This editorial highlights the importance of recognizing sex-specific phenotypes in chronic lung diseases, noting that epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical courses differ significantly between males and females. It reviews several studies within a dedicated research topic, covering topics such as smoking impacts on COVID-19, estrogen’s role in lung cancer, and the gut-lung microbiome's influence on respiratory health. The text emphasizes that female-specific considerations are often under-recognized and calls for more original research to improve diagnostic procedures and targeted therapies. Relevance to endometriosis: one cited article discusses endometriosis-related pleural effusion and spontaneous pneumothorax, linking the condition to respiratory symptoms via estrogen and progesterone receptor positivity.
