Gendermedizin – Frauenherzen schlagen höher

It is now evident that women and men react differently to diseases and treatments. This applies to the prevalence of certain diseases as well as the efficacy and side effects of medications.

Women have historically been underrepresented in clinical trials, leading to a lack of data on the efficacy and safety of drugs in women. Comprehensive medical research should take these differences into account and promote specific research initiatives that focus on women's health. Gender medicine is still not an integral part of medical education in Germany.

Diseases such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis and other gynecological diseases affect women and require targeted research. The collection and analysis of health data should be gender-specific in order to better understand and take into account differences and specific needs.

The event offers the opportunity to acquire knowledge and possible options for action for educational professionals who are in contact with women. In addition to theoretical knowledge, there will be a joint look at the guidelines for sensitized treatment of female patients and a discussion of their possible use in politics.
