If you are also among those people who take painkillers for the slightest pain, then it can cause a lot of harm to your health. Recent research has revealed that female patients are given fewer painkillers than men. This fact has come to light in this research conducted at the Hebrew University. This research, conducted under the supervision of Professor Shoham Choshen Hillel and Mika Guzikevits, has revealed that there is a lot of difference between the medicines given to male and female patients in the emergency ward of the hospital. Let's know why there is this difference.

The truth revealed in research

Scientists from the Hebrew University analyzed the data of patients admitted to hospitals in the US and Israel. It has been found that even after considering the level of pain and age, there is a difference in the dosage of painkillers for male and female patients. Female patients are given less painkillers than men.

Waiting is done in case of emergency

If the study claims, women are advised to take painkillers in normal treatment, but even in the emergency department of hospitals, women patients have to wait for an additional 30 minutes for painkillers as compared to men. However, the research has not confirmed how correct it is to do so in emergency conditions.

Why has there been such discrimination?

Responding to this, the researchers said that there is no scientific reason behind this, rather it is a long-standing conservative belief. In which it is believed that women's pain does not need to be taken seriously. This is the reason why women's pain has been ignored for some time.

What do experts say

Hebrew University professor and lead scientist of the study Shoham Chosen Hillel said that the research shows that the claim being made behind giving fewer painkillers to women promotes an old conservative idea. Which is absolutely wrong to believe in today's age of science. According to him, women should also get the same painkiller medicines as men.
