Researchers have found that chronic pain and testosterone have a link that translates to the greater number of women who suffer from chronic pain. As it turns out, testosterone has influence on the way muscles in the human body heals thus making men less likely to suffer from chronic pain. The research proves that there is a biological link between pain and fatigue through molecular analysis and the mechanisms that bring out fatigue. The muscles of men deal better with protecting them from damage with the help of the hormone testosterone which occurs only in small amounts in women explaining their higher incidence rate. Researchers are trying to establish a better approach at managing chronic pain to help women better deal with the painful condition.
