We compared 50 women with somatization disorder to 25 women with major depression. The somatizers had three times as many operations and hospitalizations as the depressed women. Hospitalizations for headache and backache, abdominal and pelvic operations, and radiologic studies for abdominal complaints occurred frequently in the somatizers. Important factors in the excess medical care of these women were the difficulty in diagnosis and the unwillingness of physicians to use the diagnosis of somatization disorder to limit medical care. Even though somatization disorder has been well described in the medical literature for 30 years, somatizers still receive excess medical care.
我们将50名患有躯体化障碍的女性与25名患有重度抑郁症的女性进行了比较。患有躯体化障碍的女性接受的手术和住院治疗次数是抑郁症女性的三倍。患有躯体化障碍的女性经常因头痛、背痛、腹部和盆腔手术以及针对腹部不适的放射学检查而住院。这些女性接受过度医疗护理的重要因素是诊断困难以及医生不愿使用躯体化障碍的诊断来限制医疗护理。尽管躯体化障碍在医学文献中已有30年的详细描述，但患有躯体化障碍的女性仍然接受过度医疗护理。
