etc. did not have to include females in the testing. \;So unless it had to do with making babies\, other aspects of women&rsquo\;s health were largely overlooked. \;Whatever medical testing discovered about men\, they applied to women.
\n
\nBut we know women are very different from men in many ways including their biology. So what are the implications to decades excluding women from medical research?
\n
\nJoin us as we discuss the research\, its implications and \;experiences in navigating women&rsquo\;s health issues.
