Many people assume that women have the highest pain thresholds to prepare them for the agony of childbirth. But is this really the case?
Our chiropractor in Stoke on Trent believes that pain can affect men and women differently. While oestrogen and testosterone certainly play a role in how men and women deal with pain, psychology and culture are also accountable. Women, for example, are typically more likely to seek help for their pain and to employ a variety of coping strategies.
While many scientists are turning their attention to the study of gender differences and pain, we can only base our opinions on our experience. We can also only deal with how men and women respond to pain. Whether or not it feels any worse to either gender will perhaps always be a mystery…
