谈到女性健康,很多人马上会想到乳房健康和生殖系统健康,而如果仅关注这些比基尼覆盖的身体部位,忽略了女性的全身健康状况,也非常危险。
Bikini medicine refers to the medical practice, research, and funding that focuses solely on the female breasts and reproductive system.
“比基尼医疗”指的是仅针对女性乳房和生殖系统的医疗实践、研究和资助。
Today, we speak with a leader in the field of women’s health and when you hear that term, you could be forgiven if you thought reproductive health. Some people even called it bikini medicine because, for so long, the focus of research and medical practice seemed to be almost exclusively on the areas of the body you’d cover with a bikini.
今天,我们和一位女性健康领域的领军人物进行了对话。当你听到这个术语,如果想到的是生殖健康,也没人会怪你。一些人甚至称之为“比基尼医疗”,因为长久以来,相关的研究和医疗实践似乎仅专注于比基尼覆盖的身体区域。
Bikini medicine is an informal term that refers to the tendency of some medical professionals to focus on health issues relating to the breasts and genital areas when treating women. This is as opposed to taking a look at the woman’s overall health.
“比基尼医疗”是一种非正式说法, 指的是一些医疗职业人士在治疗女性时,把注意力放在与乳房和生殖部位相关的健康问题上,而不是检查女性的整体健康状况。
Bikini medicine has been blasted by advocacy groups as it does not take into consideration the entire body’s health. As such, it can be rather unhealthy - and even dangerous - for women.
一些活动团体对此予以抨击,因为这忽略了女性的全身健康状况。这对女性来说非常不健康,甚至有危险。
