Women Are Not More of a Pain But They Are More Sensitive To Pain Than Men

For centuries, it has been generally believed women are the more sensitive gender. A new study says that, when it comes to pain, women are in fact more sensitive.

According to a report published in October’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), women have more nerve receptors, which cause them to feel pain more intensely than men.

For centuries, it has been generally believed women are the more sensitive gender. A new study says that, when it comes to pain, women are in fact more sensitive.

According to a report published in October’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), women have more nerve receptors, which cause them to feel pain more intensely than men.

According to the study, women averaged 34 nerve fibers per square centimeter of facial skin while men only averaged 17 nerve fibers. Despite psychosocial expectations for men to be tougher than women when feeling pain, these findings illustrate that women’s lower pain tolerance and threshold are actually really a physical entity.

87% of the 9.2 million cosmetic surgery procedures performed last year were on women. The ability to minimize pain often affects a patient’s perception of their results. Hopefully, this data will give new perspective on how to better treat post-operative pain in women. Currently, 15 to 20% of theU.S. population suffers from acute pain while 25 to 30% suffer from chronic pain.

“This study has serious implications about how we treat women after surgery as well as women who experience chronic pain,” says Dr. Sam Speron, plastic surgery expert and consumer advocate.

“Because women have more nerve receptors, they may experience pain more powerfully than men, requiring different surgical techniques, treatments or medicine dosages to help manage their pain and make them feel comfortable.”

Many women prefer to use altnerative pain relief therapies. I will be doing a review on Eazol over the next few weeks. After reading a little about Eazol the product looks good and it is an alternative to the medications that I would normally take for pain…

A lot of women in the world suffer from menopause and the affects of menopause. Although some women can go through this period in life without feeling any of the affects, there are certainly many more that do.

My mother was quite lucky not suffering from any the symptoms at all while a friend of mine’s mother suffered… please read on as Summer shares her story… and if you are looking for an alternative therapy then perhaps Menozac is the answer…

I remember very distinctly my mother’s menopause. I was a teen at the time, and her doctor placed her on HRT – Hormone Replacement Therapy – which was the most common treatment at that time. I was certainly at a sensitive moment in my own life, but it was improved by having my mother turn into a hypochondriac monster who was liable to fly into a rage or into tears at any moment for any, or no, reason, or who was often too ill to participate in my life.

She is over it now, and with hindsight and the advanced medical knowledge now available, has also discussed with me her feeling that many of her problems were actually side effects of the HRT.

My children are teens now, and it was with a faint feeling of horror that I began to recognize the signs of menopause in myself a few years ago. Hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia were unpleasant enough, but worse of all, to me, were the anxiety, mood swings, and depression. I soon noticed my family walking on eggshells around me. My unpleasant memories of my teen years returned to me and I feared a repeat for my own children.

Since my mother’s experience, ERT has been linked to cancer, and HRT to the significant side effects that she experienced. Menopause may be unpleasant, but cancer can be life threatening! That doesn’t seem like a fair trade to me.

I set out to find an alternative. I believe many of our health problems are caused by diet and can be resolved with diet. My research turned up facts such as soy being helpful for menopausal women, as well as certain herbal teas. These helped me, but not enough.

Menozac is a blend of herbal extracts designed to ease the transition of menopause, and provide relief from many of the symptoms, from the uncomfortable and even embarrassing hot flashes, to the dreaded mood swings. Two tablets a day, easy to remember, easy to take, eases my menopausal symptoms so that I can make the transition easily and without causing myself or my family unnecessary grief.

After all, menopause is a natural transition all women make at this time in their life. It shouldn’t be traumatic, but a perfectly natural change in our life cycle. Menozac helps me ease through this change, without all the drama. I recommend it highly to anyone who feels they are “suffering” menopause.

Menopause should not equal suffering, it is not a disease. It is a natural change, and there are natural substances that can help your body and you cope with the changes. Menozac blends those substances into an easy to use form so you can get on with your life – and keep up with those teenagers!

It’s red and grows only in specific regions within China and Japan. It has been used in Chinese medicine for about 2,000 years and is being herald as the new elixir of life. It is Ganoderma, otherwise known as the Reiki Mushroom.

It is being hailed as a modern day wonder drug and its little wonder. This fungus has been known to treat symptoms as minor as an insect bit to potential of curing hepatitis and cancer.

It does seem a little too good to be true, I know but after fifteen years of steady research and a population of over a million people who take it regularly, none have shown any adverse results, is it little wonder. Still not convinced?

Basically, this plant is being heralded as a universal medicine. It acts on the process of aging and homeostasis (body balance). What the components in Ganoderma do, it finds the affected areas, whether it be an old injury that hasn’t healed properly or an illness that you can’t seem to shake, and restores it to its original balance.

Some people who go through the detoxification program have experienced symptoms of illness or the symptomatic problems of the past only to have these removed a week or two later. As it was described to me, the Ganoderma fungus reacts to the damaged areas and remembers them before flushing it out of the system.

Now to get technical…

The findings of this mushroom are:

For those of you who are in general good health, it may increase your mental capacities, energy, help prevent cancer and will increase the immunity. As I have already mentioned, the compound germanium is the key.

The studies so far have shown that it is completely absorbed, metabolised and discharged from the body within 20 – 30 hours. And as to date, there have been no side effects.

By what I’ve been able to understand, this fungus works on the acidity level within the system. It has been the foundation of Chinese medicine that if the body is running at too high a level, that disease and illness will occur. Hence why it is imperative to balance what we consume.

With the build up of hype over healthy eating and the emergence of even more people becoming sick, we have to wonder if our food is really good for us. Many foods still contain high levels of heavy metals which are exceedingly difficult for the body to remove. It is another advantage of Ganoderma.

It can effectively remove these metals by breaking them down until they are harmless enough to pass through the blood stream and be disposed by the body’s waste management.

I guess before we start using this as the next wave of alternative medicine to cover our own laziness, we should examine what we eat and how we live. If we persist in flooding our bodies with our increasingly refined lifestyle, is it little wonder that we aren’t as healthy as our older counterparts?
