flag A UK poll reveals women are far more likely than men to feel dismissed by doctors, highlighting systemic issues in women’s healthcare.

flag A YouGov poll of 4,677 British adults found women are significantly more likely than men to feel dismissed by their GPs, with 70% of women reporting such experiences compared to 52% of men. flag Women also reported being dismissed more frequently, with 27% saying it happened many times versus 16% of men. flag The charity Wellbeing of Women attributes this to systemic issues like stigma around women’s health, lack of education, and delayed care—on average, women wait two years before seeking help. flag Experts stress the need for better communication and listening, especially for complex conditions like endometriosis. flag Healthwatch England and MPs have echoed concerns about misdiagnoses and “medical misogyny,” urging the government to update its Women’s Health Strategy to ensure women are taken seriously.
