Women's health encompasses the physical, emotional, and social health and well‐being associated with female reproductive and sexual development over the life cycle, or any medical condition that is more common among people who identify as women. The sociology of women's health includes the study of gendered politics within medicine, medical training, doctor–patient interactions, self‐care, illness behavior, and healthcare utilization. Women's health can be more broadly construed to include the relationships between gender inequality (gender as a social institution) and health, even among men
