Now, women's sex hormones being used for treating Coronavirus infected men's!
Do women's sex hormones prove better able to fight against the Coronavirus infection?
APRIL 29 (APRIL) - The whole world is currently fighting a war against the Coronavirus infection. So far, 2,18,139 people have died due to the Coronavirus infection disease due to the mistake, the negligence, and the irresponsible attitude of the Chinese leftist government. No authentic medicine for the disease of the Coronavirus infection, which originated and spread from Wuhan city of China, has not yet been made. Although with the efforts of doctors, patients infected with the Coronavirus infection are recovering in large numbers.
But as you have read and heard, the death rate of women in the Coronavirus infection disease is lower than men. Such a trend is recorded in almost all countries since the onset of the Coronavirus infection. According to a research, conducted in the month of February in China, from where the Coronavirus infection disease has spread all over the world, 2.8% of men died of the Coronavirus infection disease, while the death rate in women was 1.7%.
Not only in China, but also the same pattern has been observed in America, Italy, France, UK, Germany, Australia, and South Korea that in these countries also; men are dying more due to the Coronavirus infection disease than women.
Now, men are dying more than women due to the Coronavirus infection. In such a situation, now, scientists are trying to understand whether they are somewhat safer than men due to the Coronavirus infection due to the sex hormones estrogen and progestron found in women?
In fact, in the other diseases of the Coronavirus family, it has been observed that there are more deaths of men than women. For your information, let's know that during SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) disease in 2003, or MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) disease in 2012, the death rate in men was seen more than women. Since these diseases are associated with the respiratory system, therefore; due to the high rate of death of men due to these diseases, such diseases are also called 'Man Flu'.
But medical experts believe that the genetic structure of women may also be one of the causes for fewer deaths in women than men in the Coronavirus family-borne diseases. Actually, women have two X chromosomes, and these X chromosomes contain most of the genes that strengthen the human immune system. While comparatively, few are found in Y chromosomes in males. For this reason, the immune system of women works better in fighting diseases than the immune system of men.
For this reason, Stony Brook University, New York, has started treating some male patients infected with the Coronavirus infection with estrogen hormones found in women. Not only this but also the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, has started giving a mild dose of progesterone to male patients infected with the Coronavirus infection. Physicians and scientists are now waiting for the results of the treatment.
Dr Sara Ghandehari, the chief scientist, who is involved in this research, says that women are able to compete relatively better with the Coronavirus infection disease than men. Even in pregnant women, who have significantly higher levels of the two hormones, the Coronavirus infection is rarely seen. For all these reasons, there is an attempt to treat male patients infected with the Coronavirus with female hormones.
But many experts in this field have some other argument about this. Scientists say that these two hormones of women have nothing to do with the recovery from the Coronavirus disease. According to scientists, such hormones are much higher in women during the reproductive stage, which increases further during pregnancy. But before the menopause, these hormones start to decrease, and these two female hormones are almost eliminated from the women as soon as the menopause occurs.
According to scientists, if both these hormones are protecting the women from the Coronavirus infection, then the women of older age who have had menopause should also have higher mortality rate than men. But this is not seen. Because even older women with menopause are recovering from the Coronavirus infection disease better than men of their own age. Well, now it has to be seen that how positive the treatment of men infected with the Coronavirus infection is with female hormones.
