Man flu: men's complaints may be worse than women's

Research suggests that men may experience more severe flu symptoms than women. This is according to an article by HLN, which looks at the so-called 'man flu'.

According to the source, hormonal differences and the immune system may play a role. Men may be less resistant to infections, resulting in more severe symptoms.

However, it remains a controversial topic. Some experts suggest that men may be more likely to emphasise their symptoms. HLN attempts to set out the facts.

It is not yet entirely clear whether the 'man flu' really exists. More research is needed to provide a definitive answer.

This report is a summary based on the source mentioned and is not medical advice. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have symptoms.
