Dr. Wladislaw Ellis M.D. has some good information on his website -

What particularly caught my eye was this excerpt:
Quote:

In my own series of over fifteen hundred patients with this disorder, there has been a 14:1 female-to-male ratio. In most other series, this ratio varies from 3:1 to 7:1. This disorder has a clear-cut and, as yet, unexplained predilection for women,which has been variously assumed to be due to work choice, poor posture, large breast size, and a penchant for complaining. None of these, in fact, are entirely convincing, although I should note that women with large breasts and TOS do report a moderate decrease in symptoms following breast reduction.

I've decided to ignore his statement of "a penchant for complaining" for the time being.
It seems the majority of forum posters are female I am curious as to what our numbers are here. If you wouldn't mind responding to the poll and add your opinions regarding TOS in women vs men.
