The Gender Pain Gap

Did you know many women wait YEARS to get diagnosed?

Especially Black women.

Symptoms like:
• Severe period pain
• Heavy bleeding
• Chronic fatigue

Are often dismissed as:
“normal”
“just stress”
“part of being a woman”

But here’s the truth 👇🏾

✨ Conditions like endometriosis can take 7–10 years to diagnose.

That’s YEARS of:
• Pain
• Confusion
• Being unheard

💡 What many women don’t know:
You are allowed to advocate for yourself.

🚨 If something feels off:
• Get a second opinion
• Ask for testing
• Track your symptoms
• Don’t accept dismissal

Your pain is valid.
Your experience matters.

✨ Sestra Health exists to close this gap.

Because the system wasn’t built for us
so we’re building our own.
