Thais Alabadi, in his article Gender Bias in Healthcare: Do Women Receive Worse Care, writes that women are less likely to be given painkillers than men, it takes an average of 7–10 years for a patient with endometriosis to receive an accurate diagnosis, women are more likely to be told their pain is psychosomatic, and it takes a woman 2.5 more years to be diagnosed with cancer.

Our Dawny couldn't get a diagnosis for two years... when she finally got a diagnosis, it was an aggressive stomach cancer already very advanced. She was gone six months later.
