Summary
In this blog, Gurpreet Kaur, who had to use a wheelchair for five years due to the severity of her endometriosis, talks about her firsthand experience of gender bias in pain management. She recalls sexist and inappropriate comments made to her by male healthcare professionals, describing how they belittled her pain and treated her as a 'hysterical woman'. She also highlights that research clearly demonstrates that women of color are more disproportionately affected by dismissals of their pain.
