The Medical Gaslighting That Shapes Women's Healthcare
Imagine experiencing debilitating pain that disrupts your daily life, yet doctor after doctor dismisses it as "just stress" or "all in your head." This isn't rare-it's reality for millions. The ancient Greek concept of the "wandering womb" continues to haunt modern gynecology, with women's health concerns consistently dismissed throughout history. The term "hysteria"-derived from the Greek word for uterus-contains all the judgments about female bodies that have persisted for thousands of years. While no modern doctor believes wombs literally wander, echoes persist when endometriosis patients are told to get pregnant as treatment or when women seeking sterilization are told they'll regret it. From medieval witch trials to 19th century surgical removals of clitorises and ovaries, women's symptoms have been consistently misattributed and mistreated. By the late 1800s, Charcot and Freud moved hysteria from a disease of the body to one of the mind, leading to the modern perception that unexplained physical symptoms must be psychological. Despite medicine's claims of being evidence-based, gender inequality permeates research. Until 1993, major clinical trials routinely excluded women entirely. Funding disparities remain troubling-in 2022, the NIH allocated $37 million for smallpox (eradicated since 1949) compared to just $27 million for endometriosis (affecting 10% of women).
