Women have severe first strokes than men and remain more disabled afterwards, as found by a Spanish research. Female patients will be more likely than male patients to suffer from speech disorders, vision disturbances, and difficult in swallowing.
The reason for such differences is not well understood. Nevertheless, it is believed that factors such as older age, greater stroke severity, and higher rate of in-hospital medical complications in women might possibly be responsible.
