There is a revolutionary realisation in modern medicine: men and women are not only biologically different, but also react differently to illnesses, medication and treatments. This book takes a comprehensive look at this complex and important topic. It shows why, after centuries of male dominance in medical research, a gender-specific approach is essential in modern medicine. It presents the latest scientific findings that show how diseases such as heart attacks, depression, osteoporosis, cancer and others manifest themselves differently in men and women. It also discusses how medications and treatments need to be specifically tailored to each gender to be effective. The author, an expert in the field of medicine and gender studies, explains clearly and concisely how traditional medical approaches have often neglected the female gender and the consequences this has had for women's health. At the same time, it shows how taking gender-specific differences into account can revolutionise diagnosis, prevention and treatment. The book calls for a rethink and at the same time offers practical solutions for integrating gender-specific findings into everyday medical practice.
