National Poll Shows Women Are Missing Out on Vacations, Work, and Social Events Due to Gynecological Conditions
2024年5月2日 - 11:00PM
LevLane Advertising, one of Philadelphia's oldest independent
full-service advertising agencies, today released the findings of a
women's health survey exploring the impact of gynecological
conditions on the lives of 1,000 American women.
Of the 30% of women who said they had canceled travel or
vacation plans due to gynecological conditions – the top conditions
leading to cancellations were premenstrual/period symptoms (28%),
urinary tract infections (UTI) (21%) and menopause (10%).
The poll, which was commissioned by LevLane and conducted by
OnePoll, a leading market research company, examines the ways
endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, premenstrual syndrome,
UTIs, endometriosis, menopause and other conditions affect women's
social lives, sex lives, careers and vacation plans.
Over 45% of respondents said they were forced to call out of
work due to a women's health issue, and 44% said they had to cancel
a date or miss a social event.
"Millions of women silently struggle every day with
gynecological conditions, some as common as PMS and UTIs," said Liz
Weir, chief marketing officer at LevLane. "There's a real need for
greater awareness, understanding and support for women's health
issues that profoundly impact their quality of life, from personal
relationships to professional aspirations."
When it comes to sex, 52% of women polled said pain, discomfort
or complications from PMS, UTIs, menopause and other women's health
conditions had caused a lack of sex drive (51%), anxiety (41%),
depression (38%), trouble/difficulty orgasming (24%), feeling
ignored (14%) and feeling stigmatized (6%). Baby boomers and
Generation X, in particular, reported more impact on their sex
lives compared to other generations.
Additional poll findings:
On support gaps:
- Mental wellness (21%) and sexual health/STDs (8%) were areas
where respondents felt the least supported/heard.
- Baby boomers expressed feeling unsupported in menstrual care,
while millennials feel unsupported in mental wellness.
On missing work:
- Reasons for absence: Premenstrual/Period
symptoms (26%), UTIs (18%) and endometriosis (6%) were common
causes for missing work.
- Generational trends: Millennials and
Generation X showed higher work absence rates than other
generations.
On travel and vacation:
- Baby boomers had the highest cancellation rate due to
gynecological conditions, while Generation Z had the lowest.
On knowledge gaps in women's health:
- Knowledge gaps: Women feel the least educated
on ongoing symptoms related to endometriosis (16%) and mental
wellness (18%).
- Age-based insights: Millennials and Generation
X felt less educated on post-partum care, while the Silent
Generation respondents felt less educated in sexual
health/STDs.
