in 60 minutes, dw world in progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic. the 2nd son of about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w cuts cost the show is something men can do that. women talk to at least as well, but there's no denying one crucial difference. women have 2 x chromosome virus man have one x and one y chromosome. that needs to differences in physics, organs and whole my insistence. but when it comes to medical treatments and medication research still tends to be conducted mostly with man, effectively discriminating against women. welcome to in good shape. the

one prime example of the different effects of medicine between the sexes is a c to sinus, to the tacit best known as aspirin to things saying killer. it's also used as a blood center just as will prescribe to patients at higher risk of heart attacks. the why last spring can indeed protect men from cardiac arrest. it has no such effects with women. women's hot, so generally smaller and beach foster. and when problems the symptoms they display just such a men's hearts that blood work in dc g is a different to. as a result, women with hot problems are often treated too late, so incorrectly to us when doctors cons, explain women symptoms. many of the sites emotional fastest

this is ella schmidt is in the hospital to have an ultrasound scan on her heart. for years she suffered from palpitations, especially at night. not a time. she remembers fondly flushed and imagined being a young and pretty self confident woman having to cool your mom in the evening because he was scared of going to sleep. but some of the but it really affects you or being awake at night. so i'm worried that you'll die if you for the sleep. that's much to cardiologist. michelle, deckers specializes in heart problems experienced by women. she's spent years researching, gender bias and health care. and major disparities and treatment, he says, are also prevalent when it comes to heart disease. is this vicki and call it's really pretty depressing. we see hundreds of women from all of a gemini,
11:33 am
who i'll take a show in suffering on average for 14 years. and they've talked to countless doctors, but most of them are simply not being listened to on the mind. there's a tendency to immediately blame symptoms on mental issues. i'll keep secret one on the pulse. hysterical how life is to you this to find out why that is we talk to another cardiologist and these are the she's done, extensive research on project asses and discrimination and health care. so the portal took last food in the price of the types of studies is always a man never a woman owns and it's the same to well, they've still hidden thoughts on the women make up half the global population this fall into this will de sharon, us moving back home, in addition to one sided research, another problem is rooted in the academic world of medicine. teaching programs for medical students still focus far too little on the differences between men and women. escape the vinegar faqua teeth in the class. only
11:34 am
a small number of faculties also relevant lectures or internship. huh. yeah. how much stuff is not in our training to it to them yet, but it should be totally cool. so somebody for the whole elo schmidt would have appreciated her heart problem being diagnosed at an earlier stage for 13 years, doctors told her again and again that she was physically healthy. so it had to be something else a for the other. finally, getting a supervisor, they got to a point where the doctor said to me, okay, if you've had these symptoms so many years, maybe that's something not right. psychologically for like perhaps took a place to look to see whether it's like a semester. so she has a lot of sofas, but she knew that wasn't the case and investigated further on her own. 2 years ago that search led her to michelle decker, who discovered that she had a small congenital heart defect. the absent on have a lot of doctors automatically say the symptoms of prolonged,
11:35 am
then it comedies on the bottom line to proceed on. kind of said it's not it's the wrong approach because like my sis schmidt by a lot of female patients, i've already been through a lot of deal on stock to this bathroom on the fun included common. it's all water under the bridge for allow schmidt. she now takes medication for her condition and hasn't had any publications for 2 years. expedited this means freedom gotten 5 from them to free symptoms and free of federal funds. i'm assuming these are free of this disease and how not this hold them. i like this. so many yes, interface and how to remind him is that also kind of happiness? absolutely. that's one area of health care with the medical wild dogs invest a special focus on women is breast cancer. the 1st records of it date back to ancient egypt describing it as an incurable and deadly disease. so i say that hasn't changed much and the 4000 years since today, almost 2 and a half
11:36 am
a 1000000 women in here diagnosed with breast cancer. the chances of survival have improved considerably. st. suicide to advance isn't any detection. that some women don't want to take any chances, especially when they could be affected by an aggressive and congenital form of cancer. today, jessica vondik feels a sense of relief. 6 months ago she had to retire glandular breast tissue removed as a preventive measure value. she was left and were kind of, i knew i'd have no peace otherwise, i'd previously had this constant pain in my breast. so it was okay though it was psychological and that's why i decided to take this step. did studies indicate that it was highly likely that she did eventually developed. and i looked in tumors in her breast at some point in her life. due to i read it, treat for disposition. jessica validate on her on janina
