There are a number of diseases that women usually get more often than men. Editorial NEWS. am Medicine brings to your attention 5 such diseases:.

Lupus erythematosus Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which immune cells attack healthy cells in the body and destroy them.. What causes lupus - no one knows; it is also not clear why it is most often women who suffer from it, and of childbearing age. However, the fact that lupus is a very serious and dangerous disease, and in the absence of proper treatment, it can quickly lead to death.

Multiple sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that women suffer 2-3 times more often than men. Most often, this disease is diagnosed between 20 and 40 years old, and it is very dangerous, as it leads to paralysis, loss of vision and, sooner or later, to death. There is currently no effective treatment for multiple sclerosis..

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome For unknown reasons, women are four times more likely to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, the main symptoms of which are not only constant fatigue, but also muscle pain, insomnia and memory loss.

Depression. Many experts say that women are twice as likely to experience depression as men..

This is probably due to the hormonal characteristics of women: the constant fluctuations in the hormonal levels during the menstrual cycle affect the mood and well-being of the fair sex.

Colon irritation syndrome Colon irritation syndrome, which causes cramping, pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation, is also more common in women. Probably, this is also associated with a permanently changing hormonal background of a woman.
