Why women aren't being heard

The UK gender health gap

Research shows that many women experience delays in diagnosis, misdiagnosis, or dismissal of symptoms, contributing to what's often called the gender health gap.

Here's what you told us in our 2025 don't shh me research.

93% of women have felt dismissed about their health concerns, highlighting a persistent gender health gap
Told my symptoms were "just hormonal", actually had Type 1 diabetes and nearly died.
71% reported chronic fatigue or low energy as one of their symptoms
Told I was too young and thin to have a thyroid issue
Only 7% said they got a resolution within 4-6 months
