aren’t there like a fuck ton of medical studies about different processes (including periods) in women’s bodies specifically, with higher numbers every year?

RIGHT???

statistically from what source? from what I’ve seen at least from NIH data, women’s health research funding has been over double that of men’s for several years

-22

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

I have had to do SO much research and now only can get my products from very specific places, usually have to order online, just to find natural products that don’t have all that added toxic bullshit

holy misinformation. the NIH’s office of research on women’s health (ORWH) was created because women were historically underrepresented in medical research, not because women’s health is “favored.” the “double funding” claim is misleading since much of what’s categorized as “women’s health” includes pregnancy, reproductive health, and conditions that affect everyone but manifest differently in women. “men’s health” is quite literally the most openly available and well-researched.

let’s get some real statistics here, shall we? women make up over half the u.s. population, but as of recent nih analyses, only about 30% of participants in early-phase clinical trials are women. even in nih-funded animal studies, male subjects outnumber female ones almost 2 to 1, which affects how well findings translate to women. a 2021 study in journal of women’s health found that less than 12% of nih funding goes toward projects focused specifically on women’s health.

another 2022 analysis in nature communications showed that conditions affecting mostly women( like endometriosis, migraines, or chronic fatigue syndrome) receive under half the funding they should, based on their actual disease burden. meanwhile, diseases that primarily affect men are overfunded by around 2.5x compared to their impact. also, women are 50–75% more likely to experience adverse drug reactions because most drugs were tested on men’s bodies and dosages weren’t adjusted.

It does hurt but my cramps are typically bad enough that they make me vomit and I can’t move so 1 day of pain vs 6 is no contest

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

It they just brush it off and say “whatever that’s menopause”

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.

This is because menopause leeches the calcium out of the bones making them brittle. And 30% of hip breaks are fatal. Yet I see no “menopause awareness month”.

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

You gotta be in the right position though, or you can just get a netti-pot and pour the water in 🤷
