The consequences of research disparities in gynecology are far-reaching and can include:
- Delayed Diagnoses: Conditions like endometriosis and PCOS can take years to diagnose due to a lack of research and awareness. - Ineffective Treatments: Without robust research, treatment options may be limited or ineffective, affecting the quality of life for those suffering from gynecological conditions. - Health Inequities: Disparities in research contribute to broader health inequities, particularly for marginalized communities who may already face barriers to healthcare.
