It is absolutely also about genders too.

I get a tingle in my balls? Here's an expedited ultrasound that we can do tomorrow. We can get you in for a blood test for cancer markers in two days.

My whole pelvis hurts when I have my period? Here's a motrin and an ibuprofen. Come back if it doesn't stop bleeding after a few days.

Like an effervescent abscess, the difference in treatment between males and females remains to this day. It's not even particularly hard to find female doctors that will outright dismiss symptoms in female patients because that's what they were taught.