11:37 am
becca, have a family history involving various types of cancer, in some cases, fatal. some of their relatives fell ill and very young age is another factor, pointing to predisposition, is that just as minimal as, as those clips have to my mother was 36 when she got breast cancer. surprisingly, every day i was worried about finding a lot of including knowing the i could also be affected. really wait on me, that's a from the shuttle i'm from the breast and gone to cultural kansas center at the university of mines. can assess the risk for women like jessica, the 1st step for in the housing book, another team is to conduct a lengthy interview with the woman they're examining comp on the 1st. there's a consultation with the guy in ecology or genetics department, and you need to create a family tree and see whether there's an increased risk and keep this and it will help i know who to see you. the quote becomes understood to check this when we have
11:38 am
checklist. and if the risk is above 10 percent, then, then we do genetic. it has to find out whether there are any risk to the phone, get this young richard easy, cool. gain of the 2 most common problem bronco one america to either one showing up in the blood test increases the likelihood of developing breast cancer to 70 percent of a very and cause a to 40 percent for women without the gene mutation. the risk of developing these diseases as follow around 13 and 2 percent respectively. one option for women with increased risk is regular unintentional screening with physical examinations on scans. another possibility is the complete removal of the breast tissue and ovaries. as to a specialist, katherine stephen explains a surgery significantly reduces the chance of developing cancer. however, the best,
11:39 am
that's the hope that's where we have the best data for the high risk bracket one and bracket 2, team 5. try to get post a double mistake to meet reduce risk by 90 to 95 percent to be done, and removing the ovaries and fallopian tubes reduce the frequency of, of varying cancer by 97 percent of the patients are also informed about the risks and side effects of surgery, the heating process often take several months, as was the case with jessica vardek on just a bit. so essentially them, i would probably be do it again in order to minimize the rather try. i don't think it was really painful and i'll talk to you in that something you do need to think about dealing with the pain relief of model. those may have given the choice between temp. so in the pain life i'll take the pain money. it's tips for come to that this would design member for you, but these, this match jessica plans to eventually have a overlays removed to. but that will have to wait until after she schofield who wish to have children. for family planning is of course a big issue for women,
11:40 am
for sometimes actually 5 sets alone bells ringing because while wanting to have children, they said they might already be inside the child. and that it's too late to get pregnant. the don't that the number 35 is get you down because there's no fertility close to follow up. there is no steep or abrupt decline that makes women in for a tile. that they, they turn $35.00, which means we would want to get children after the age of $35.00 to penny can rush like crazy because they still have good chances of getting pregnant to different status. for example, compared to how many women got pregnant after a year, they found women up to their late twenty's have around 90 percent possibility of getting pregnant in their early thirties is roughly 85 percent. and then it decreases to around $7.00 to $7.00 to a 2 percent. you'll see there is
11:41 am
a decline with age, but no cliff. that sounds better than that. it can relax a bit. so what determines whether we are able to conceive the big part of the answer lies with the eggs. the special thing about girls is that born with all their eggs, it's a one off birthday present. when goes to administrating they have around $300000.00 accelerates into over in each menstrual cycle. around 15 x health, i'm a true inside the ovaries. normally only one of them will become the dominant x, and the rest will be absorbed by the body. the dominant accel is then set free at the time of your lation. so this 6 such as that this x so has around 25 to 30 percent chance of being for it to live as if you have sex around the time of
11:42 am
relation. the fact we, i won't wait for long after the eggs, so it's released. it can only be frozen lice for around 24 hours. the can live up to 2 or 3 days. so if you want to help the romantic from the blue between egg and sperm have section of the lation date and the 2 days prior to that, the status suggest that women who are past their mid thirties and who want to get pregnant should test x on of relation day and one day before the probability of consuming a child is then according to their findings nearly as high as in younger women. ready as low x so it's already very bush. ready years or even decades will pass by until their big moment comes. all this time the exposed to the influences and
11:43 am
dangers of life. and with time, the chances grow that an eggs genetic information in the chromosomes gets changed. this doesn't always need to be a big thing, mutations happen all the time in our bodies, but it can lead to problems and medical risks. the, the risk of tourism is in the baby arises, where there are 3 copies of a chromosome instead of 2. for example of down syndrome or miscarriage, for instance. but it's too important to remember. the majority of women who get pregnant in their mid to late thirties will have normal pregnancies and healthy babies. of course, there are many other factors that influence your ability to conceive too many to name them all. but there are things you can do if you're planning on getting pregnant. the 1st of all, smoking has
