Women are definitely strongly underrepresented in medical texts, and it's not typically by choice: https://www.aamc.org/news/why-we-know-so-little-about-women-s-health https://www.aamc.org/news/why-we-know-so-little-about-women-...
A lot of "the consensus" in medical literature predates the inclusion of women in medical research, and even still there things are not tested on women (often because of ethical risks around fertility and birth defects).
