yes that makes sense in the context of diseases that affect primarily one gender, but the context of this comment section is a post is about periods, a non-disease condition only experienced by women. I am talking about sex-specific condition research (aka what periods fall under), not diseases, which is what the paper you’re quoting is about (data from 2015-19). it’s also interesting that the NIH has an office dedicated to women’s health but nothing similar for men’s health
No. They just studied pad and tampon absorption with actual period blood for the first time last year. Before they were using saline or pigs blood. Not counting for the differences in blood and coagulation. Or did you know Alzheimer’s affects women more than men by 30%? Yet majority of study’s use male specimens in their experiments (animal). Or did you know that menopause is SEVERELY under researched, and there are many MANY things it causes that we really don’t know why, so instead of studying
Also another fun fact, the seatbelt was created using only male test dummies, and car safety tests only use male test dummies to this day. The first female test dummy was made in the last 5 years and it’s in Switzerland, but since there’s a lack of study of crash tests with female dummies, a woman is more likely to die in a car accident than a man because the seatbelt does not sit properly due to height, and breasts
And shut the fuck up about the NIH not dedicating anything to men’s health. They have studies coming out every couple years on colon cancer, yet you probably didn’t know that. And did you know that more studies have been made about erectile disfunction meds than menopause? Even though one is a pleasure and not necessary and the other kills people because of how bad it gets. Didn’t know roughly 18% of women in menopause (women over 50) will break a hip? Few studies on this.
Damn girl :( You can also do the water method in the shower. Since ur body is a different pressure inside the water should kinda get sucked in, then when ur standing you just push it out. It sounds awful and awkward but I swear to god it works as long as the uterus lining is already falling off, it basically flushes it out
