There are many unique aspects of asthma in women. Compared with men, women go through several hormonal stages over the life span-childhood, menarche, reproductive years, pregnancy, menopause, and postmenopause-and each affects asthma. Onset of asthma in women differs from men. Asthma in women is more often associated with obesity and women are over-represented among patients with severe asthma, including those being prescribed biologic therapies. Asthma affects fertility and pregnancy, and female hormone replacement therapy has been found to affect asthma onset as well as asthma severity. We explore the unique aspects of asthma in women.
女性哮喘有许多独特之处。与男性相比，女性在一生中会经历几个激素阶段——儿童期、初潮期、生育期、孕期、绝经期和绝经后——每个阶段都会影响哮喘。女性哮喘的发病与男性不同。女性哮喘更常与肥胖有关，而且在严重哮喘患者中，女性比例过高，包括接受生物治疗的患者。哮喘会影响生育能力和妊娠，女性激素替代疗法已被发现会影响哮喘的发病和严重程度。我们探讨了女性哮喘的独特方面。
