Why are women more likely to feel whole body pain during menopause? If we analyze this from the root, it is of course closely related to the special physiological changes of female menopause, but if we subdivide it, it is mainly due to the following two reasons.
The first reason is the risk of osteoporosis caused by accelerated bone loss. The reason why women have menopause is precisely because the age of 45 to 55 is a transitional stage of gradual decline of ovarian function, from reproductive organs to non-reproductive organs. As one of the main organs that secrete estrogen in women, the function of ovary gradually declines, which will greatly reduce the estrogen level in women.
For female friends, estrogen is a very important hormone, which plays an important role in maintaining various physiological functions of women. The decrease of estrogen level in women will also affect the bone metabolism of human body, leading to the acceleration of bone loss. At this time, if the calcium in our body is insufficient, or the speed of osteogenesis can't keep up, our bone density will gradually decrease, thus gradually forming the problem of osteoporosis.
In the process of accelerating bone loss and gradually reducing bone density, menopausal female friends are prone to various bone pain symptoms such as back pain and leg pain. If we do not pay attention to actively prevent osteoporosis, once osteoporosis really forms, once an accident or impact occurs, the risk of fracture will greatly increase. Therefore, menopausal female friends sometimes feel whole body pain, which is probably caused by accelerated bone loss and osteoporosis.
Another important cause of pain in menopausal women is autonomic nervous disorder. Autonomic nerve, also called autonomic nerve, is a group of nerves in our body that are not controlled by people, and are controlled and regulated by hypothalamus and cerebral cortex. It is divided into sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve, which restrict each other and play an important role in myocardial, smooth muscle and gland secretion. If our autonomic nerves are in a healthy and balanced state, it will not cause physical discomfort, but if one of these two groups of nerves has the upper hand, it will appear.
Due to the decrease of estrogen level, menopausal women will have various discomfort symptoms in their bodies. These discomforts and changes in hormone levels greatly increase the probability of autonomic nervous disorder in menopausal women, which will lead to various discomforts, such as emotional instability, irritability, palpitation, tension, shallow sleep, insomnia, dreaminess, fatigue and other symptoms, and may also lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, abdominal distension, heartburn, loss of appetite and so on.
In addition to the above symptoms, some menopausal women with autonomic nervous disorders will also have symptoms of systemic wandering pain. This kind of pain problem is often not fixed, which may be bone pain, muscle pain, abnormal skin sensation or visceral discomfort, such as stomach pain. Therefore, if there is autonomic nervous disorder in menopause, it will also lead to pain and discomfort in menopausal women.
Menopausal women are sore all over, how should they be relieved and improved? Knowing the specific reasons that may lead to the whole body pain symptoms of menopausal women, it is relatively simple to talk about how to adjust and improve. If you are going through menopause and feel pain and discomfort all over your body, you may wish to find out the cause from the etiology first. You can check from the orthopedics to see if there is a decrease in bone density, accelerated bone loss, or even osteoporosis. If there is, and the pain symptoms are mainly concentrated in the back, showing typical symptoms of bone pain, you may wish to do so. If there is no problem of osteoporosis, the whole body pain is often accompanied by symptoms of irritability and insomnia, and the pain site is not single, and it is full of wandering pain. Let's go to the neurology department to see if it is caused by autonomic nerve disorder. But no matter what causes the whole body pain, for menopausal female friends, in order to alleviate and reduce the risk of pain, it is recommended to pay more attention to the following aspects.
First of all, pay attention to maintaining good and healthy eating habits. In the menopause stage, not only will bone loss accelerate, but the body's ability to metabolize lipids will further decline. Problems such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension and elevated blood sugar are more likely to appear in middle-aged menopausal women. Therefore, in terms of diet, we should pay more attention to nutritional balance and control overeating and excess energy.
Besides paying attention to the adequate supplement of calcium and vitamin D, various ingredients rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and high-quality protein should also be reasonably matched. If you can't get enough nutrition from your diet, you can also consider taking calcium supplements and vitamin supplements to strengthen your nutrition. Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, as well as other balanced nutrients, can reduce the risk of osteoporosis caused by accelerated bone loss, and it is also an important way of life conditioning to strengthen the metabolic capacity of other aspects of the body and avoid the "three highs" problem, which is worthy of our persistence.
Strengthen physical exercise, the importance of physical exercise for menopausal women is beyond doubt, especially for some friends who often hurt here and there, and pay more attention to regular physical exercise. Physical exercise can promote the metabolic vitality of the body, promote the formation of calcium bone, strengthen bones and muscles, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, and at the same time enhance the coordination of the human body and reduce the risk of fractures caused by falls. In addition, for some people who are easily agitated, for depressed menopausal female friends, exercise helps to release stress, relieve emotions and improve sleep. Therefore, whether from the aspects of preventing and improving osteoporosis or regulating the balance of autonomic nerves, exercise is a very important way of conditioning, which may make them move and gradually form habits, and the problem of pain everywhere will gradually disappear.
Learn to relax and keep a peaceful mind. This is easier said than done. It's really hard to do. Female friends at this stage tend to be old and young, and their social life is under great pressure. At the same time, various physical discomforts will often strike, but in any case, unhappiness, anxiety, tension and other emotions can not reduce the pressure we bear. Instead of being influenced by negative emotions every day, it is better to keep a peaceful and optimistic attitude and scientifically understand some health problems that may occur during menopause. Maintaining a good mood is also an important aspect of improving sleep and reducing autonomic nervous disorders. Therefore, for friends suffering from autonomic nervous disorder, pay attention to emotional regulation, exercise more, socialize more, keep a good sleep, try to do some relaxation exercises, and participate in some activities that help relieve emotions.
In addition to paying attention to the above aspects in life, menopausal friends who are diagnosed with osteoporosis or autonomic nerve disorder should pay more attention. If the situation is serious, they should seek medical attention and recuperate in time. For osteoporosis cases, in addition to calcium supplementation and vitamin D, drugs that inhibit calcium loss, such as phosphonates and estrogen drugs such as raloxifene, can be used to treat and regulate osteoporosis. For female friends with autonomic nervous disorders, medication can also be used to assist in improvement and conditioning.
