Dear Women....Now He'll Listen To You!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

       This week's blog is for every woman who has frequent pains in different areas of their body.  This also goes out to all the men who aren't sympathetic to their spouse's pain.  Sorry guys..., but she's not being over-dramatic or too sensitive and she's NOT faking pain just to get attention. 
       In a recent journal article that I reviewed, it gave evidence as to why women have more frequent & numerous clinical pain conditions and more inflammation related disorders.  The study reports that due to higher levels of sex hormones such as: estrogen, progesterone and other gonadal hormones; Women have an increased nervous system response to pain.  These hormones cause cells in the central nervous system to release "cytokines" which will increase the pain response to inflammatory stimuli.  Translation:  women tend to have a lower threshold for pain stimulus due to their hormone levels.

Take home message this week: 
Men -->  Be more sensitive when your spouse complains of body pains
Women -->  Be sure to show this to your spouse if they're not sympathetic to what you are feeling


Yours in Health,
