But, according to psychiatrist Gemma Parramon Puig, head of the psychiatry section at Vall d'Hebron Hospital, this perspective has hidden another reality for decades: a medicine built by taking the male body as the standard and biases that have delayed diagnoses, medicalized social problems, and made women's health invisible. In "<em>It must be the hormones</em> (Vergara), argues that incorporating the perspective of sex and gender is essential for better medicine.</p>]]></description>

"I am like <em>The stranger</em> "in a crotch version," she jokes. She discovered it in her forties, when she was studying physiotherapy and signed up by chance for the elective course on women's health. "Elective!" she exclaims. What she discovered was so surprising that she has since dedicated herself to spreading the word as a pelvic floor physiotherapist. And not just to help prevent it. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/society/the-illness-that-many-mothers-have-suffered-in-silence-all-their-lives-and-that-can-be-prevented_130_5442044.html" target="_blank">common problems such as prolapse or urine loss</a>, but to guarantee and prolong the fun.</p>]]></description>
