Do women have more health problems than men?

Author: Putting pregnancy aside, do woman really have more health problems than men? Or is it just that woman’s health issues get more press?
I only ask as most of the health products that you see advertised, and most of the health magazines, are aimed at woman. And because you always see people talking about woman’s health on the TV.
Do men actually have a similar number of problems but they aren’t as profitable for companies to deal with, or don’t they get concerned about them as much? Do men just use woman’s health products? Or are they actually healthier?
I’ve noticed that pretty much all "stomach medicine" is aimed at women. Anti bloating, anti gas, laxatives, anti diarrhea, and so on.
Do men not suffer from any of these problems, do they suffer but not treat them, or do they just sneak their wives medicine?

It’s complex. Women do have many reproductive system issues than men. But it’s also good marketing to make something that is said to be special and unique to a certain group, like women. Meanwhile, men tend to take longer to go to the doctor than women when sick, because doing so implies weakness. So medical things marketed to them tend not to do well, unless it’s about better sex performance.
