Sex Differences In Pain: A Multifaceted Understanding
Received Date: Oct 01, 2025 / Published Date: Oct 29, 2025
Abstract
Sex differences in pain are influenced by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Women report higher pain intensity and frequency, influenced by hormonal fluctuations, genetics, neurobiology, and immune responses. Psychological elements like anxiety and coping strategies, along with sociocultural expectations, further shape pain experiences. These distinctions impact the prevalence of certain chronic pain conditions and necessitate sex-informed treatment approaches for optimized patient care and outcomes.
