Women and Alcoholism

Alcoholism has been a constant factor in our society since alcohol was first introduced. It is an equal opportunity disease, but the majority of research methods, not just treatment methods, relate to men. Because not considering the different needs of men and women, many women make full use of the recovery system via a recovery system that does not correspond to their own experience. In this article I will try to study different experiences of men and women from addiction to rehabilitation in the process of addiction (especially alcohol).

The lack of attention to sex differences associated with alcohol intake caused criticism. It is well known that women metabolize alcohol at a slower rate than men and women have different heart diseases from men. Due to differences in body fat, body size, liver metabolism, kidney function, females respond differently to men than males. In addition to the high risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol, studies have shown that at any dosage, women are more sensitive to the toxic effects of alcohol on the liver than men.

Power The most common hypothesis explaining why men and women drink for different reasons believes that alcohol intake symbolizes the strong force of men over women (McClelland et al., 1972). Alcohol consumption, especially heavy drinking, is a symbol of male superiority and is often reserved for men and rejected by women (Martin, 2001; Nicolaides, 1996; Purcell, 1994; Suggs, 1996, 2001; Wang et al., 1992). Willis, 1999). Alcohol consumption among all male groups may affirm male privileged status rather than female (Campbell, 2000;

Alcohol consumption Women who drink alcohol increase the risk of breast cancer and increase the risk as alcohol intake increases. A woman who drinks 2-5 times a day compared with a woman who does not drink alcohol has a 1.5 times higher risk of developing this disease. Even if you drink a cup per day the risk of women increases slightly. Regular breast cancer screening may reveal breast abnormalities that require additional examination. Some women find breast abnormalities at home through breast self-examination or clinical breast examination by a doctor. Many breast abnormalities are discovered by mammography. Initially only 10% of the symptoms were found by physical examination. The remaining 90% is detected by mammograms and shows how important a normal mammogram is. The American Cancer Society recommends that annual mammography be initiated when a female becomes 40 years old. Women at high risk of breast cancer may start screening at an early stage
