Why does a woman's left leg ache?

Since legs are used for walking, if there is a problem with the legs, it will inevitably affect a person's normal walking function, and will in turn have a great impact on a person's daily life. Therefore, if a woman experiences left leg pain, she must find out the cause and seek treatment in a timely manner. The main causes of left leg pain in women include: kidney deficiency, anemia, muscle weakness, endocrine diseases and lack of proper rest.

1. Kidney deficiency

Kidney deficiency is also one of the causes of leg pain, so kidney deficiency should be treated as soon as possible. Kidney deficiency refers to the deficiency of kidney essence, qi, yin and yang. Symptoms of kidney deficiency: The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are low back pain, cold limbs, fear of cold, and even edema, which are symptoms of "cold". Poor reproductive function can also lead to kidney yang deficiency; the symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are "heat", mainly low back pain, dryness, night sweats, spontaneous sweats, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. Modern science has proven that when a person suffers from kidney deficiency, whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, it will lead to a decrease in the person's immune ability, the kidney's microcirculation system will also be blocked, and the kidney network will become blocked, which will cause leg pain.

2. Anemia

The presence or severity of anemia symptoms depends on the degree of anemia, the speed at which anemia occurs, whether there is a change in circulating blood volume, the patient's age, and the compensatory capacity of the cardiovascular system. Anemia occurs slowly and the body can gradually adapt. Even if the anemia is severe, physiological functions can still be maintained. On the contrary, if anemia occurs in a short period of time, even if the degree of anemia is not severe, obvious symptoms may appear. The symptoms are more obvious in the elderly and weak or those with decreased cardiopulmonary function. Frequent anemia can also cause leg pain.

3. Muscle weakness

Muscle weakness can also cause leg pain, and this condition can be treated!

4. Endocrine diseases

Endocrine gland diseases can be divided into three groups according to the functions of the endocrine glands. So what are they specifically? Let’s take a look together!

① Hyperfunction. It is often accompanied by clinical symptoms caused by excessive hormone secretion from glandular hyperplasia and adenoma (cancer), such as primary aldosteronism and hyperparathyroidism.

② Functional decline. Due to the destruction of endocrine glands by various reasons (such as congenital developmental abnormalities, genetics, inflammation, fibrosis or autoimmunity, drugs, surgery and radiation, etc.), it causes insufficient hormone synthesis and secretion, such as anterior pituitary dysfunction and chronic adrenal cortex insufficiency.

③The function is normal but the glandular tissue structure is abnormal. For example, simple goiter and thyroid cancer have normal functions, but there are pathological changes in the tissue structure.

5. Poor rest

If there is not enough rest time, the muscle tissue cannot be effectively adjusted and the energy provided by the cells is insufficient, resulting in muscle soreness and weak legs.
