Joint pains can be encountered due to several reasons in both men and women of different age groups. It can be due to lack of exercise, pain due to sustained injury, congenital defects etc. But, it is a commonly observed that most women experience menopausal joint pain symptoms. Now, this has led the Medical experts to diligently discover the link between hormonal changes and this kind of pain.
Some women experience joint and muscle pain, mouth discomfort, headaches and some even report heart palpitations. Interestingly, women who suffered tension headaches, abdominal, or facial pain, found their symptoms lessened after the occurrence of the menopause. This phenomenon has led the scientists to conclude a certain link / connection between low estrogen (hormone) levels (or fluctuating estrogen levels) and this kind of a joint pain. Usually, these symptoms indicate osteoporosis and arthritis, which results in weakening of the bones and the degeneration of the cartilage between the joints that can fracture easily following a fall.
