Many people think that gender medicine - itgynecology, cosmetology or even sex-change operations. In fact, researchers found that men and women suffer in different ways, which affects the treatments.
Back in the 70s, doctors noticed,that men and women are not only different life, but they are still at different frequencies suffer from seemingly unrelated to sex diseases ranging from heart attack and ending with hepatitis. And they suffer differently: complain of different symptoms, or respond to medications. The Accounts Chamber of the United States found that 80% of drugs withdrawn from the market, banned because of the unexpected side effects just at the girls. They suddenly found themselves because of all the clinical trials were carried out on men, it's easier - most of the medication is checked exclusively on them: no monthly hormonal fluctuations, the risk that someone gets pregnant. This is bad, because the pills and treatments work differently with respect to women and men, so in the foreseeable future, the gender differences have to learn all the doctors.
CE? DCE AND VESSELS
WHAT? AZZNICA? Severe chest pain, radiating to the left shoulderand the hand is considered typical sign of myocardial infarction. But this is true only for men. In women, the symptoms are much more likely is a sudden feeling of tiredness and pain can occur in the abdomen, in the back of the head, neck, or even resemble a tooth. This is the real problem of our mothers and grandmothers, as a similar picture of the disease is often ignored, and they and the doctors. Alas, the high diagnostic technologies also give failures. Coronary angiography (study method, when the contrast agent, and can consider the vascular defects in the pictures introduced through the coronary artery), which is used to detect atherosclerosis in the fairer sex often does not show anything.
We often occurs very small lossvessels. They simply can not see in the »photo.» As a result, this leads to an even more massive heart attack and the risk of death. The situation is strange: cardiovascular diseases considered mostly male, and, according to WHO, are the main cause of death in women.
WHAT WILL CHANGE? First, the approach to diagnosis. Second, the drugs to the destination. In 2005, the United States ended a 10-year study of women's health Women's Health Initiative. One of the most surprising results obtained by physicians: receiving conventional aspirin for the prevention of protects women against stroke but not heart attack. And men - on the contrary. Why? Riddle.
Statins are used to reduce the level ofcholesterol, often cause women pain in the muscles, and beta-blockers to treat hypertension and heart failure in the same dosages threaten us with a lot of side effects. It seems that many have counted, adjusted for the weaker sex.
