Women feel more pain than men. To this conclusion comes the Californian physician John Levine, of the University of San Francisco, analyzing a new analgesic in the family of morphine. A companion suggested that the results could be affected by the fact that the majority of the group of patients were women.

Levine was very surprised, but has found a clear relationship between the sex of patients and their reaction to pain. Women feel more affected, but analgesics are easier and longer. They still do not know what is the physiological cause of this difference.
