De Groene CupDr. Astha Dayal, Director- Obstetrics and Gynaecology, CK Birla Hospital Gurugram, explains, "women are said to have a higher pain tolerance. This may be attributed to the biological, hormonal, and psychological factors that make up the woman's nature. Biologically, women are designed to endure the severe pain of childbirth, which may have influenced evolutionary adaptations that increase their pain threshold."
"Other hormones such as estrogen also contribute significantly to the perception of pain. Estrogen can activate receptors in the brain that reduce sensitivity sometimes, but it changes with hormonal fluctuations like #MenstrualCycles, #Pregnancy, or #Menopause"
