Reframing #womenshealth goes beyond just sexual and reproductive health. It encompasses a broader spectrum, acknowledging sex-specific conditions like endometriosis and menopause, along with general health issues that may impact women uniquely, leading to a higher disease burden or prevalence. This report defines our perspective on #womenshealth, ensuring a comprehensive understanding that extends beyond traditional boundaries. Embracing this inclusive definition fosters a more accurate representation of the diverse health challenges faced by women. https://lnkd.in/gfP-2Vsa

Women’s health is not a siloed category, but rather one that affects individuals, families, and the economy. Women’s health encompasses the range of health experiences that affect women uniquely, differently, or disproportionately versus men. The women’s health gap is the disease burden associated with inequities between women and men in intervention efficacy, care delivery, and data. A recent analysis from the McKinsey Health Institute, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, has shown that closing the women’s health gap globally could result in better overall health, fewer early deaths, and a boost in the economy. Addressing the women’s health gap could enhance the quality of life for women throughout their lives and improve future generations’ health and wealth. Tackling women’s health means understanding that women are not simply smaller versions of men and that their biology is uniquely different, beyond differences in reproductive organs. Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) account for only 5 percent of the women’s health burden. Comparatively, more than half of the women’s health burden reflects conditions that affect women disproportionately or differently, with most of the impact affecting women’s working years. #womenshealth #femtech #healthtech #digitalhealth #healthcare #healthcareinnovation #startups #innovation #health #medtech #healthcareresearch #femalehealth #genderhealthgap #reproductivehealth #venturecapital #vc #funding #investment #grants #maternalhealth #periods #menstruation #sexualhealth #sextech #menopause #fertility #pregnancy #postpartum #eggfreezing #IVF #healthequity #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorhealth #hormonehealth

Women need periods. “As a holistic health practitioner who looks at the overall health picture, I find the idea that you can simply shut off a single bodily function without consequence to be extremely short-sighted.”    Read the article: https://lnkd.in/g69twQ2R    #menstruationmatters #fertilityawareness #womenshealth

Did you know? Eighty percent of all women will develop fibroids by age 50. While nearly 90 percent of Black women will develop fibroids & are three times as likely to be negatively affected by them. Arguably, lack of dialogue and misinformation that exists has only contributed to those numbers. Many women either aren’t aware they have fibroids, don’t have access to adequate information or treatment, are hesitant to report, or normalize their symptoms as part of being a woman. .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fibroidsawareness #fibroidsolution #fibroidssuck #womenshealthmatters #fibroidsymptoms #studentnurse #endometriosis #healthylifestyle #fibroidsawarenessmonth #nursesofinstagram #menstrualhealth #womenshealth #blackwomenshealth #fibroidawarenessmonth #fibroidsurgery #uterinefibroids #periodproblems #blackhealthlifestyle #fibroids #blackhealthandwellness #health #healthadvocate #nursingstudentlife #fibroidtreatment #nursingblogger #blackwomenmatter #fibroidawarenessinwomen #blackhealthywomen #women #nursingschool
