SAME WOMAN MORE IMMUNE DISEASE 5 THIS

Being a woman seems really inconvenient. There is a monthly menstrual cycle, not to mention STDs, let alone a woman can get pregnant and give birth. Behind all the hard labors, the women got a boon that no man. They are more resistant to some types of diseases.

Some of these diseases can strike men and women. However, research shows that the risk is lower in women than in men. The causes can vary, starting with hormones to habits or lifestyle. The following are 5 diseases that are less susceptible to attack women:

1. Parkinson's Disease

Based on an analysis of 7 studies, scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine reported that men are 1.5 times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than women. One of the reasons supposedly because estrogen protects women resulting from neurodegenerative disorders.

However, in women who develop Parkinson's disease, the symptoms are even more pronounced. For example, female patients experience more chronic fatigue than male patients.

2. Liver Cancer

Compared to men, women are less likely to experience hepatocellular carcinoma, liver cancer is the most common. The incidence rate in men is about 3 times higher than women.

Women who suffer from severe liver cancer can live for months longer than men with the same disease. According to a study published in the journal International Hepatology, women whose tumors can not be removed in surgery can survive 5 months longer than men.

3. Skin Cancer

Among 68,000 patients with melanoma or skin cancer in the United States in 2010, almost as many as 39,000 people or 57 percent were male. One reason is men not women in serajin take preventive measures to protect the skin.

In a survey of 31,428 Americans by the researchers at Centracare Clinic in Minnesota, as many as 11.2 percent of women claimed to prefer to indulge in the shade, while men only 6.2 percent

4. Barrett Esophagus

Women less likely to develop Barrett esophagus than men. The disease is characterized by damage to the stomach lining of the esophagus due to acid. The disease is 2 times more common in men, according to a study published the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

It seems that female sex hormones may protect against Barrett esophagus. Nevertheless, more research is needed to understand these differences.

5. Head and Neck Cancer

Women have the possibility of a third smaller head and neck cancer than men. The findings of researchers at the National Cancer Institute also confirmed that male smokers are more often affected by head and neck cancer than women smokers.

In a study published in the journal Cancer, the researchers explained that the levels of estrogen and progesterone are higher in women may reduce the risk of head and neck cancer and upper digestive tract cancers, including cancer of the stomach and esophagus.
