膝が痛い　更年期

#menopause #kneepain #膝痛

膝が痛いという訴えが多いのは、ベッドから起きる時や立ち上がって歩き始める時などの動作開始時、正座・階段昇降、長時間の立位・歩行後などです。
特に更年期になると、ひざの痛みを訴える女性が増えてきます。骨、関節や軟骨も、女性に多くあるホルモン、エストロゲンに守られてきています。更年期にエストロゲンが減少することで、関節の痛みなどの症状が出やすくなります。整形外科を受診してもレントゲン検査の所見では異常がない場合が多く、検査の結果と膝の痛みは必ずしも一致しません。
The most common complaints of knee pain are at the start of activities such as getting out of bed or standing up to start walking, as well as during activities such as sitting on the floor, climbing stairs, and after prolonged standing or walking.
During menopause, an increasing number of women complain of knee pain.Bones, joints and cartilage have also been protected by estrogen.The decrease in estrogen during menopause can lead to joint pain and other symptoms.

In many cases, when an orthopedic surgeon is consulted, the findings of an x-ray examination are not abnormal, and the results of the examination do not necessarily correspond to knee pain.
