Another 🤯 😩 💔 - The diagnosis of endometriosis averages between seven to nine years globally!

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects roughly 10% (190 million) of reproductive age women and those assigned female at birth.

Women's health continues to be under funded and under researched.
Qvin is trying to change this. 🩸💪

06/10/2024

🔦 Shining a light today on Equal Research Day!

🔬 The data used to guide clinical diagnosis today is biased to male biology, which negatively affects women when it comes to medical treatments, drugs, and research.

👉And we want to change that. Qvin is working to help close the gender health gap through menstrual blood. 🩸💪

🔍 Women have up to a 4x increase in risk for autoimmune disease compared to men. Some explanations include that it's an X chromosome issue!

🔬 Women's health is both understudied and underfunded. The data used to guide clinical diagnosis today is biased to male biology. Qvin is trying to help close the gender health gap with menstrual blood research. 🩸💪

📣 Did you know - 90% of women were never educated about menopause. So...

🔦 Sharing some facts to help bridge the "peri" (perimenopause) gap:
There are many other symptoms beyond hot flashes and period changes - and those can include changes in mood, sleep and aspects of cognition, often called brain fog.

05/07/2024

🤯 Did you know? Women wait 4 years longer than men for the same diagnosis. Why? Women's health is underfunded and under-researched. The data used to guide clinical diagnosis today is biased to male biology.

🔍 Educate, advocate, and demand equal treatment.

🧡 Why aren't people with periods in control of their own data for family planning?

The World Health Organization estimates that roughly 1 in 6 people worldwide are affected by infertility. Some of these people may want to know ahead if they need to plan differently.

Go figure. ❤️‍🩹 Improving women's health leads to economic growth. 💸

💡 Per the McKinsey Health Institute and World Economic Forum Centre:
Women, on average, spend 25 percent more time in poor health than men. Closing the gender health gap could reduce the time women spend in poor health by almost two-thirds and unlocking this potential is possible with concrete steps such as investing in women-centric research to fill knowledge and data gaps.
