Pain in women

Erkekler ve kadınların deneysel ağrılı uyarılara yanıt, ağrıyı bildirme, ağrıyla başa çıkma davranışları ağrılı rahatsızlıkların semptom ve belirtileri ve ağrı tedavisine yanıt gibi ağrıya karşı tutumları farklıdır. Hem akut hem de kronik ağrılı durumların erkek ve kadınlardaki prevalansları farklılık gösterir. Genelde erkeklere göre kadınlarda ağrılı durumların prevalansı daha yüksektir. Burada, ağrının kontrolü ve yitiminde cinsiyete özgü veya cinsiyet eğilimli etkiler gösteren genetik faktörler de dahil olmak üzere ağrıda cinsiyet farklılıklarının altında yattığı varsayılan mekanizmalar gözden geçirildi

Kadınlarda ağrı

Men and women are different in response to experimental painful stimulation, in pain attitude such as reporting pain and pain coping behavior, in symptoms and signs of painful disorders and in response to pain treatment. Both acute and chronic pain conditions have diverse prevalence among the sexes. Overall, women have more than twice higher prevalence in painful disorders compared to men. Here I review putative mechanisms underlying sex differences in pain, including genetic factors that have sex-specific or sex-biased effects controlling pain and analgesia
