For about 14 million Australian women and girls, heath advice has often been built on incomplete, and at times flawed and even harmful research and information, based on results taken only from men.
The consequences have been significant, with experts warning women have been suffering and even dying unnecessarily for decades.
Now, in a deeply personal major investigation – including interviews with Dr Stacy Sims and Dr Belinda Beck – reporter Liz Hayes puts herself through a series of confronting medical tests to understand what it all means, and what women can do about it.
From uncomfortable truths to cutting-edge breakthroughs, 7NEWS Spotlight examines how women’s bodies have been misunderstood for centuries, and why change is finally underway.
