(Tyler, Texas) – I do not get sick very often. When I do get sick, it’s a doozy. Having said that, I’m not much of a complainer when I’m sick. I’ll just take my medicine and get as much rest as possible so I can get over whatever is ailing me. But if your man is a complainer when he’s sick, don’t ignore it. There is science to back up that men feel worse when sick then women. So yes, we men can lay in bed all day when we’re sick and complain a little because we really do feel awful.
Men Really Do Feel Worse When Sick
There was a research project at Johns Hopkins University many years ago where nasal cells were collected from men and women and then infected with influenza A. Those researchers also injected estrogen into some of the same cells. What the researchers found is that the cells that were injected with estrogen reduced the replication of the virus.
In other words, estrogen helped fight off the infection and reduced the symptoms associated with the virus.
It was also noted that testosterone, the male hormone, actually weakens the immune system making it less likely to fight off the virus and make the symptoms from the virus much worse.
Men are Not Complaining When Sick Just to Complain
In a study from Memorial University of Newfoundland, researcher Kyle Sue found that men have more hospital admissions due to the flu. The death rate from the flu is also higher in men. The research also backed up that a man’s immune system is weaker simply because of testosterone.
So ladies, if your man is sick, and you think he’s complaining and moaning for no reason, he’s not. He’s not faking it, he’s not trying to get out of his honey do list, he’s not being lazy, he really does feel bad. Give him time to rest and some chicken noodle soup and he’ll back to normal in no time.
