Men and women do not get sick in the same way. The effect of therapies and even the perception and management of pain are different according to gender. 

Today, we almost take it for granted, but only in recent years has a gendered medicine emerged. An approach that goes beyond the specific aspects related to reproduction, but also takes into account the influence of socioeconomic and cultural differences on each person's health and disease status. 

Epidemiological, clinical and experimental data are growing. Gender medicine is bridging a historic knowledge gap, the child of an approach tied to a past in which due to contingency and little attention to gender issues, science focused only on a certain type of man.

At stake are health, quality of life and well-being with social, labor and economic implications. This, too, is sustainability.

At the microphone of this episode of the Augmenta. Podcast we find Gianpiero Capra, head of the Rehabilitation Area of Continuing Education at SUPSI, and Lia Sartor, a physical therapist specializing in Pelvic Rehabilitation.
