What's Sex Got to Do with It? Women's Under the Radar Health Conditions

Women’s bodies are constantly evolving. From the moment of first menstruation to menopause, the body is undergoing constant evolution. Whether for better or worse, hormones and other factors play a role in how women experience daily life.

There is a lot of discussion about the common effects of hormones throughout a women’s life cycle. Yet there are some conditions that although men can acquire them, the predominant patient populations are women. Why do women get these conditions more than men? Some of these are well-known but others are not as common.
