Women's knees are sore and their calves feel heavy

In daily life, many people often find knee pain, especially women. This is very common because women's bodies are relatively weak and the knee joint is a sensitive area. In some cases, the knee joint even bears the weight of the whole body. Therefore, the knee joint is very prone to knee pain. So for women, is knee pain caused by calcium deficiency?

Knee weakness is a very common symptom. Many people think that it is the same for men and women because everyone has this physiological structure. Moreover, the knee joint is a very strong part compared to other parts of the human body and is not easily injured. However, there are many reasons why women's knees are more susceptible to injury than men's. Many people don't know why women's knees are sore. Are there any differences between the causes of women's knees and men's?

In fact, due to different physiological characteristics, women have wider hips, which increases the pressure on the inside of the knee joint. Some people also say that estrogen and other female hormones can cause the kneecap to loosen and become loose, so women's kneecaps will become more unbalanced because of this and are more prone to injury than men's. In addition, men's frames are inherently harder and larger than women's, so they provide stronger support and stability for the human body than women.

Women are relatively more likely to gain weight than men, but their bones are still smaller and more delicate. Therefore, women's knee joints will bear more weight, which will cause knee soreness. When women are pregnant, the increased weight of themselves and their babies will also put more pressure on the knee joints. Therefore, many women will feel some pain in the knee joints after giving birth, and they must receive good medical care at this time.

Women's weak knees are not all due to calcium deficiency. When women are jogging or doing other postures, they are more likely to keep their upper body vertical than men. This posture will prevent the biceps femoris from flexing and extending, thereby affecting the knee joints and tendons. Therefore, women must pay attention to improving and protecting their knee joints in daily life, not to let them get cold, and change their lifestyle to protect their knee joints.

Women's calf weakness

1. Patients must understand that this disease is closely related to fatigue. Excessive or vigorous foot exercise during the day can cause fatigue. If the muscle tension is not improved at night, the excessive metabolic substances cannot be metabolized in time. Its stimulation can cause leg cramps and coldness. When sleeping at night, the feet and legs are cold, which can cause leg muscle cramps.

2. Patients must be aware that hypocalcemia is also the cause of this disease. When the body produces hypocalcemia, the excitation threshold of the neuromuscular junction decreases, and the stimulation intensity significantly lower than normal can cause neuromuscular excitation, which can easily cause abnormal contraction and cause calf cramps. This condition is common in pregnant women and the elderly who are calcium deficient.

3. Patients must understand that another factor of this disease is the blood factor. For patients with varicose veins in the feet or superficial vein thrombosis, if they maintain a certain posture for a long time when sleeping at night, the veins in the feet will be stressed and blood flow will be blocked, causing blood stasis. When the blood stasis reaches a certain level, it will cause muscle cramps in the thigh muscles.
