Men Are Being Injected With Women's S.e.x Hormones To Help Them Survive COVID-19

As we know more of the novel Coronavirus, a pattern emerges. It seems like the pandemic hits the elderly and the poor the hardest, which is easy to explain as these two groups are most likely to carry other diseases that weaken their immune system.

However, as statistics shows, men are more likely to contract and die of the virus than women. This pattern is observed in the U.S, China, and Italy, the three countries with a huge number of COVID-19 patients.

This baffled scientists and makes them wonder if female s.e.x hormones have an impact on how severely a person can be affected by the virus.

And in desperate time we need desperate solutions, scientists are conducting tests which they dose men with female s.e.x hormones for a limited duration of time.

The trials are done by some doctors in New York and their main focus is estrogen, a hormone found in large quantities in women. A separate group in Los Angeles will do the same test but with progesterone, which mainly appears in female bodies.

According to Dr. Sara Ghandehari, an intensive care physician and a pulmonologist at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, 75% of people who are in the hospital’s intensive care are men. She also revealed that pregnant women, who usually have an impaired immune system but a higher level of progesterone and estrogen, usually show milder symptoms of the disease.

However, experts studying the differences between men’s and women’s immune systems warn that the tests might fail to be the cure we are hoping for. They point at a fact that elderly women, whose hormone level is lower, still outlive men.

The study conducted by the Cedars-Sinai involved 40 patients who will be injected with two shots of progesterone per day for the course of five days.

Both female s.e.x hormones are believed to cause no severe side effects. Participants of these tests will be warned of side effects like hot flashes and tenderness of the breast.
