- Abstract
Pain is an important health problem that has existed as long as human history and has struggled to cope with throughout history. Pain is an important issue that impairs the functionality of individuals as well as the economic damage. It is a known fact that there are gender differences in chronic pain. Men more tolerant of pain than women. Women have lower pain thresholds. The reason for the differences in pain tolerance between men and women can be explained by traditional approaches, and depending on the individual's compliance with social norms according to gender. Individuals with a high level of identification with their gender have different responses to pain. Gender differences are often associated with differences in the hormonal regulation of brain activity. Biological factors in pain in men and women are complex, multifaceted, and psychological and social factors should be taken into consideration. The perception of pain and the meaning of pain vary across cultures. Culture can influence demand for medication or treatment to help relieve pain. Culture-specific attitudes and beliefs about the source, role, and meaning of pain influence both how individuals perceive and respond to their own pain and how they perceive and respond to the pain of others. Although many studies in the world have investigated the gender role expectations of pain behaviors in different cultures, there is no study on this subject in our country. In this review article, the role of gender and the effect of culture on pain in general were examined.
