    It honestly strikes me as high.

    I would expect that women-exclusive or male-exclusive issues would be less than 7% of all issues.

      Buddy, you have no idea how many medical issues happen doing to pregnancy and child birth alone. It’s staggering.

        I understand it’s a lot. I’d be willing to bet women-exclusive issues dwarf men-exclusive issues for the reason you said.

        But still, if you were to catalogue every medical condition known to exist, that women exclusive conditions exceed 7% of the total?

        I’m worried that people think I’m diminishing the number of things that can go haywire in pregnancy, I’m not. I’m saying that you’re underestimating the TOTAL number of things that can go haywire in the entire human body.
