A member asked:

How come loss of bone marrow is almost never found in men?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is noted in men: Causes may vary for the loss of the blood factory's ability to function well. While some may be related to gender issues, there are many diagnoses that involve loss of marrow function in men as well.
