From1995 (Beijing Conference) the World Health Organization strongly did call the attention on the need of great attention to women health and on the lack of studies on the differences in medicine between men and women. From the women health attention we arrived to gender medicine that is a transversal dimension of medicine which describes the differences within the same disease of symptoms, clinical evolution, drug therapy as well as prevention between men and women.
From some real life examples in this article we wish to make it clear that gender medicine is not a separated medical specialty but a dimension which pass through all specialties.
Thus we should speak about gender-specific medicine since all medical specialties have to do a medical training on the basis of gender differences.
Lastly it is underlined also the need of a social approach to gender health in order to pick up all social weight factors that influence diseases in the two genders.
自1995年（北京会议）以来，世界卫生组织大力呼吁人们高度关注女性健康，以及对男女医学差异研究的匮乏。从关注女性健康，我们进而发展到性别医学，它是医学的一个横向维度，描述了男女在同一种疾病的症状、临床演变、药物治疗以及预防方面的差异。
在本文中，我们通过一些实际生活中的例子，希望阐明性别医学并非一个独立的医学专科，而是贯穿于所有专科的一个维度。
因此，我们应该提及针对性别的医学，因为所有医学专科都必须基于性别差异进行医学培训。
最后还强调了对性别健康采取社会层面方法的必要性，以便找出影响两性疾病的所有社会权重因素。
