bias

How Does Bias Manifest in Gynecological Care?

Bias can manifest in several ways, including:
- Diagnostic Oversights: Conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, especially in women of color.
- Treatment Disparities: Minority women may receive different treatment recommendations for the same conditions compared to white women.
- Communication Barriers: Stereotypes and assumptions can hinder effective communication between healthcare providers and patients, leading to misunderstandings and mistrust.
