Medical experts have revealed that women face a much higher risk of certain diseases and higher mortality rates compared to men.
Heart disease is an extremely serious and life threatening issue among women, which is often ignored despite being a major cause of increased mortality among females.
According to a report, unlike men, women may experience various symptoms in addition to severe chest pain.
Medical experts say that certain health problems affect women more than men, however, many people are not fully aware of the symptoms and risks associated with these diseases.
According to experts, heart disease is among the leading causes of death in women, while its symptoms may differ from those in men, which can sometimes make timely diagnosis difficult.
Similarly, migraine affects women nearly three times more than men, with hormonal changes considered one of the major reasons. Experts say that severe headaches can sometimes force patients to stay away from light and noise.
According to the medical report, women may also face double the risk of anxiety and depression compared to men, due not only to emotional conditions but also to changes in brain chemistry and hormonal fluctuations.
Experts further stated that immune system diseases such as lupus and multiple sclerosis also affect women more, with the rate reaching up to 80 percent in some cases.
Likewise, osteoporosis, or weakening of the bones, is more common among women, especially after menopause, and according to medical statistics, nearly 80 percent of people affected by this disease are women.