11:44 am
a negative effect on virtually all the parts of the body involved in a pregnancy, but also plays a role. and your chances of conceiving is having enough body fat, many things sports healthy. but especially if you want to have a baby too much training is not good. tries to no way found that women to trade on an almost daily basis. and those who did sports until the point of exhaustion had a roughly 3 times smaller chance of getting pregnant. and don't forget, conceiving a child is not all down to us women around 50 percent of the time. the reasons for a couple of having problems rest with a guy august both parents to be if you have had the regular unprotected sex for a year, meaning $2.00 to $3.00 times a week and no baby is on its way. then you should go to see a doctor. if you're over 35, many subjects getting a checkup earlier after 6 months trying to conceive. often, there are tips into
11:45 am
a piece that can help things other than holding your legs up in the air, up to 6, hoping that will help the sperm reach its destination. because in most cases, sperm can do that job well on its own. mother nature has done a good job of ensuring that far too often. we talk about fatality a. something that declines that brings problems and worries us. but just come see there for a moment. how amazing it is that some of us can grow new lives inside of our bodies . in the end, it's just something we can be proud of the giving this puts a massive strain on a woman's body. not least because the pelvic muscles into connective tissue stretched domestically, the pelvic floor which helps keep the urethra closed,
11:46 am
can lose its tone. and sometimes that leads to incontinence for women has to go constantly to the bathrooms or has invalid entry. you and we discharge. it's a problem that affects around one and form of this off to giving bus. isabel has had bladder issues since the birth of her son. 4 years ago. she had a son in law and i always had a sensitive, overactive bladder. and um, yeah, and the guy know how to go really sweet, kind of each of the toilets just as a precaution sizes, my kind of gift. but now since becoming a mom at the age of $22.00 and not doing any strengthening exercises. and that happens pretty often that i leak a few drops as a says, what else? besides requires this month, i talk to infinity of all one in 10, women have problems holding their urine and the condition can affect women of any age. and isabel's case that tends to be triggered by stress to
11:47 am
that, that switch to start, what change and it's giving the fish to southern powerful to year in a time and the feeling i'm going to let myself because i comp make it to the bathrooms. yeah, that's it, and that's the high frequency of my trip. some of this. so to electric, what i'm asking about around and how i know what will the best for that. so then the best thing to let in that constant or just a year and a does a major bother and ease of those daily routine, which is why she sought help as a specialized pelvic floor center. the pelvic floor muscles close off the lower end of the abdominal cavity, protecting and supporting organs like the bladder, intestines, and uterus. during pregnancy and birth, the muscles often stretch and weekend that can also happen due to obesity. those affected have difficulty holding their urine when they call for sneeze. for example, there are essentially 2 types of incontinence. a health pharmacy thought incontinence. the main form is urgent continents,
11:48 am
the constant feeling of having to go to the bathroom and knowing every toilet in tone. and the other form is stress incontinence, which is connected to the physical strain such as coughing, sneezing, going upstairs, lifting heavy objects. both can be too involuntary, you're in release with traditional we fellows the gynecologist against use of the medication to relax or sensitive bladder. then an electro stimulator isn't sorted vege and only to help strengthen her pelvic muscles. isabel will be doing 20 minute sessions every day for an initial period of 3 months after which the doctor will check to see if her pelvic floor has gotten stronger. she's also shown exercises for reinforcing the pelvic floor muscles that she can do practically anywhere, squeezing holes, and then release the muscles while lifting her hips were swinging a huda, who showed again
11:49 am
a f i. c. i'd like to be able to prevent these incredible moments of stress. i get them public and offenses type the strong edge to year in age and feeling like i'm about to wet myself in public. and so i want that to end address and then i left and discussed the semesters miss. now in the meantime, isabel sets out to discover the various treatment options that are available. they include incontinence, tam ponds or device called a pestering. both are inserted into the vagina to provide an internal support. they can be used on an as needed basis. if a woman only likes urine in particular situations, the seamless, that's when you're doing physical exercise or call force names or they pressed against the reach, right? it's like with a garden hose, scott: so when you step on it, it's closed and nothing gets approved to the symptom, relieving devices can be used over a period of several years if they fail to work as hoped. however,
11:50 am
