	I read this article By a charted physiotherapist in a magazine, thought it quite informative. Pain HORMONAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ME & WOMEN Studies show that stressed- induced analgesia maybe supressed by the sex hormone, ostregen. Changes in sex hormones have been found to moderate pain (eg. menstrual cycle, pregnancy) Accordingto some studies, gender diferences in pain prevalence appear to attenuate afer the reproductive years. Brain function differences. Structrural differences within the brain can affect how pain is processed; biologically women react to painstimuli at a lower threshold than men Women & Migraine Migraine is a neurological disorder. 18% of women with migraine and 6% of mensuffer from migraine headaches. Genetic predisposition plays a role in most suffers. 15% of women suffer migraine around the tme of their menstrual period. Two thirds of women stop having migraine during pregnancy Two thirds of women have a decreased frequency of migraine after menopause. Women who have aura should stop smoking because of increase in the risk of stroke.
