There are certain diseases that males are predisposed to more than females and vice versa. Furthermore the same disease may have different manifestations depending up to the sex of the patient. And there is no surprise as our organisms are quite different. In case you care about your health then you’d certainly like to find out the weak spots peculiar to your sex.

Who gets ill more often?

First of all we should disprove the idea that men get sick less than the women. The matter is that men mostly don’t like to visit doctor.

Who experiences more severe aches?

The idea that women have decreased pain barrier as compared to men is nothing but the myth. According to the scientists’ female hormone oestrogen prevents the body from producing natural anesthetics like – opioids, endorphins and enkephalines. Thus women experience considerably more severe pain in arthritis for instance.

The psychology features

The features of male and female psychology also make us be mistaken. Males are used to complain for their troubles and problems more often and insistently than the women: for instance the slightest indisposition plunges them into panics as this deprives them their male priority! Females are sturdier as there are being grown up to become mother (and the maternity also implies certain pain) and hearth keepers.

Who has clearer hands?

According to another myth females have lower chances to get certain infection as they are more cleanly. The Colorado University researches have revealed that there are 50% more bacterium sorts on the female hand as compared to males’ ones. This is explained by the fact that male skin is provided with fatty lubricants sufficiently and furthermore they sweat more than the women (as a result the acidity increases). Due to this the environment becomes unfavorable for the process of the bacteria reproduction. Female skin is drier (as they have less sweat and oil glands) due to their anatomy, hormonal background as well as great cosmetics application.

Diseases divided according to sex:

The chicken pox

The common chicken pox is the disease that is quite dependable up to the sex. Only children experience it in quite light form and without any serious consequences. Adults endure considerable severe forms of the disease; furthermore it may pose a real threat to their lives. So, according to the statistics men dies due to the chicken pox in 2 times often than women. Furthermore thus male endured the chicken pox experience decreased insemination possibility. Nigel Higson an expert of virology supposes that this happens due to the male physiology. “For instance chicken pox is the quite often cause of the orchitis – the testicles inflammation and edema in males. As a result the patient may have certain fertilization problems throughout the rest of his life.

Asthma

And the asthma is a real danger for women. They die two times often than the men due to it. The most interesting fact is that before the pubescence there is quite different situation – and boys experience asthma more often that women.