there's the option of minor surgery to insert attention free vege and they'll take it from the shy. they also be it's placed around the re front and then pulled up here through the scan. so the effect is basically all identical. things can know the guy here, you have a resistance surrounding the refund. and when you call force, nice, the reach right is pressed against that resistance at the how do we can use that into and makes it difficult for the year and to flow through good. it's recommended, however, that women wait for this kind of procedure until they're no longer interested in childbearing. because the tape can potentially shift during pregnancy or birth. isabel has a good chance of being able to strengthen her pelvic floor sufficiently with regular exercise and regaining control over her bladder. although training those muscles is something she will have to keep on doing for the years and decades to come, incontinence isn't the only to be subject to affecting women in many cultures that
11:51 am
considered in sure when menstruating, this can see them being ostracized or not being committed to go to school or what and nicole, some women or even helps way in menstrual hans elective clean water and toilet facilities, is also common worldwide. as is another problem, involving menstrual hygiene are sanitary pads. given you rashes, you are not alone. women often get it after long skin to get in contact with you. yes. right sides of this as women have personally experienced the cindy, because as the common symptoms include itchiness, reading of skin bumps and sometimes even blisters on the volume. so why do we get dress? the reason is simple. most disposable finds in the market on not made from the the
11:52 am
building materials, especially the back sheet of the pods which prevent the case and the wings for wrapping around the underwear, ahmed from materials like polyethylene or polypropylene, the same materials that are in, for instance, plastic bought tubes, some were even shown to contain hazardous chemicals, like darlene signing, met the need and tablets, which may cost council and full time one of the risks. this mix what's called that time of the month, even more uncomfortable. the an easy way to cure of fine gas would be just like how you drive your normally diapers. ash a good not be clean would work wonders just the tricky part. most sanitary napkins designed for the western market. these spots are unable to absolve lots of extra water left over after washing the dry adf. and the average side has the capacity to absorb $5.00 to $7.00 amount of fluids, about the same amount of blood,
11:53 am
an average room, and store it in an average day. and i'm in sort of cycle, however, this capacity doesn't even account for the sweat, much less excess, more to this would mean that women who use water to wash would have to change. they've had more frequently. but where access to minutes to an hygiene products is difficult, women actually with pads long ago. this was since defined dress problem for women. individual boots out globally, the best known menstrual hygiene products. i found phones and pads, but they might not be the most use products or even the most accessible. that's because of what explicit cost be that poverty. a large number of women with low income in north and south america struggle to afford meant sort of hygiene products . many is resort to making fads out of old clothes, but colors and cousins. in many parts of asia and africa, menstruate those use paypal includes cotton or even means. all of these
11:54 am
alternatives come with their own sets of hygiene problems. and that single duty mention clock which they hung onto for yours and yours. and that covers so much a bag like physically, truly because no matter how many times you wash a cloth with blog unless you wash as a probably disinfected, put it to bleach or put it in the product of digital water, the active but a back, you know, just in the blood doesn't die. one light thing using menstrual cups would be an obvious alternate of a cup made of cynical. and that can last from 5 to 10 years. it's a one time investment, right? but because of the big loss of getting vagina me in, so doing menstrual hygiene products is a huge problem. in many parts of the world, people are not comfortable enough to use a man. so your code is like a god would be bored with touching the bag because you're not going to let you guys
11:55 am
to may think of is not going to do it in dial when like how the force of a, of a activated nichols that constant needs to get across, how do we achieve face plan started hygiene then? of course, sanitary napkins should be designed with better absorption capacity to accommodate different types you can practice. but in our personal capacity, we can use sanitary napkins with fuel chemical letter tents and sequences that can cost allergies. you could also consider using the it was simple and affordable of cloth pads. they have fuel hazardous chemicals. i know also a little better for the environment, how they have a mixture to change these spots frequently to prevent moisture but it up washed them thoroughly and dried them in the sun. no splitting 100 pounds of cotton fluid skin also has come down into fiction and build up of extra moisture. there is no perfect solution,
11:56 am
but knowing the costs of the problem and potential underneath this might already make a difference for some of us. so what about men's health? they tend to pay less attention to that bodies are reluctant to go to the dumpster under more breakfast. in general. studies show males self care can improve. however, if a man on his own, but that's a subject for another episode, have in good shape. good bye for now. of the
