What diseases are more difficult for men, and what for women? Scientists are simply convinced that some sicknesses are not a terrifying process, but on the contrary - an "advantage", mostly of one sex - weak or strong. Women, of course, are more likely to feel pain, and scientists find this explanation in the presence of our hormones.
Even in ancient times, sex differences in the course of the disease, frequency and "way" to get sick were noticed - and to see this, it is not necessary to be a scientist or a scientific worker. For example, people say that men rarely go to a hospital and prefer to survive their illness at home. However, with all this, they are more insistent and more often than women complain that they feel bad or they have something hurts. Women, however, suffer less from pain, therefore, it is much more courageous and easier to bear any illness.
But it should be taken into account that all these are only opinions and thoughts, which have no scientific facts. There are only those fact sheets that indicate that women on average live longer than men. But why? The answer is simple: less drink, smoke, often go to doctors and lead a more active and healthy lifestyle. Moreover, experts say that thanks to our female hormones, we are protected from heart disease until the onset of menopause.
However, Finnish scientists recently conducted a study that showed that the health of women is not so strong already, as it seems at first sight. The doctors in their study studied how the same disease is tolerated by both men and women - rheumatoid arthritis. It was found that women much longer suffer from this illness. At the same stage of development of the disease, women notice stronger symptoms, while causing more discomfort and pain.
Director of the Organization of Arthritis Research, Professor AlanSilman, said that hormones play a significant role in this. He says that the female hormone estrogen is able to significantly increase the inflammation of the joints, while there are swelling and pain.
Doctors say that the difference in the disease also affects the vzhenskom, and the male physique.
Professor Alan Silman said that in men, the body is "equipped" with muscle mass more than in women, while the joints last longer and are slower to wear. Moreover, in men massepel is determined not in the same way as in women, so women take the entire load on the joints of the hips and knees.
There is one more disease, the severity of which is transferred depending on the caress, - this is all known to us chicken pox. In addition, everyone knows that the more a person is of age, the harder he experiences this ethereal - the mortality from chickenpox at ages is many times higher than in childhood. Recently, it was found that the intensity of the symptoms is also determined by sex: the data indicate that men die from chicken pox twice as often as female sex representatives.
Doctors can not explain why such statistics, they can only guess. For example, Nigel Higson, a specialist in the field of virology, argues that the smallpox causes such signs and symptoms of illness in men, which prostenes may be in women.
For example, chickenpox in men causes orchitis - it's edema. As a result, the patient may have difficulty in being spontaneous throughout the rest of his life, doctors say. It is for this fact that doctors claim that the smallpox can cause other symptoms that only men can appear.
But if we talk about asthma, then it is on the contrary, more dangerous to women. Approximately such a statistic is constructed: women die from this disease twice as often as men. Also women are hospitalized much more often due to asthma. Doctors say that everything is the fault of the nominal harmony. Until the sexual survival ends, the boys are more susceptible to asthma than the girls, but after the hormonal background is reconstructed, so the youngsters become more at risk of asthma.
A specialist in asthma research, Dr. Alain Vickers, says that there is evidence that makes clear that progesterone and estrogen are sensitive to respiratory sensitivities, that is, increase it. However, the testosterone on the contrary has another effect - the opposite.
The most interesting and surprising thing is that the results of recent studies have shown that women are more sensitive to pain than representatives of men's sex, no matter what people say.
And again, all this explains the presence of hormones. When it hurts, the body begins to produce its own endorphins, enkephalins iopioids - they naturally alleviate pain. Avot estrogen, judging by the results of research, on the contrary, prevents the development of these substances. There is also a different judgment on this matter - men perceive pain as inconvenience, and not as a threat, and therefore suffer less, - scientists say.
By the way, probably, after that each woman will ask: how can we cope with the pain during childbirth? Doctors say that at this moment the woman becomes courageous, and the psychology begins to play the opposite role-each of the fairer sex is already obviously ready for the pain and realizes that another outcome it can not be, therefore expects pain from childbirth to be corrected with it.
